Do Public schools Suck?

I watched a documentary which showed how much better private schools were then public schools. SO does that mean poor people are doomed to a low-grade education?

Yes and No. Depends on school.

In USA...
Some public schools provide better schooling than private schools while other schools fail to do so. It may be hard for some poor people..but not for all. Some poor people can get scholarships to go to private schools (elementary, middle schools, and higher educ) or take advantage of a new gov't system. What is this gov't system? Pretty much if a public school fails to teach you well, you can go to any private school with the money the gov't gives you. The money the gov't would use to pay for your public educ. Of course, if the private school is more than that amount of money, you have to pay for the rest.
Private schools, on the other hand, usually are better than public schools 'cause of the teachers they can afford and the higher standards that they require. Also, some private schools won't accept students if they don't pass their test. (Public school accepts everybody..which may explain why private schoolers sometimes seem to have better educ.)Lastly, there are some private schools that have bad education.
Also, some poor people surpass others even with poor schooling..because they teach themselves or found ways to learn their stuff.

In Taiwan, it is flipped.
Their public schools are better than their private schools. If you fail to test into the public school or cannot handle the work, you're pretty much forced to pay more and get a worse education...private school.

Just because we go to public school, doesn't mean we're poor, bastard.

Private schools are better because they are run by higher standards and parents have to pay so much for a "classier" education. And just because you go to a public school does not mean you're poor, private schools can just be really expensive.

No, I go to a public school that is considered "excellent'' and average test scores are very well. Also out of 500 schools, my school was 14th when it came to academics. I myself have a 4.0 GPA. But in some cases it depends on where you live or where you choose to go. In my view, that is just one documentary that is isn't very close to what it really going on. In addition, just because people are poor doesn't mean their edcation is limited. Besides isn't that why there are scholarships for certain private school and books for self enrichment?

Nope. I got a terrific education, public from kindergarten right through graduate school.

Well, US, anyway.


It completely depends on the school you go to, and what YOU expect, not so much what the school does.

No. I went to a public school with an average GPA of 3.7, really depends on the kind of city you live in.
