School stereotypes
I think there's a lot of misunderstanding between schools these days. I went to a comprehensive school from year 7 - 9, and they stereotyped Grammar school kids as nerdy and boring people who'll grow up to be accountants and computer engineers. I'm now in an all boys Grammar school, and they all stereotype the comprehensive school kids as stupid and violent. In both the comp and grammar school I've been to, they all stereotype Private/Public school kids as arrogant and rich students, who pay their way through education.
From my own experience of being to 2 of the different types of school, I know none of this is true. Yes, there are some stupid and violent kids in some comps, and some boring nerds in my Grammar school, but that's a tiny majority.
Have any of you also had an experience like that? What's your opinion?
I made a Poll to see the numbers too.

I dont believe that, a school is a school at the end of the day.
They don't think your rough/violent because you used to go to a Comprehensive School do they?
Its just how they see the school not the actual people inside, its hard for a school to get rid of a reputation once it has it - espically a Comprehensive School.

i went to a public school.

I went to a comprehensive school and btw to some who may be confused a public school is a school where you have to pay to go, not public as in for anyone in the general public LOL!

I go to a private school and yeah there are some posh kids but they're form down south, everybody who's a northerner is nowhere near posh.
However there are some arrogant people

My cousins go to public schools - they're not rich. I could have gone, but I didn't want to. They're really chavvy... so.. :-P

I just went to a good old public school.

I go to a mixed grammar school :) Couldn't survive without girls lol
-
I go to a Mixed Comprehensive. :D

Mixed comp. Nothing wrong with it, parents pay tax so I dont see the point in paying more for private and I dont like grammar schools, atleast in mixed you get to intergrate and talk to girls etc.
