If you had the choice would you go private?

[clarissa !!]

yeah less skanks at private schools.

nah i'm not ashamed of my background and it's what made me what i am today, which i wouldn't change.

[Immenseman]

im not ashamed of my background either and i'm proud and stuff but it'd be a right lol to go private i could find other s**** ;l

I did have a choice. I chose public school.

I voted no but I'm on the verge of no opinion because if I'm honest, I don't really know what the difference is. The only thing I have to go on is that private is full of posh kids, but I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to just be a stereotype.

If I look at it from the perspective of the education I had; in primary school I would say I was definitely one of the brighter kids (and now that I think about it, that was full of posh kids anyway lmao), but in secondary school I was pretty average (laziness is no doubt the villain lol). I'm guessing a private school would be a whole step higher which would probably make me one of the lower achievers so I'm happy with the schools I went to.

Btw, I'm sure the thread has got private vs public backwards? ..Or maybe it's just me .

There are many schools in Peterborough, and if I hadn't got into the one I did (6th best in country) my parents would have paid anything to keep me out of the other **** schools around here, I would say 100% of the sudents have a family income above the national average and most are quite rich They are very social and spend tonnes on nights out!

Was this for the benefit of anyone here, or did you just post to brag?

It's people like that which repel me from the private schools here. I am in just as good a school as you if not better without paying. I'm not being rude and you are lucky to have been brought up like that but there is no need to brag.. What are your GCSE results looking like and what is your school GCSE and A level pass rate please !

Personally I think prive it just stupid. Education is supposed to be free in this country, but some people are happy with that, they have to spend money, my mate used to go private, she said it was full of s****. So I never will. And I won't send my kids to a private school. And my brother has been predicted to get straight A's and he's been to a normal school all his life, I don't care if I don't get an amazing mark at Maths because the job I want isn't majorly concentrated on Maths, I just want a C in maths and an A in English and a couple of others, but not really discussed that. No big deal about private school.

its funny, most of the druggies in my town are from the grammar school and

same.

i wouldn't go private because 1, my school was better than some private schools and 2, when you get to a-levels, it's about how much time and effort you put into understanding your subjects.
