I went to a public high school and I also missed out on all those things. It sounds like you got an equivalent education!

We often mistakenly think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I suggest to you that in the alternate history, with you in a public school, you also would not have had girlfriends. I sure didn't have any, despite being tall and slightly athletic.

The same goes for being able to filter words to not cause offense. One time, that got me fired! My public school education served me just as well as your education served you.
