Get the Private School mug.An institution that is usually meant to be mono-sex (or boys only/ girls only) and is rarely Coed. Most are established on the Main Line (Pennsylvania, New York up to New England) or on the west coast (California only). Private Schools or Prep Schools are establishments started in the 1910s and have a "college" setting. Sometimes students board there and sometimes the school is run like a public school. The attendants come from families with a bit (quite a bit) more money then other families, except in the case of the occasional well-spoken scholarship boy. Instead of being forced to believe in unified ideas and socialist ideas (brought up by friends of mine who go to public school) they are 'encouraged' or 'forced' to come up with their own ideas about how the world should work. In this way the school will produce leaders, CEO's, and Wall Street stock analysts that will make between $450,000-$2,500,000 per year or highly paid surgeons and consultants that make $250-$700 an hour.
The kids attend Ivy League schools and in this way the private or prep school can claim success that they can advertise to the wealthy folk, who probably attended private/prep schools themselves. The children who attend these institutions are not always stuck up (in fact at my school VERY few are).
Pros:
-Small classes (between 10-25 kids divided into 2 homerooms)
-"New" educational ideas that promote self-acting
-Prestige when applying for colleges and jobs
-AP courses that allow up to 2 years worth of college
courses to be accumulated in senior year
-Less violence
Cons:
-Not usually Coed
-Separation from the unwashed masses that the kids will have
to deal with when they have big powerful administrative
jobs

Dean: "So I'd like to start this application for our college
with an interview, so please tell me about yourself."
The Private School / Prep School Student's Response:
"Well I attended a Prep School from 6th-12th grade, scoring a 3.50+ GPA each year, and a 2360 on the SAT."
Dean: "Alright then, lets get these forms filled out..."

Get the Private school mug.Let’s see well let’s start off with Omega private academy is a trashy private school costing $11,000 a year to go to. Everything you learn is below standards and complete shit like learning about Alexander grahm bell for 3 months and not even reinforcing it. What the hell how are you supposed to get into a good school after going to this hell hole. The school hours are way shorter and no fridays which I guess is ok but it just reinforces the fact that YOU DONT LEARN A GOD DAMN THING.
