If you had a choice between public and private schools...?

Your mother informs you that an elite, prestigious private school has recognized your intelligence and has offered you a spot there. The school contains a large swimming pool, a golf course, a roller coaster, and some of the most famous intellectuals serving as professors. The public school is more simple, with some good people and dedicated teachers. Which would you choose?

Private school is obviously a better choice. You get better food, better education, and better sports program.yian

Ok, I rephrase that. Public school has better food and better education.

Private, as long as it didn't cost a lot.GettingTired

That doesn't exist.

I got all my education at a very prestigious private school, with a large swimming pool; but the golf course was outside the school and it had and has the most famous intellectals sering as professors.

not even a doubt in my mind that i would choose the public school. my friend goes to a nice private school in my area, he really likes it, he said the classes are small, like he said there are a total of 50 seniors in his school. idk that just doesn't really appeal to me. hockey73

Publice school definitely. Private School kids are always preppy ****. I'm in my final year at a Public high school, with a Private high school right next door; Last year only two kids from the privateschool received an OP 1 (highest rating possible where I am) and one student from my school got that, considering we're paying about $6000 a year less for our education that is pretty damn good.

Lots of rivalry between our two schools, we pwn them hardcore when it comes to sports, we came 4th in the state in rugby union (I played 2nd rower 8)) whereas they didn't even make it into the state series for example.

Definitely public...I actually went to a private school and well, look how I turned out...:(

From what you described, who wouldnt want the private school?

Our son wont be born until October, but we have already started a seperate savings account to make sure he will be attending private school.

Eh, public. I went to private school because my neighberhood was located in a bad town. Even though I was in private, everyone was like zombies. Didn't like it to much.

We care not for roller coasters, golf courses, swimming pools and/or prestigious tutors of the highest calibur

public schools got the diversity you see

because I have a quality of superior intelligence as you've described in this scenario... I would insist on attending both.

Private if you can afford it.

Public school learn how to deal with everday people (it is the best skill you can have).

Private without a doubt

Public school hands down.

Private school, assuming it provides better education. People tend to forget the primary purpose of a school.GhoX

Public school. I went to a private one for grades Pre-8 and while I made some friends there, I much prefer public school. Especially since it was a religous school they left out a lot of stuff when teaching things like science and history. I had to learn all that stuff on my own.

public because it is free
