reading this topic alot and stereotyping and generalizations are common. why are you against private school people? because some are snobs, childish? are you doing the same thing? i have been private schooled most of my life and i have a lot of friends that are public schooled and no discrimination about it. one bad seed in a bag doesn't mean that all the seeds are bad

You can't honestly blame the students attending the school for being stuck up and arrogant about where they get their education. First of all, take into consideration the types of parents they might have. Is it really some kid's fault that their parents make them go to some school where there's automatic toilets and the average classroom size is 10 students? In most cases the answer is no. Parents want the best for their children (well, most of the time...) and if they have the money to afford the best, they'll deliver.

Now, even if it isn't the parents' fault (although, how many children really grow up wanting to go to a private school?) think about the policies and rules at the private school. Dress codes, no real freedom, and teachers who watch each student like a hawk watching its prey. I went to a private school from pre-school (Yes, they actually have private pre-schools) all the way to 6th grade until I told my parents that I wanted to go to a school where there was a larger community of people to associate with, and where I could actually see what real life was like. Real life isn't perfectly organized and a real school doesn't have 99% of the students getting straight A's. Real life is about learning from mistakes, and a real school's average is more like in the B range. The curriculum at a school usually influences on the students who attend it, and don't allow the students to lead their real goals.

All of that being said, are you still angry at the stuck-up kids who attend private schools and think they're better than everyone else, or do you now realize that instead of despising their arrogance that you should pity them for not being able to make their own decisions?

Indeed, you can't really generalize based on what school a person goes to. It's not really the student's choice; the parents are the ones paying for it, they decide. For awhile I too thought I hated private school people because I was jealous and didn't want to go to my crappy school, but when high school came around, many of my friends went off to private school. And they were still the same people.

(But I remained jealous)
