so yeah, i put my kid in a private Christian school

Because I'm more afraid of public middle schools than the Jesus heal me factor.

Anyone in the same boat?

Nah, my kid doesn't get punked at school, he does the punking.


jk.

[jeebus]

I've heard of a lot of people doing that then moving them into a public high school. Middle schools are so fucking shitty nowadays.

[HI-FI]

i have no problem with the Jesus factor. I suppose as long as its better option then go for it. I always wish I went to a private school, they seem more flexible, less like a prison. My high school wasn't horrible but my junior high was straight ghetto shit. Never seen so many fights.

[leemajors]

if you can afford it, great.

[benefactor]

My daughter has been in one since she started middle school and will be a freshman there this year. She really likes it and has no desire to go to public school. The atmosphere is actually pretty relaxed...they don't even wear uniforms. There is lots of accountability though. The school keeps a close eye on the kids and in exchange for a very relaxed atmosphere they expect the kids to stay in line and the majority of them do.

[thispego]

You are better prepared for college going to private school over public. Way better.

[AntiChrist]

[HeatChamps]

Fuck private school.

[Rogue]

Private schools' qualities may vary in a wide range imho. The best ones are head and shoulders above public schools but the shitty ones are much shittier, so if you have the money then private schools would sound the best option for your kids, but if you're middle class or below you may as well choose public school imho.

[Big Empty]

no worries. all the men and woman i know that went to private jesus schools are all athiest. and like to drink! too bad. more heaven for me

But you're better prepared for life (and not socially awkward) going to public school over private. Way better.

But I'll agree that private school for grades 1-8 is better if you can afford it--it's your kids' formative educational years.

why not keep them in private HS or too expensive?

i moved around a ton growing up and my first middle school was in a wealthy area, the education was very good and people were mainly snobs and brats for the most part. lots of gossiping, stupid stuff, i remember one fight. then i moved to Texas, went to a ghetto school that was as many blacks and hispanics as whites, and that's where shit hit the fan with constant fights, gang shit, the works. I knew people that were home schooled after that experience, but I found HS not as crappy. If I could do it all over again I'd probably do private school, but maybe like that nig DD says, you learn more about how to survive social situations from public schools.

I always thought private schools attracted the rich daddy's-money crowd who pretty much spend all their time underage drinking and using drugs, tbh....

[CosmicCowboy]

My kids went to a private semi-religious school (St. George) from pre-K to 8th and then public HS after that. I think they were much better prepared to flourish academically in HS than the kids that did public school in those formative years. Socially and academically I didn't want them going to private HS...They just can't offer the broad range of academic choices and extra curricular activities that a public school can.

[Drachen]

I'm an athiest who is working hard to keep my daughter in a private Catholic school. Why? The education is better. I've got a step daughter who is 10 years older than her and so I've gotten to see public vs. Private and they are far more accelerated in private.

[TDMVPDPOY]

u cant really compared private vs public cause at the end of the day it comes down the resources and infrastructure that school has, the teachers employed and ur kid if they are willing to learn

public schools there are only a handful elite schools then u have the shitty public schools which makes up the whole, if you going to attend a public school, i recommend either elite or some rich public school...cause a public school in rich suburb>>> poof suburb

The reason private schools are better is not because of the religious element or the quality of the teachers...it's the quality of the students...they don't have to put up with shit like the public schools do...they don't have to deal with or teach to the lowest common denominator...if a kid is disruptive in class or can't keep up they just call the parents and suggest they find someplace else for the kid.

If I could do it all over again I'd probably do private school, but maybe like that nig DD says, you learn more about how to survive social situations from public schools.

Well the change coincided with a move from another state, so it was just trying to keep the school changes to a minimum. My kids are Army brats and had already been changing schools every 3 years; that was one reason for private schools, I wanted them to have a bit of consistency. I probably would not have considered public high school if we stayed in the Northeast, but believe it or not, Texas public schools are pretty much equivalent to private schools there. And then there's the social thing. I felt the diversity of population in public schools was a lot more like college and real life than what you get in private Christian schools, and that lesson is as important to me as academics.

[mrsmaalox]

Reagan. The student population is not a problem, it's the administration. Basically if your kid isn't top 10% or an elite althlete or performer, they are pretty much on their own. Lots of politics. I have one top 10%/elite athlete kid, one above average socialite type, and one with ADD who struggles a lot---the attention/treatment they have received has been totally different, it's like having them in 3 different schools. New principal this year, we'll see if anything changes.

Exactly. They had a girl in the school my daughter goes to that caused a bunch of problems last year. She was spreading pretty malicious rumors at the school about several girls that weren't true. It spilled over to Facebook and a bunch of the girls that were being targeted took the evidence to the principal. The school brought in her parents and told them she would be expelled if it ever happened again. Not a single problem with her since.

It really depends. Catholic schools K-8 are supported by the Parish and cost less by far than a place like St. Mary's Hall or Keystone.

They are also quite different in environment. In SA, Catholic schools have ethnic disparity, obviously lots of Hispanic kids, and people from varying economic situations. Some get tuition assistance from the Archdiocese or parish, some have ways to help parents earn some tuition money, and some kids have grandparents paying their tuition. Most of them require service hours from both the kids and the parents.

ok sorry if you want to go to UT then public school is the only way to go. i forgot a&m values the white conservative christian demographic.

of course there's the cap program but that reaaaally fucking sucks because the whole year you're supposed to be getting oriented and making friends, you're stuck on the UTSA campus miserable as hell....and then you can only get into the liberal arts or natural sciences school. you have to apply separately to get into the other schools, and most of them won't accept prior credits so basically you have to start over and stay another year if you want to transfer into another college, which is very difficult to do on its own. transferring into engineering, architecture or business is near impossible.

all the fratters i know accepted into the business school, and are now making good money despite making a 2.5 at UT, played the system by going to a massive, complete shit high school where all you had to do was show up to class to end up in the top 10%.

meanwhile the valedictorian at a private school i know was accepted into UT but not into the engineering school despite scoring 99 percentile on his SAT and ACT.

in this economy, if you end up in liberal arts or natural sciences then you pretty much have to get a graduate degree to be competitive in the real world.

you really have to start planning for uni the first day of high school. what unis do they want to go to? what are their options? how can you play the system as much as possible? what are they good at and what degree will suit them best?

fuck this whole idea about being good and enlightened, etc etc. if you're good parents then that takes care of itself. success in life depends on alma mater, degree and internships.

ill add that the curriculum of private schools isn't taking into account globalization and needs for certain specialties. i went to both private and public high schools, and the public schools offered far more advanced language programs (german, japanese, mandarin, etc.) than the private schools (spanish and some dead language). Pre-AP and AP courses also linked promising students together who pulled far ahead of the pack rather than competing against one another.

These kids are juniors at UT right now. All 3 are guys who graduated outside the Top 10 but inside the Top 25 out of 170 kids. Two were in the Top 10% and one was not. My son's best friend was #20 out of the 170 (outside the Top 10%) and he got into UT Business School. This school always has a ton of kids who get into A&M and UT.
