A question

In what ways can a classroom be like a family or should I not go there?

Umm. I have no idea. Where were you going with this?

Well, the teacher person is the "head of household", sort of a one-parent family. And your peers are all your siblings. You like some of them, others not-so-much. You start out kind of not knowing whats going on but by the end of the term you understand how things work and either meet or not the expectations set before you. You form a group culture that does not neccesarily hold up outside the group. In a family, you start out not knowing anything, but eventually understand how things are run and you either go with it or rebel (do you homework or not) and while you get along great when its just the family, throw you all out in public and you want your mom to drop you off down the street so no one sees you with her. In both situations, you share experiences and learn to rely on each other. Sometimes you laugh together, sometimes you stress over important events (finals). Okay, thats all I've got.
