As opposed to...?

Oh... Seriously? Public schools aren't the only places kids go to learn... I know you aren't that ignorant. You have heard of private schools, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I've never heard someone use public school as an insult before, nor make it part of their identity as if they're superior to someone. I always assumed private schools were religious weirdos. Did you just completely fail at life and have to fall back on the fact you went to a private school to feel superior to others? What a total loser lol. Those bible cult classes must've done a number on you.

Ma'am/sir, pardon me for being an ass... there are plenty of people who have gone to public school that have become smarter than I, most certainly. I've probably met a couple myself. I don't think your assumption that most private schools are religious is true...

Did you just completely fail at life and have to fall back on the fact you went to a private school to feel superior to others?

No, I don't usually tell others that I was private schooled. Doesn't seem relevant usually. It's weird, though. It seems very evident here on lemmy that most here were public schooled. It probably also has to do with the fact that it's a very young crowd here. Anyway. Go in peace brother

"I've probably met a couple myself". Nice one.

Also, just for the record, not all private schools are good, yours has certainly failed you. So did your parents, if you're speaking this way unironically.

Second, there's places in the world where private schools are for kids that can't get into the decent/good public schools. You sound like one of those people.

Lol. I comend you for coming like a white knight to try to stick up for your fellow state educated friend. Yet, you come with ad hominems, stating the obvious and fallacious comparisons. (Dictionary.com) there I helped.

not all private schools are good

Okay? I'm sure that is true, but it adds no weight to your "argument." (You have no argument, just personal attacks)

there's places in the world where private schools are for kids that can't get into the decent/good public schools.

... The whole world, huh?

The fact of the matter is that in general, private school kids get a better education than their public counter parts.

The fact of the matter is that in general, private school kids get a better education than their public counter parts.

and the evidence says:

"But in terms of academic advantage, we know, from our research and other studies that explored similar questions, there is little evidence to show independent schools offer any. It is likely children will do equally well in any school sector."

https://theconversation.com/going-to-private-school-wont-make-a-difference-to-your-kids-academic-scores-175638

'"When you compare children who went to private school (for an average of six years) with those who only went to public school, any apparent benefits of private schooling – higher test scores, for example – are entirely attributable to parents’ education and income,” he says. “The fact that they went to private school does not account for any differences we might see.”'

Lol. You know what's funny? This is the perfect public scooler answer. This is exactly what public education gets one... you found 2 random articles that support your beliefs, and you think it's checkmate? Lolol. These articles are trash. I'm not going to waste my time anymore. I wish you could believe me, I have first-hand knowledge watching my public school friends become mechanics and such, no college. While nearly all my private school friends went to college after high school. The fact of the matter is that more private school kids go to college, get a degree, and earn more money. (You shouldn't be so ready to have blind faith in a couple shitty websites.) Maybe our parents play a role in all of this. But class size matters. Quality teachers get paid more at private school. Hence, they're smarter and better teachers because who pays more for a shitty teacher. These are objective issues.

I fight a fools battle... I can't believe you were so easily convinced public schools are just as good as private. That tells me you probably never even seen a private school. It would blow your tiny mind lol. Also I've experienced public school. Honestly, I feel fucking sorry for yall... you aren't given the tools/skills/opportunities that private schools has.

Yall have drained my energy... good job. Points for you.

What a weirdo, and someone who cares way too much about judging people by what school they went to rather than actual achievements. You just kinda rambled anecdotes that mean nothing to anyone besides you. That's the thing about anecdotes, if other people don't share them then they're just stories. Sorry I missed out on your Jesus bible classes and getting whipped by abusive teachers while being told "alternative" facts since they don't need to be held to actually teach the truth, unlike public funded schools.
