Oh, and I forgot: the WORST school I've ever attended. In terms of comformity, lack of educational imagination, etc. Granted it was only kindergarten and 1st grade, but the change was palpable when I moved. Lakewood was very much "march in line, desks in rows, no one does anything differently from anyone else" whereas the other elementary schools I went to were much more interesting in creativity and exploration.

These were all public schools, by the way.
