I attended Jesuit schools all the way up to college. That sucked because my elementary and high schools wouldnt provide any extra support services for me due to not recieving federal funding. They said that if I wanted to get some support services such as assistance with my vocabulary or assignments, I would have to walk across the street to a building in order to meet a public school teacher to get these services. I was humiliated when I had to leave the campus to go to this building with all students staring at me outside windows. Needless to say, I never went back. I refused to swallow my pride and rejected the services.
Thus I was all on my own all these years. I dont know if it has gotten any better lately but that was my experience. I often wonder what would have happened if I attended public schools and get much more tailored support services to meet my own needs. I finally got support services and had to learn ASL real quickly in order to use them in college.
