No not really. XD Corn is no different.
My teacher said she had maps for almost all of our countries. I don't know how many she is suplying for each of us if she extras though. I can find some maps in other places, but I can only get one of the internet. Oh, and I have to color them in myself. So they have to be blank. But I could find one on google.

I go to a private school too. We don't have tests in religion, we just sit and answer questions. And we read and memorize things.

Basically my school is the same as yours just a heck of a lot cheaper, and if it will fight to save a penny it will....

Catholic private school! Scary!
Do they make you use your right hand? Haha. My dad went to private catholic school as a boy and they wouldn't let him use his left hand. They believe it's the devil's hand or something. 0_o So if you were born left handed you had to learn to write with your right hand. So now my dad is right handed. Crazy!

Yeah, my school is pretty expensive. I just started going to this school last year, so it's still pretty new to me. I don't have any good friends at school yet, but I do have a best friend who's mom is my mom's best friend. She is the one who owns Nia, and she just got a new account. She is really excited but is still pretty confused about the whole RPing part.

Woo hoo! 4 day weekend! My brain hurts already from doing schoolwork, but that's probably only because it's the beggining of the school year. My brain falls asleep over the summer, so it doesn't like it when I have to wake it up again for school to start.

Yeah, I go to a private Lutheran school, too, but let me tell you it makes an amazing amount of difference in the quality and atmosphere of the school. I went to a public school up until eighth grade, and I always hated it. I was hardly ever treated as an equal and I didn't make any friends that had the same values as I did. Even my best friends during those three years of middle school were people who shoplifted and didn't give a flying turd whether they failed or not. I still liked them for their outgoing personalities and their strong friendship with me, and I still remember them and the fun we had together, but I found that I couldn't reach out to them because I didn't understand them and was sometimes a bit frightened by their actions.
Making the switch to my new school was about the best thing that's happened to me. Not only can I express my faith freely, but it's a place where I really feel at home. It's okay to say, "I'm wierd and I'm a complete dork!" because there are other people who feel the same way. No matter where you are on the "social ladder" of the school, you can still enjoy yourself because there are other people who share the same interests or personalities. Even the kid who gets picked on the most - because yes, there's at least one in every school - has friends to hang out with. It's just such a caring environment with so many friendly people that I wouldn't trade it for any school in the entire world.
Not to mention the quality of the school itself! My goodness, it might be a small school with a small budget, but they put money into the important parts of learning. They have great teachers (I couldn't even understand one of my 7th grade teachers because neither English or French was his native language), tons of extracurriculars, and very comfortable inviting classrooms. After getting to know the four security guards at my old school, I felt a whole lot safer when I switched.
Not that all public schools are horrible or that all private schools are amazing, but I love my new home. I was never really involved in school before, I didn't even take art classes because they taught the same basic concepts - that I already knew - every year. Now I'm in an advanced art class and the advanced school band, clarinet choir and yearbook and pep band... I'm even motivated to do fundraising for the music department and I'm looking into joining woodwind ensemble and the Visual Arts Classic team. I'm convinced that there isn't a better school in the entire country, just because I love, love, love, love, love my school so much.
