What kind of school do you go to, and do you like it?

I go to a private school. It's OK. I don't have any friends there but the people seem nice in general, teachers included. Also we're allowed to play handheld games during break and lunch, which definitely suits me.

I go to an art and design specialist school... but I'm not in the art specialist stream. I have ONE very close friend there. There are lots of Aspies, and a whole team of staff in charge of them.

For the past three years I have been attending a public high school. However, the school isn't willing to put their money where their mouth is as far as bullying goes, and most of the teachers didn't seem to know how to teach. They also didn't seem to understand the fact that yelling at me isn't going to make me obey them, just make me angry, regardless of how many times my parents tried to explain.

So after a few thousand meltdowns, a whole lot of yelling and a bit of violence, it looks like I am going to be accepted into distant education. Distant ed is like being home-schooled but you still have proper teachers around to explain stuff. It's perfect for me because it means I'll no longer have to socialize with those pieces of **** commonly called my 'peers'.

A public school.
I'm in a class of 20 pupils. Sometimes it's tough, but I have nice teachers and I don't have to do things I can't do because of my Asperger's.

I go to an arts high school! I also board on the campus. I love it but, before I came, I thought it would be the most amazing place in the entire world! It is amazing, but it's not perfect. But, nothing's perfect so it's not a surprise. Though, everybody here is generally very accepting so that's a very good thing I'd have to say. Although, yes, that doesn't mean everybody is going to be your friend. They're just accepting.

A public HS, I hate it most of the time but it can be decent at times even though I've had trouble findind and keeping friends.

I went to one of the best (grade-wise) grammar schools in the UK, and I hated it. People there are all too manipulative and the teachers and staff aren't particularly friendly. meh.

A boring public high school. I would be better off at a performing arts school, because the one I'm currently attending kills creativity. The downside to attending a performing arts school is that the closest one to where I live is in Milwaukee, a 3 hour drive from my house. My mom and brother aren't willing to relocate to Milwaukee just so I could go to school there. *sigh* Guess I'll be stuck in this boring public high school until I graduate.

A comprehensive school, one of the best in the country. A lot of people there are stereotypical NTs (loud, stupid, ignorant, unable to back up their opinions, don't think before they speak, insult each other, don't attempt to learn), but some are okay.

Last year, I got to go on a school trip to our outdoor activity centre in Wales. They selected people from our school and two other schools. The people were great, not overly geeky, most jokingly called themselves "socially retarded" (they thought I was joking when I told them that I was...), and above all, I was accepted. Best week of my life. I still see the majority of the people, none of whom I was friends with beforehand. For that, I'll be in my school's debt forever.

I go here:



It's a really neat school (oldest in the SUNY system), but it's quite interesting to throw together in the same boat Long Island (Lawn Guyland) Cranies (Crane School of Music) with locals (some who have parents who teach at Potsdam), the education crowd and anyone else who ended up in the middle of nowhere. I see it as a little scary, but it's quite a small school. I'm always running into people I know.

I go to a sixth form college. I don't have any friends there yet just accquaitences but I do generally get on with the people there and I get on well with the teachers.

I attend a specialist school for people with general special needs. Its really good, theres a lot of kids with Cerebral Palsy, some with Autism(most are severe though), a few dyslexic etc.
Even though we are all very different theres virtual no bullying, very little falling out and a lot of care. We are a lot like a family type school where everybody is kind to each other and usually very accepting of difference.

I also stay until I'm 19(mainstreams 16) and we get transport to school provided.

I hated mainstream and haven't been since I was 12(16 now), I am much happier now.
