Editor's Note

This issue began as a conversation with someone about our experiences in high school in relation to our life at Dartmouth. Basically, we were on opposite sides of the question "Was work in high school harder for you than it is here?" and discussed who we used to be.I went to Stuyvesant High School (yeah, that place) and I can't turn around at Dartmouth without running into a former classmate. I feel Tom (read his column to get it) one of my high school classmates was also on my freshman trip.We've got two writers facing off on the issue of public versus private, with a third thrown in to point out that maybe, high school just doesn't matter. And what about those kids that were too cool for any kind of school? Not to worry, there's an article on homeschooling too.Speaking of home, there's that one weekend coming up. (See what I did there? I'm walking all over these transitions.) Anyway, there's no Mirror next week so I'll say it today. Have a great Homecoming everyone!
