how so?

Private schools here at least, charge a fortune to attend their schools. Good teachers, good supplies, good education, "Good kids"....

At least that's what I hear. Unless that's the propaganda people...

That charge is *because* of said lack of funding.

But like Nero said, don't private school kids behave better than public schoolers...supposedly?

Not usually.

That's why I put it in quotations.

See, now, two reasons:

1) usually they're rich, which means they appear to be good kids, but are really stuck up, selfish and foolish kids, naive and babied by their parents. Usually. Rarely will there be

A) Someone at the private school not rich.

B) Thus, even rarely that they won't be stuck up, selfish and naive.

2) Also, think of it as like a Catholic school; said school puts a lot more restrictions than public, I believe that private ones put even more on. So then they can't release all the adolescence energy. They are conformed. Or attempted to be. If they are conformed, they'll usually go out with a bang. Either way; either conformed, or wild.

So really, parents think that putting kids in private schools help their innocence. Really it just slows it down and makes it worse.

That's my point of view at least.

*Sigh* and you say all this because you have first hand expeirnce of private schools? ^o)

Yes. :P

Most of it is true, ( I know several people from private schools. Some are friends, some are....well) and admittedly some are stereotypical ideals. But mind you I've got some right on the dot....I think.

Newsflash: being rich enough to go to a private school does not automatically make someone stuck up, selfish, foolish, naive and babied. Sure, you get the odd one like that, but you get irritating asshats at any school.
Funnily enough, most people going to private schools have enough money to go because their family worked really really hard to get to that point. (I'm not saying hard work is all it takes by any means - intelligence and luck are also important - but the perception that everyone who goes to a private school is there because their family is a member of some sort of aristocracy with ridiculous amounts of inherited money and never worked hard or had any sort of connection with reality is daft.)

sent's right. it costs about £40,000-45,000 per year for my sister and i to go to this school. the army helps out but that is still about 3/4 of what my parents make. it means we have to go without a sh!t load of stuff that other kids have. tbh ive found its the scholarship pupils who are stuck up.

I went to a Catholic private school for a long time.

No one there was rich, and none of us were really snooty.

And maybe, parents put their children in private schools because they love them and want them to haveget a good education and moral compass.

That might also be the reason why some kids are home-schooled.

I went to a Catholic private school too...well, not really, because it was only for religious education, one day a week. ><

Lolz, poor Nero. It seems half the forum goes to or went to a private school...

I've only gone to a public school.

Which is taken over my life.

no actually, i didnt know the two of you were on them :p, if i did i forgot about it.

Same here Ianna.
Went to one Elementary school, one middle school, and so far one high school.

Taken over your life?

She's complaining about the schoolwork load.

About the religious education classes...they were mostly full of public schoolers too, and the classes only last about an hour and a half. So other than that, I've been a public schooler my whole life as well.

*goes to school to complain about homework load too*

I have never been to private school either. Wonder what its like... *wondering....*

homework should burn :)
