Public schools are OK, depending on where you are.

They kick if they have fencing.

I find that more private schoolers are less into argh, I don't know how to explain it. Do you know how the popular music and entertainment scenes are filled with sex, drugs, and violence? Well, privates schoolers tend not to live by it as 'the law'. They are more likely to hold intellegent conversations (now, remember I'm talking about high schoolers) and have higher morals.

What about me what do i vote for? i went to public school (eurgh) until this year and now i'm home schooled. i should have gone to a private school, one thats not religous or snooty, one that kicks people up their arse and makes them work. oh im so lazy.

well, now you are homeschooled so you're a homeschooler. I used to go to public, but I left in Hawaii. There was too much sex and drugs for my tastes.

Public schools do have alot of sex and drugs.

Although I hear that private schools are actually the worst drug places because the students have more money to kick around. But I can't verify that with an article or anything.

Private schools are not necessarily better than public schools, although they do tend to be.

let's just say that I don't deal well with sex and drugs. I have issues with it.

Although public schools plus fencing are great what about private schools with fencing, like mine, I think it trumps the public.

Yeah there is so much drug dealing at school now. when i went to school all the boneheads sat on the rugby field and smoked, the teachers came round the corner, nabbed them all they got was "a slap on the wrist" they kept doing it. so dumb there should be harsher penalties. Theres a loophole also in our law somewhere saying that you cant buy cigs if youre U18 but theres nothing forbidding you to smoke if you are U18.
I also left cos i didnt really get along with my teachers, some of them were so dumb i kept on challenging them to quizzes and winning. suckers. the only teacher i got along with was my french teacher, but shes gone so theres nothing to stay for.
