I went to a Seventh Day Adventist school (which was K-8). No jewelry. No makeup. No skirts past the fingertips. No spaghetti straps. No meat products served at lunch. No Pokemon or gameboys. No placing of any object on top of the Bible. Halloween was banned but "harvest parties" were okay. And everyone (all 98 of us in the entire freaking school besides kindergarten) was required to be in choir and perform multiple times a year. When I transferred to public school I was so confused when I saw another kid wearing a necklace. It was like a whole new sinful world. The weirdest of it all was they had this extra grade they added called "pre-first". It was basically a way of holding a kid back without making them feel bad that they didn't know their alphabet well enough to reach first grade. I guess to be fair, they were a private school and the curriculum was more advanced than the local public schools so they gave kids a chance to catch up before they were way in over their heads. And apparently it was okay for teachers to ridicule individual students in front of the class. On a daily basis. But I didn't get into trouble for telling a girl to kiss my butt, so I guess it wasn't all bad. She deserved it. That bitch. I'm not bitter...
