I'm going to break it to you gently... public high school has little resemblence to the real world. Very, very, little. If you are in the work force and it does resemble high school you need to get a new job or peers.

What's the big deal? Are you just sore towards private schools because you didn't get to go to one?

I don't know what it's like elsewhere, but in Malaysia private schools are usually better than public ones, in terms of student class, facilities, quality of teaching and results. I was in a private school for 3 years, then switched to public, then back to private. I never got around to asking my mother why. Public school students tend to regard private school students as snooty, but honestly, they're as down-to-earth as anyone else. Just because they're richer and have more expensive hobbies (to talk about), that doesn't really put them on a pedestal above everyone else. I've learned that this sort of mentality is everywhere, especially among girls' schools. When I was in a convent we used to point at all the other convents and criticise their girls for being stuck-up and all, and those girls did the same to us. +__+

You can't deny that private schools generally have better education, though. And with all those facilities available to students.... well! I'm not saying that there aren't good public schools though. There are some.

The only think I have against private schools is that, they should not get government funding.

Like, I think I have mentioned above, I went to a public school, that treated us like we were in a private school, and I'm sure there are many others out there. But there are also some pretty run down and dodgy public schools. Being in a public school, I also know what it's like to be told, sorry can't do that, don't have enough money.



When it comes down to the better education, it has nothing to do with public or private. It comes down to the student and the discipline the school has imo.

i think they both have their goods and bads i could give some reasons why

public: BEAT DOWNS! ugh i hate those; snobs(no offense) who think they're better but they got grades like goats(f's); cool teachers; easy home work.

private: no beat downs; boring teachers; tough homework;school uniforms(NOOOOOOO!!!); total nerds(no offense again)who think they're better(but they can prove it to so...);tough homework; considered afterschool tutoring.
i have some more reasons i just dont feel like telling...sorry

There seems to be a bit of a misconception here. Speaking from experience, not all private school kids come from families with mountains of money. My parents struggled to pay for my education, and I know of some students who paid their own way. As for the "real world", I'm with Arrianna; if you think your high school experience is an indication of how things are in the real world, you're in for a very big surprise.

lol, public schools are nothing like the real world! trust me - i've been through both, school is nothing compared to the real world imo.

And yes, I agree, not all those who go to private schools comes from rich families, I know families who struggled just to keep their children in a private school.

it is interesting how people like one type of school rather than be a neutral and not care about what type of school that you attend.but then again that is the point of the topic isn't it?still....i know that there are advantages and disadvantages to both types of school and to me there is no type that is 'better'.

I went to private school in Jamaica. It was okay but they hit us. I like public school more but it all depends on where you live and if you like order or not.
