Public or Private school

[Jorah]

I've always just went to the local school quite near. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, ei - oh wait, it was. College is good though, although it's a Catholic college so they go on about religion sometimes.

My god Ryab I wanna be like you @_______@
I go to a private school {teh oldest running girls school in England fyi}. It's pretty samey to public but we have more rules and less hooligans.
I've been to both a public and private school so I can give a fair vote and say that private owns public ^^

Oh, I think my mum went to that school!

I've attended private schooling and so far, I like how it is smaller and you actually know everyone in the school. XD Since it's darn expensive it's hard for people to get in it resulting in smaller classes. There is only about 22 people in my grade! XD I love my school though. :3

That's crazily small! At my secondary school there were about 250 people in my year o.O

i go to public school.
its basically the same education, you just have to pay nothing.
but i think you forgot some, mainly home school.

I have been only to public schools so I have no comparison to make with private schools. I can say that my public education was very good because the school I attended was small. It had only about 444 students spread between grades six through twelve.

I go to a public school! It's not so bad; way better than being homeschooled, in my opinion. x__x;;; I get to hang with all my friends in school, and the teachers are really nice too! :3

The only problem I have is the lunches... bleh. << Annnnd maybe the principle. Even though she is sexist in my favor lol.

I go to the one you don't have to pay for.

That is, more than tax.

eta: well I'm at college now, but neither do I need to pay for that.

Oh, I think my mum went to that school!

Are you talking of the Red-wearing Maids? :3

 

[fade101]

Private is so much better than public we don't have to wear uniforms

I really hate my school. We have a cop that comes around and at lunch...he steals your food! And doesn't even say thank you!

I've been to both private and public schools. Overall, they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Private schools. From my experience all of the teachers are dedicated to their work. They want to be there for more than just "paying the bills". They care about their students, thus helping to promote education. This is not to say that all teachers at public schools only care about "paying the bills". I am just saying that there seem to be more undedicated teachers at public schools than private ones (trust me, I have had my share of lousy teachers).

I did not like the private school because it was home to a host of sheltered kids from wealthy families. I'll admit I was one of those kids but once I got into high school, things changed. I noticed how much more...variety there was. You have all of these different social groups, each with their own motives. This type of diversity is interesting, and it isn't something that you get out of a sheltered, private school.

So yes...I could elaborate further, but I think that public and private schools each have their own pros and cons. It's difficult to say that one is better than the other when we cannot define "better" in terms of how it applies to a school. Maybe "different" would be more accurate.

I went to public, and the answer is public. As much as I hated the hole in the ground, the people were incredibly stupid, it offered a half decent education and the social skills I developed from there were possibly more valuable then the education its self. Nothing wrong with Private schools, but eh.

I do have problems with Homeschooling and Online Virtual Schools, as I don't really feel they are effective and there's really a lack of social skills with them.

I attend private school. Save for the strict uniform code, they are surprisingly lenient with rules.

 

[Captain Blue]

I go to public school. The classes vary in difficulty. If you choose just the regular classes it's a cakewalk, but if you pick advanced placement classes, prepare to get bombarded with tough assignments.

 

[Snivi]

Public are all I know & I could never afford to pay for private school @@;;

 

[Lucy Lu]

I went through public school of all 12 years of education. Well I almost went to private school, but my parents backed out because they found out how much it will cost. XD

 

[Aizuke]

I've only been to public schools, and I've heard bad things a lot the private schools here.

I guess the only good things about private schools is that there are better resources for school and whatnot.

But most people I've heard or seen who've went to private school have.. turned out odd. XD

So public for me, I guess?

 

[Eternal Nightmare]

Public schools all the way. I could never attend a private school, too strict and to much cash to get in.

 

[Aurafire]

I've gone to public school my whole life...even now I go to a public college =P

I guess you'd probably get a better education/more discipline in private school. My parents actually were debating on whether to send me to private school halfway though high school O.O.....So glad they didn't.

 

[Confuse]

Went to a private school from 1st-6th grade, where there were no uniforms. Got to know my closest friends there.

Now I'm in a public school, and it's not my cup of tea.

So I'll say private, because of my friends.

 

[Ayano Katagiri]

I went to a public primary school and am now at a private secondary school. To be honest, I don't think there are too many differences between private and public schools, though people do say that private schools offer better education. It's certainly a bit more strict, with the uniform and standards but I personally don't think it's that much better; only in some areas.

 

[the bitter end.]

Neither, I'm home schooled XD It's okay so far, only been in it for 4-5 weeks so...
