cookierat123 answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:58 pm: lol, im going into the eighth grade too but ive always gone to a public school. look, a public school isnt that diffrent except
1.you dont have uniforms
2.the teachers anrt as...formal i guess you could say
3.some schools may be alittle bit more rough.
look, just be yourself and dont try to fit in.
be friendly to everyone and dont start rumers..you'll do just fine.

((im assuming you are a girl! sorry if youre not!)) well ive been going to a private school since 4th grade and before then i went to public and all my friends go 2 public schools 2 and there really is no difference other than that private schools are more formal and usually more strict and proper and all that! but public school isnt that bad... theres so many different kinds of people theres always a group to fit in with... youll actually probably like it a lot better... dont sweat youll be fine!! good luck!!

SilentHelper answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:27 pm: I used to go to a private school and had to switch to public school for middle school. I felt nervous and had questions as well. The only real difference is that when you go to public school, you get lots of attention because you used to be in private school. However, that will be useful in making friends. You will have to follow different rules, of course, but overall school is school, and it will be easy to adapt. Happy schooling!

karenR answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:12 pm: In private schools the students seem to be a little snootier than in public schools. I'm gonna guess you aren't the snooty type. So, you should fit in a lot better at public school. I think you will enjoy it much better. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
