EDUCATION REFINED

When I reflect on my life experience so far as a 20-year-old college senior, I can’t help but think about the amount of time I have spent in the classroom. On average, students spend 15,417 hours at school from the time they begin kindergarten to the time they earn a high school degree. Most of my life so far has been devoted to learning in a school. Since preschool, the majority of the past 17 years of my life have been spent in a classroom.

I am Alli Barnard and I am a product of the public school system. I was enrolled in various public schools from preschool - 12th grade and am now a senior at a private Christian college . I have a lot to share about my experience with the public school system and how I was shaped by my time there. Join me as I walk you through the important lessons I’ve learned as I have shifted from a public school setting to a private Christian school setting.
