Sigh. Private all the way...I went to shit public school and I can honestly say I enjoy and feel more involved in a Private school than any other...sure there is the beurocratic nature of it and some people who are up themselves, but you don't ever escape that where-ever you go.

I started and finished in public, and overall I'm pretty happy with the outcome. But if I had my choice again, I would of gone private.

Well I had the choice between public and catholic private. Chose private.

Dunno the whole blazer/shirt uniform intrigued me (coming from a country where we don't have school uniforms) also Private School was CHEAPER than Public because at the time we were on a temporary Visa (Permanent now). So in the end we'd have paid more for public than private.

christ catholic college clare campus?
haha or something like that?
ummm i didnt think ccc was private.. just catholic? i dont think there r any private schools only yr 7-10..
i also thought that smshs was run kinda like uni.. how u dont wear a uniform and only have to show up to classes.. so u can leave during the day? well thats what i got from what one of my friends told me about it.. i think that would just have better students and atmosphere cuz of that lol

In the end, it is the quality of the student. I don't think you can classify public and private schools according to the stereotypes assigned to them, of which a few are the basis of these stereotypes.

It depends on the school itself, how well it's run, the quality of it's teachers and so on. You can't make a generalisation about this.

If I had kids, I wouldn't send them to a private school just on principle :p

No offense to any private school people, but it seems to me that a lot (not all, but a lot) of students think that they are somehow 'better' than others just because their parents have more money. :confused:

And also, the top schools for HSC results in NSW are all public :D

GO SELECTIVE SCHOOLS! :p

Just a quick thought/question. Selective government schools. They are almost as elitist as "private schools" are they not??
