I assume you're American which makes it harder because I don't know that much about American schooling, so I guess I'll just talk generally and hope it's relevent. In England, private school kids are hated by non-private school kids, mainly, because they think they're better than the rest of us, and private school kids hate non private school kids because they think they're better than us. At private school you get no social education. You get no preparation for the real world, where you meet people from all backgrounds everyday. You can nearly always tell a private school kid from a non private school kid - they walk different, talk different, look different, and have this air about them like the world has always bent over backwards to do their bidding and yet they aren't even aware or thankful. They are incredibly arrogant. At private school people are not accepted, they are bullied for being different in any way. If you're not in with the right people, wearing the right clothes, listening to the right music, having the right parties, going to right places, having the right parents, smoking the right crap and drinking too much you're labelled as Wrong. Private school kids I know are sexually active, drinking, smoking and doing drugs before us normal people even consider it, because they are told they can do no wrong. I know many people from both sorts of school, and I can tell you that at least where I live this is the absolute truth, and not too biased because my best friend is at a private school. State schools in England are now getting better academic results that private schools by record amounts. English universities are now discriminating against private school kids. No one likes a snob. No one likes a toff. Private school kids are snobs, even if they weren't before they went there. Please, please, please do the best thing for your kids' future. Send them to public school. To validate my points: I am 16, I have an IQ of 140, I am predicted 8 A*s and 2 As for GCSE and plan to read music at Oxford university. I have friends I'd trust with my life, a boyfriend who loves and respects me, and I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm not a fan of the class system, but my parents would be described as upper middle class, and we have a large but not extravagent income. Basically I'm a good person, I'm doing well, teachers use me as a role model. What has state school not done for me?

That totally depends on the school. You cannot generalize in that manner.

Answer 4
I go to a private school, and personally I don't think theres much point putting your children in at preschool stage - as there are many really good public schools which teach them the skills they need. However, I do think that the atmosphere in private schools (well in mine anyway) is great when it comes to secondary school, and that the teachers do everything they can to help us. But as others have said, it really does depend on the school, as I have many friends who go to public school, who are very clever.

Answer 5
I go to a private high school. It certainly is an advantage to go to a private high school because I get more attention from the teachers and we are very competitive when it comes to grades. The downside to it is that private school kids tend to be very sheltered.

How do I write a book review for school
How do I write a book review for school?
I need to read 1776 for my US History Class as a Pre-Class Assignment (Summer Work) and I need to write a 5 page book review (double spaced size 12) I don't know how to write a book review. What should I include/leave out?
Other - Education - 1 Answers - 2008-07-31 23:34:21
Best Answer
Begin with a small introduction to the book itself. Title, author, etc. In the same paragraph, include a 1 - 2 sentence summary of the book. Since you were required to read this book, write one sentence saying why or why not you enjoyed it, if allowed. For the body paragraphs, break the book into sections. For example, section one could be chapters 1 - 4. Summarize these chapters in your first paragraph. Continue in this fashion... For your conclusion, briefly rewrite your intro. Summarize your summaries. Use big words and Spell Check constantly. If you're really stressing as to getting five pages, make the margins slightly smaller. Check out sparknotes.com. I visit the site whenever I'm confused on a book, it's very helpful. Don't plagiarize, though. Hope this helped, and good luck in your studies!

I live in Michigan and cannot relocate. the only school I think here is the Art Institutes in Novi (detroit) I have read mixed reviews and this location opened last year. I don't really have a choice as far as schools since this is the only one. I guess I just would like opinions. Has anyone attended any of the locations? What did /didn't you like about them?

Is college just a basic review of high school?
I know your major courses are different but I'm currently in my first semester and I'm paying hundreds on books and tuition just to learn correct grammar and 9th grade algebra all over again? Don't get me wrong I know the first year is general education but damn seriously, is it like this the whole first year?

Answer 3
you should ask because your money is going to waste thats bullshit
2009-11-17 02:04:29
Answer 4
It could be that the courses you enrolled in are very basic. If you are scoring 100's on the tests, and ace-ing everything, request transfer to a higher class. College was nothing like High School for me. Every subject was challenging compared to High School, except Math, which was merely equal to High School (but our HS was renowned for Math).
2009-11-17 16:28:49
Answer 5
You should have taken placement tests when you entered your school, and that test would tell the counselor what classes you are capable of learning. If you did not take a placement test, and you are studying below 100 series classes, then you need to ask if you can take the placement test to go to a higher class. You may have also misunderstood the counselor or whoever helped you choose the classes, but whatever, don't continue spending hundreds of dollars on something you don't need. Talk to someone about it, and get the classes you need. It may also be possible that they are just starting out slow so that if some of the classmates are there after not attending school for several years can remember and catch up, then the class may pick up speed later in the year, but this being already November, I doubt it.

I am writing a review for school, and I am intentionally not giving away important plot points in the story. When you read a review about a book, or a movie, do you WANT know a little bit about the content, or do you prefer the review is vague so it doesn't ruin the story for you?

Get really homesick and going to France on school trip
Get really homesick and going to France on school trip?
I get SUPER homesick and im going to France with school on a trip. Also i have read reviews on websites saying that the hotel gives out of date food and someone got foodpoisioning. People have also said that the rooms are a mess and there is gum on the beds, mould and blood on the walls :S Can someone help me cure my homesickness?

Best Answer
Just remember that there are soldiers and sailors who are stationed far from home to protect you and your country who are REALLY homesick and many haven't been home for a year. I am sure that your school trip will be for a much shorter time. Also, be grateful that you are going with classmates and at least a teacher or two. It is even worse for students who have to move overseas to a foreign country where few ppl speak English and have no adult mentors there. Many ppl live their whole lives and never make it to France and you get to go while you are a kid. Keep busy and think about gifts you can get for your family from France. It can be "simple" items-- a package of French cookies, a pair of socks, a key chain, etc. If you are worried about the hotel and the hotel restaurant, print out what you found on the internet and show it to the teacher/adult going with you on the trip. I am sure that your teacher doesn't want to get food poisoning either. Hopefully, you will be eating only breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Eating only the bread and drinking tea will MOST LIKELY be safe. Make sure you have health insurance. If you are in the UK, I believe the NHS will cover you in an EU country such as France. Have a great time!
