Going to to public school after being in private school... how bad will it be?


Question Posted Wednesday October 19 2011, 1:23 am

Im 15 in 10th grade and ive gone to a private school my whole life but I will be going to a public school in 2 weeks. Im scared but i really want to go to a public school (the main reason im leaving is cuz of bullying.)Is there anything that I should know about changing schools mid year? How different is private from public? All my friends that have switched to public school have all said that they loved it but idk. Im mexican and not a lot of mexicans go to the school im going to and they are all mormon but im catholic so I dont know if I will be treated very differently? please help

Hello I would just like to say that I do online public school and I love it (it is ohio virtual academy and you get all of the materials for free and I mean everything the only thing you have to buy are the next rounds of ink and printer paper). Before I was homeschooled I went to a catholic school which I also liked. I was very scared and nervous about the switch but the transaction to me was fine. Back to your story Private school cares about you and you grades and try to help you any way they can but thee are alot of mean people there too. In public school there are alot of mean people and the teachers don't really care and they really dont have any rules so you can basically do what you want to do but if you go to far you WILL get into trouble.

Hope I helped and if you need any more questions answered please ask me and I will try to help you the best way that I can.
GOOD LUCK :D

I've experienced private and public school so I might be a bit of help. I went to private school from 2nd to 8th grade and it was a very disciplined school. Homework ahd to be done and there was no nonsense tolerated or you would be punished. My school use to giv eout discipline slips, so if you were to misbehave you got one and if you got either two or three you got a detention. Homework was the same thing if you were missing homework you got a homework slip. If you got three you go a detention. Private school, there were bullies and it was tough. There was that group of girls that always liked to pick at everyone. I felt private school was a lot about the catholic religion and also disciplined very well.
After graduating 8th grade I went on to high school which was a public high school. Public school was entirely different from private. Public school I found that there were really no rules, it was rather up to you to get the work done and no one was going to chase you. There was no such thing as detention and there wasn't much discipline. My first class I had at the public school a student told the teacher to shut up and the teacher didn't do anything. I found there was much more free speech in the public school than there was in a private school.
The thing is, is you're always going to find a bully anywhere you go unfortunately. Unfortunately I've had many throughout my life even at places I've worked. Keep your head up and don't let people push you aroudndand if they do ignore them. Good luck at your new school and I hope you ahev a great semester!
