I like privet schools. They get all of the rich obnoxious fuckers out of my school so they can go sniff their own farts without cluttering up my hallways. That being said though, I go to one of the top ranked public schools in my state and there are still plenty on rich obnoxious fucks in my hallways.

The private schools in my area do have many obnoxious kids but they are trying to get rid of them and to diversify

OK so here we go:
A) He did not mean it literally but he was just saying that there are a ton of Jews in NY and there are
B) The Jewish schools are looking for non-Jewish children
C) I do go to private school
D) "Learnt" is not a word

Obviously you have never been to Kentucky.

A,b,c: Stop embarrassing yourself. You clearly also have no reading comprehension. Read my post again. Try to actually understand what it is I said.

As for D, don't mess with the grammar nazi.

What is the difference between 'learnt' and 'learned'?

These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is more common in British English, and learned in American English. There are a number of verbs of this type (burn, dream, kneel, lean, leap, spell, spill, spoil etc.). They are all irregular verbs, and this is a part of their irregularity.

As a side note, if I'm the product of public school education, and these two are the product of private schools...

'Nuff said.

Glad to see your 'top ranked public school' is teaching you how to express yourself without resorting to the usual inate security of the great unwashed...that of using bad language and not being able to spell correctly.

Here in spain (I dunno if other countries also do, I think they do) there not only private and public schools but also there are like "Coordinate Schools" that is half private half public (the % can change) I went till 10th to this type of school is quite nice, maybe you can call it the private school that can joined everyone that pays it and because is not expensive as a private more people can afford it, in 11th i went to a public one and I can say that the biggest change i can see from this two, is the formality level in education some subject were better public and more of them was better the "coordinate"


By the way, whats the name of your school fruitcake??Im quite interested in this type of schools

[sailorseal]

Agreed everyone name their schools:

They take the ones with money, or for religious private schools (at least the Jewish ones), anybody who wants to go, who is Jewish (really good with scholarships)...

We don't have any Jewish schools within 100 miles of here, so I would not know. We do have Roman Catholic schools and the scholarships they offer are chances to get all your relatives and friends to buy stuff (groceries, etc.) from retailers who will give a percentage to the schools. Great for those with large families, not so much others.

Anyway, a Yeshiva (as I know the term, which is a traditional conservative religious school) would certainly fall in the realm of a "specialty school" that is NOT a need met by the public school system. You can hardly compare it to a general public education.

Here in spain (I dunno if other countries also do, I think they do) there not only private and public schools but also there are like "Coordinate Schools" that is half private half public (the % can change) I went till 10th to this type of school is quite nice, maybe you can call it the private school that can joined everyone that pays it and because is not expensive as a private more people can afford it, in 11th i went to a public one and I can say that the biggest change i can see from this two, is the formality level in education some subject were better public and more of them was better the "coordinate"

The closest to that here would either be charter schools (fully public schools that are allowed to specialize) or the fully private parent cooperative schools (exact methods vary, but parents help out with the school in exchange for a much reduced tuition ... parental involvement is usually not just about money, though, its also about being involved with the kids).

I have the unusual distinction of attending a comprehensive 11-12, a public school 12-16 (in the British sense of the word) and a grammar school 16-18. My mother also worked as an English teacher in the state system for thirty years. So I've certainly seen all sides of the coin.

Public School certainly had its advantages...small classes, well-educated teachers, fantastic facilites for both music and sport as well as a wonderful sense of history. However, I also remember at 12 the master of the lower school making a speech about how we were the offspring of the governing classes, what was expected of us etc etc... I remember feeling slightly nauseated even at the time. Almost all went to the city at 21 to make as much money as they possibly could, of course.

About 5% of British kids don't attend a state school and I would think about 2% actually attended a 'real' public school. In the sense that it sets you apart, this is a benefit not to be underestimated in the UK. However, the system does produce a lot of 'Hooray Henry' types. Arrogance, a sense of entitlement, a certain willingness to label others 'plebs' and such like doesn't appeal much to me beyond the odd joke between friends.

The British celebrate their class system. Americans like to pretend we don't really have one, but in many ways there is not that much differance in this.

I like privet schools.

[CrazyAnglican]

I'm certainly not rich. For my kids we've selected a private school for my eldest. She began there and loves it (although she's hating the homework load at the moment). We pay for her to go to a school that she likes and experience the best education she can. My son went to the same private school for one year, and they were completely unprepared for him. He had the same K-4 teacher that my daughter had, she's a dynamite teacher, but his challenges made him less than an ideal fit for the school. We've started him in the public school system in which I'm employed, and he's doing great. He gets a much different experience than my daughter does, but it's the right fit for him. In our case it's the public school system that has the better funding, and as such we think that he's getting the best education that we can provide for him as well. The private school is just set up to work well for kids who will sit in their desks and soak up knowledge. That's not everyobdy; my son has to get in and mess things up, so he can understand them and put them back together.

I'd be cautious of the "unfair advantage" line of reasoning because some private schools are certainly better than some public schools (and vice versa), but if you are looking at standards and test scores you'd do well to remember two things:

1) A public school does not choose its student population at all. Think of that in terms of running a factory without having any control over the materials with which you will be working. A private school does have the right to reject any child for any legal reason.

2) By and large the single best determining factor (aside from the teacher in the classroom) is the expectations of parents that students will succeed. I've had rich kids whose parents couldn't be bothered or show up for a meeting. That sent a clear message to their kid that school wasn't important. I've also had economically disadvantaged kids whose parents would be up to school in a heartbeat if they got an "F" on an assignment. Predictably the rich kid did poorly, and the poor kid excelled. Private schools have an advantage here too because paying a tution check every month reinforces that you are the customer and the school has a responsibility to provide a quality product. Basically if a parent is paying for their child's education then the liklihood will be that the child is coming from a family in which education is considered to be important.

Yeah, Iz Man, excellent post... wherever it is...

Why do you say that? I have a terrible memory and I did better in private high school than I did in public middle school.

I agree privates are almost always the superior option for anyone

Wish I lived in your district...

My son gets in trouble if he wiggles too much in his seat (disruptive), stares out a window (disrespectful, even if he can answer everything the teacher is saying). We wondered why he scored so much better on books he read at hom (2-3 times as difficult as the ones at school)... turns out he was not even reading them! and the teacher never noticed.

Reminds me of my elementary school.

I was kicked out after the 4th grade. I don't have a problem with private schools, but certain types of people just aren't made for them.
