Hm. Interesting. I was homeschooled until college too, and had basically the opposite reaction - tight-knit boarding schools (especially girls-only ones, although Hogwarts obviously wasn't) would border on a fetish if my interest were at all sexual. They're just endlessly fascinating.

Public schools, on the other hand, were what my mother threatened us with when we misbehaved - she'd had a really spectacularly horrible experience, especially with elementary school (nonstop racial bullying, although in the area we lived in when I was little it would have been religious because we weren't Mormon), and told us about it. I have never been able to romanticize the public school system.

I have never been able to romanticize the public school system.

Lol, I was going to say that the public school experience is tough to romanticize because public schools are so incredibly mundane and underwhelming. But then I remember that lots of people went to public schools with cheer squads and big sports events, and pep rallies, and SATs, and high-pressure applications to ivy league universities, and fucking swimming pools in their schools and all that fancy stuff, and I was like, "Oh, yeah, right. I guess some people can quite easily romanticize their public school experience."

Meanwhile, my high school didn't even have a proper cafeteria. Hell, my school didn't even have bells to mark the beginning and end of classes. That whole dramatic thing you see in tv shows where the bell rings and all the students get up and walk out while the teacher continues to try to impart information to them? That never happened in my school, because you left when the teacher said you could leave.
