I was in elementary school in Mississippi, and when Katrina hit, my mom put me in home school. So ever since sixth grade, I've been home schooled, which was interesting.
I was home schooled in high school but was definitely the nerd in middle school. I was in three academic clubs, a huge book worm, and the teacher's pet. I was kind of an easy target for bullies.
I've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college.
I didn't go to high school, and I didn't go to grade school either. Education, I think, is for refinement and is probably a liability.
I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.
I saw my friends in medical school seeming to be more engaged with the real world. That provoked a sort of jealousy, and I decided to go to medical school after all.
I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn't really the popular girl in school and didn't have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek.
In fourth grade I had a high school reading level, but I didn't want to go to school and I didn't feel I belonged there.
High school is very intense for everyone. But at a boarding school, because you're there 24 hours a day, everything gets magnified.
I had an all right high school, even though I hated school. I wasn't massively popular, but I was okay. But I wouldn't want to do it again.
I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and I moved to Anderson, Indiana, in 2003 to go to school. I finished high school in America, then I went to college.
In grade school I was smart, but I didn't have any friends. In high school, I quit being smart and started having friends.
I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.
In my schooling through high school, I excelled mainly in chemistry, physics and mathematics.
And yet 50 percent of the kids who start high school in the United States today do not finish high school.
I was involved with my theater program in high school, and I was involved in a festival where I could audition for a lot of different schools.
What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn't a school at all.
I had managers approaching me in high school asking me if I wanted to act professionally, but to me, having to miss school to do that meant missing time with my friends, which was completely unacceptable.
I started in law school in '71 and graduated in '74. So I was training for the Olympics, running or averaging around 20 miles a day and going to law school full time.
I was a bad dater, and up until 8th grade I went to an all boy's school. So, by the time I hit high school I was a bit freaked out by women in general.
I joined the after-school club, School of Comedy, which progressed wildly, and in quite a Hollywood way. It sounds like 'School of Rock', right up to trying to raise money to pay for a venue in Edinburgh.
