haha now we see the other extremist side.heyhey! said:thats a stupid way of thinking. Most people go (i know i do) to a private school because of the atmosphere - u dnt have to put up with kids going to jail, doing drugs, taking alky at school and teachers that give you the shits. Apart from all this, everything is way more organised and facilities are way better. Im not saying that public schools are bad - but for me, i think that the competition at a private school is *higher* than that at a public school, and so drives me to do better.
Ahh, thats my 2 cents.
How is it stupid? Well the bad kids drop out, problem solved, and there good to laugh at, because you know that they aren't going to go anywhere. The standard of teaching is the same everywhere, so why pay 100 times as much? Just because you go to a private scholl it doesnt mean you get a good UAI, its what you do, not because you go to some fancy school.heyhey! said:thats a stupid way of thinking.

i know it is, but i went to a state school, in 7 and 8 and i am now at a private school. Private schools give you so many opportunities. They get you involved in sport and other after school activites. When i went to a state school, the atmosphere was poor. Lots of people bludged school, i even bludged some days too. Private schools, force me to go to school and also i am now more motivated to do work and achieve my goals.Fruitcake05 said:I don't understand why some people pay $15000 a year to go to a private school............In the end it all comes down to what you put it in.......If you have the moeny why not spend it on tutors and books?
Murf said:yes i agree atmosphere and the facilities are much better, i also think that the support given from the teachers is MUCH greater towards the students and considering i have been to both schools at oppisite ends of the scale then thats mi opinion i think its the parents and students descision and right to have the choice on where to go or send there kids...

thats bullshit - heyhey didn't say anything about getting higher marks at a private school. and guys, look at the top 200 schools from last years hsc. How many public (excluding selective) made it in to say the top 100? Compare this number with the private school number..Fruitcake05 said:so why pay 100 times as much?

that is so true. at the end of the day if you are committed to getting a good result and are willing to work hard to achieve it, you will go well no matter where you go public or private. i no a lot of my friends just bludge through thinking that everything will be handed to them on a plate just because mummy and daddy can pay for it.. so yes i dont think it matters where you go, but how hard you are prepared to workZoltan said:people who do well at school will do well at almost any school.
