Totally agree.haha lulabelle, im with u.. im thoroughly amused by this as well...
while alot of parents struggle and work very hard to get their kidsinto private schools, a large majority are quite wealthy...
which tends to result in kids who are apathetic towards study because of their financial security.
[of course, im generalizing..]
Why you fail to understand is because you've never had the experience. Why do you think just the name of school elicits such a response? Because they have certain reputations for being just that, 'fancy.'I personally have never been to a private skool but what i fail to undertsand is why parents would pay for their kids to get into a private skool when a public skool which is equal if not better in regards to teaching , results etc is almost a quarter of the price. Its almost like a staus thing. their like yeah my kid goes to "where ever" and people listeneing to them brag are like "oooh really..how fancy!"
ok so private skools may have better facilities but thats coz they pay like $2000 dollars each year.
Yet another perfectly pertinent point ruined by a lack of grammar and a poor concluding statement.but there is always going to be this debate about private VS public skools and no one is eva going to come to an answer coz everyone is so bias towards thier own skool. i mean lets face it. if ur private ull say private is better if ur public ull say publixc is better no matter how u try to justify. Unless of course u go to skool in a bin then in that case...
Fuck, it's hilarious how non-religious guys go to religious schools.$2000 a YEAR?! where is this school and where can i enroll?!?! my dear, private schools cost more like $20, 000 a year. yes. twenty thousand not two thousand.
Catholic schools (i know this, i attend one) cost approximately up to $5000 a year (senior year) for an average catholic school. for an upper class catholic school expect to pay up to $20 000 (senior year). if you compare two similar upper class schools, one catholic and one private, the catholic one will cost about $4000 less. My guess is that the catholic church is subsidising education costs. The roman catholic church is not the richest religion on the face of this earth for nothing.
Well i've never attended a public school, i've always attended catholic schools and i find the sense of community in a catholic school to be somewhat soothing. At times it gets annoying, but sometimes its nice to know that there's someone there for you at school. I cant really make alot of judgements about public Vs. private/catholic but because i've been attending saturday school since year 9 i can safely say that catholic schools/private schools have better school buildings and facilities.
I'm deffs going to send my kid to a catholic school - not because i'm catholic but because i really appreciate the pastoral care as well as acedemic focus. It makes a good balance, it also has to do with the people who attend as well =] i know alot of my teachers are glad to be teaching in a catholic school especially if they've taught in a public school before. Stuff about students being more respectful, less disruptive, more motivated etc. not to mention the extra resources.
thats bullcrap!I think u get a much better education at public schools because the teachers do care and set up extra lessons and do a lot of extra work when they really dont need to. Public schools all the way
Thats a horrible thing to say.There aren't the same pressures that a student in a public school may face if they're trying to break out of the poverty cycle.
I think this kind of thing is far more dependent on the teachers as individuals, rather than the school in which they teach.thats bullcrap!
we get extra lessons & teachers do extra work at my school.
i go to a catholic school btw
yeah thats trueI think this kind of thing is far more dependent on the teachers as individuals, rather than the school in which they teach.
My school's ~ $2000 - $3000 a year, and most catholic schools are.$2000 a YEAR?! where is this school and where can i enroll?!?! my dear, private schools cost more like $20, 000 a year. yes. twenty thousand not two thousand.

True, although at my school it's policy that teachers who teach the top maths class dedicate time for extra lessons for accelerated students.Thats a horrible thing to say.

do they get paid for that extra time?My school's ~ $2000 - $3000 a year, and most catholic schools are.

Horrible in which way?Thats a horrible thing to say.
I know not a single catholic school with such low fees. I'm honestly amazed they exist.My school's ~ $2000 - $3000 a year, and most catholic schools are.
well i go to a catholic school which costs that much and there are countless catholic schools i know that cost that amount aswell.I know not a single catholic school with such low fees. I'm honestly amazed they exist.
The association of public schooling with the poverty cycle if horrible. You make it sound as if those who are not struggling for such reasons are the minority, though you may not have intended it so.Horrible in which way?
I know a number of public school students who are working incredibly hard so as to have the chance to offer their children the opportunities they themselves were never provided with. It's a perfectly valid point.
I understand that not all students would be encountering this same experience, hence my use of the word may.
lol to be honest i dont know any catholic schools that cost MORE than that amount. However, there are many "private"schools that demand that price.really? i dont know that many catholic schools that cost that little. maybe in junior years, but deffs not in senior years.
no mine does.really? i dont know that many catholic schools that cost that little. maybe in junior years, but deffs not in senior years.

According to my teacher, they don't. But they get time off from other stuff like lunch duty, so some teachers opt to hold lessons during lunch and their free periods.do they get paid for that extra time?
same.my school is systematic catholic & i pay max. $2000.
