A form of education that, rather then provided by the federal government, is privately directed and must be paid for. Although the majority of the kids that go to these schools are white and relatively well off there is a large group of private school students who sacrific many luxeries to have a private education. Contrary to popular beleif, most of the kids who go to these schools are hardworking, inteligent, thoughtful, kind, and caring kids. All the schools are not all mono-sex, in fact most of them are not. They are not only for the rich and preppy. These schools are for kids that would like to have an education molded for them personally by a small group of inteligent people, rather then the government of The United States. So, please, rather then jump to conclusions about the kids and the schools actually find out about the places and we private school kids will do the same for public school.
Public school kid: O, private school are filled with preps and rich kids kids who never have to work for anything.
Private school kid: Public school is for people from the ghetto. None of them can complete a full sentence.
Me: Cant we all just... get along?

Those who think private school kids are all rich, snobby, white kids with everything handed to them on a platter are wrong. My school is more diverse than the public school that i would go to. There are always exceptions, but I actually have to WORK to be there. My family has sacrificed a lot so that I could go to my a school.The big difference between my school and the public school is that it has a good art program.
Public kid: "Ugh! she goes to a private school she must be extremely rich and snobby"
Private kid's friend: "Umm...actually... she is less stuck up than you are, and has less money too.She works on weekends to help pay for her school's fees."

A school in which kids pay to attend. Contrary to popular or incorrect belief, the kids that go there are not all preps or rich kids that buy their way through life and get everything they want. Not all of them have mansions or are snobby assholes. A good majority of them are friendly, down to earth people. The good thing about the environment they see everyday in school is that it doesn't give them the tendency to yell swears in public and have no consideration for others.
The kids that go there know what its like to not have a lot of money. Sometimes the school facilities are pretty outdated and lousy. Their parents do not have that much money, but they know that the tuition for private school is so worth making their kids into decent people.
Kids that go to these schools speak and type with proper grammar: they sound intelligible. They don't write sentences like this: "i don give a fck what you thnk cuz your such a faggot."
A lot of times they can carry a decent conversation. They have good arguments for ideas and issues, and actually know what important ideas and issues are.

Recently I went to a public event down the street and there were so many idiots and jerks there, that I could have bet a lot of money they hadn't ever gone to a private school.

for all you people out there who think that private schools are full of pompus, snobby, rich, 'Fuck-ups'. your wrong and don't dare say that us public/private school students are blinkered and norrow minded because everybody who says this is narrow minded them selves!
and for you information there are 2 asian people, 2 black people and 3 chinese people in my class so no, private school is not racially un aceptive.
and so maybe i am a pretty boy but if you knew me instead of just looking at me just as if you got to know the rest of my 'snobby,stuck up' freinds you would be surprised!

people are often very apprehensive to judge people who go to public schools
eg: state school pupil .."hey look at that pompus pratt over there, he definately goes 2 a private school"
private school boy.."hey look over there some people that don't even know us as people!"

A private school is a system which creates a two tier standard of education which perpetuates the gulf between the have and have nots.
Private schools are meant to promote choice, choice for whom? The wealthy few and the token scholarship students who end up being excluded by the snobby rich kids and developing inferiority complex.
I doubt very much whether private school kids have gone through the same experiences as comprehensive school kids. Do private school kids have to worry about money and whether they can afford to go to uni? No because daddy can pay for all that and even use their contacts to get them into the top jobs. Or to put it another way, at the very least they have one less major headache to worry about. Their biggest problem in life is probably being able to navigate their way from the west wing of their mansion to their east wing.
Despite a greater emphasis placed upon equality by the government, the old school tie network is still very much alive and kicking, which creates a cycle which repeats itself from generation to generation. Rather than equality, meritocracy, and greater opportunities for all, private school stand for inequality and benefiting the select few who were fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family.

Just ask yourself one question?
Why do so many people go from top private school's to top universities and eventually into top jobs rather than working there way to the top? Is it because private school's offer a better standard of education? or is it the ability of rich parents to buy their kids education through the amount of money they spend, thus making damn sure there getting a return.

A school which rich kids attend who dont understand the value of money and which daddy gives everything to them on a plate and who believe they are intellectually superior to anybody else.
People who attend private schools are unlikely to come across many ethnic minorities or persons of a lower social class either at school or from the area they live in.
Tend to get ahead in life because of the family they were born into and life chances rather than because of merit.

employer: which school did you go to?
employee: I went to a top private school?
employer: your hired.

private school is not a place for rich white snobs, although some private schools are filled with those, most of them are not. Actually, I go to a private high school and there are 300 kids in my class. about 75 are hispanic, 150 are white, 25 are asian and the rest are mixed. its not for preppy snobs either, i live in a one story house, not in the suburbs with a normal family and parents who work full time and many days aren't home for dinner because they are working their asses off to pay for my tuition. none of my friends at school have a mansion, okay maybe a couple have two story houses but most of them are average to small size one story houses. no, my parents dont hand me money, i have to work my ass off to get money, by mowing the lawn and shit. okay and for all of you saying private school kids dont go through the same experiences are misinformed. there are alot of disfunctional families at private schools and i know quite a few drug addicts (meth, coke, heroin, you name it). theres really not much difference between private and public except that the private school people pay for their education.
oh and alot of people smoke weed :)
were not completely sheltered from the outside world , ok?
(oh and btw i have a lot of public school friends and they are the same as my private school friends, theres really no difference)
