catholic/private schools?


Question Posted Friday September 7 2007, 2:54 pm

15/f

im a freshman in a secondary school. i've been going to public schools my whole life and now recently i am thinking about going to a catholic school. there is so much drama at my school and everyone there is so immature and the guys are really into the slutty girls and i am getting sick of it.

is catholic school really as bad as the people there say it is? is there a lot of drama? what are the guys like there? anyone who has been there can you please give me some background info on it; or if you've been to both public and private schools which one did you like better?

I've been to both. I went to a Catholic school for the first nine years, all through grade school, and then public for high school. I think it really depends on what school you go to that'll determine how bad the school is.

I went to two different Catholic schools. The first one I went to until going into fourth grade was a lot better than the one I went to after, because it was really small and people weren't rich and stuck up like they were at the other school I went to. All the girls in my class were friends, because there was only like 17 kids total, but then again, that was like third grade, but there was enough drama.

The second school I went to was from fourth grade to eigth. Everyone there lived in at least half-million dollar houses and if they lost an ipod, you'd get another the next day. That part really annoyed me. There were two, maybe three cliques. My group of friends got along with one, but didn't with the others. We didn't have drama with them, we just went our sperate ways.
Honestly, I have like no drama in my life compared to other people I know. Maybe it's just the fact that I got really lucky and chose good friends, but whatever the case, it depends on who you are/who you're friends with. The only really big drama I had in my life was going into high school, which pretty much cost me two of my best friends, but that also had a lot to do with going to different schools.
The guys at my private school. There were a few assholes. But, there always will be. Some were alright. I don't think there's a huge difference there.

Now I go to a public school, and this is my second year. One of my really good friends has wayyy more drama than I can even imagine between her and her friends, and she's gone to a public school her entire life. At public school, the students have a lot less respect for teachers, that's for sure. But I don't think private schools are like ridiculous with strictness. Grade school kind of was, I mean, we could'nt highlight our hair, paint our nails, wear make up and other retarded things like that. But high school is much different and laid back.

Anyways, try finding out about the school you're going to. All high schools are different, even if they're both private or both public. You get all kinds of people. Maybe you could shadow there. I thought I wanted to go to a Catholic high school, but the one I really wanted to go to was full of sluts (literally like three that weren't). Most schools should let you shadow.
Honestly, I don't know which I like better. Both have their pro's and con's. But, like I said, it depends on what type of people go there, so I highly reccommend finding that out. Good luck!

i have been to both.
first off i went to a catholic school for 6 years then my dad lost his job so the tuition was raised and we could no longer afford it.
so we transferrred into public school.
i think public school was the best decision of my life. we had the option of staying there tuition free, but my mom thought of it as a charity act, so we just went to public school. public school is fun,easier,cooler people,pretty laid back.
private school was way too strict and expensive. its not really worth the money. i mean you learn the same stuff in public school but they add a class of religion.
why bother spending thousands per month when you can get the education now for free?!

i hope you stay in public school.

I certainly will.

you think drama at public school's bad?

a catholic school not only consists of 100% girls, but snobby ones at that. you can expect being backtalked about how you did your hair today, being backtalked about how you walk, and even about this question.

also, catholic schools to me, seem a lot more clicky, in other terms, if you didn't grow up with them, your not one of them.

public schools are more laid back, and guys wise, we're not all bad, you've just probably been looking in the wrong direction.
