re: t345345345

I would say not to go to the prep unless it really is that much better. Example: my friends that went to a Bay Area public school: 5 to Ivy's/Stanford, at least a dozen to good UC's. my friends from my prep school: 3 to Ivy, about 10 to UC but I don't know anyone that went to a shitty university. All in all our fortunes are about the same. Good athletes tended to go to better schools and kids with wealthy/well connected parents tended to go into $ industries. That all being said, I'm happy with what I've got and so are most of my friends

re: my parents overpaid

Like you, I went to a private, Christian high school. The education was decent but probably not worth the extra money.

The funny thing is, though, public schools usually cost just as much per student as private schools; you're getting ripped off at private schools only because you're paying for the private school directly and the public school (that you don't attend) through taxes.

Whether or not a public school is good depends on the area in which you live. Where I lived a few years ago, the public school system was cruddy in terms of education and the crowd of persons who attended it; however, where I lived before that, the public school system was excellent.

And regardless of how good a school is, education is what you make of it. If your biology teacher is lazy and doesn't teach you a single thing, pick up the biology book and read it yourself. Tell your parents to pay for an SAT prep course. Do Running Start.

re: prep to ivy

I went to public high school and I now go to a Catholic university. I did what I needed to get by in high school and I did way less work my first semester of college than I did in high school and got pretty much the same GPA. I also found the course load really easy whereas my friends that went to parochial schools said they felt swamped with the work. I also got tons of attitude about coming from public school when my public school was much better than the Catholic schools most people here attended. I also came in with a slew of AP credits while most of my friends did not take a single AP class and are stuck trudging through 17 core classes. Catholic school on average is better when its more of a safety issue.

re: glfdjhkfldhj

What does a typical private school teacher get paid. I might look into doing this. However, I am not yet certified. Is this a problem? I'm talking local catholic schools with lower end tuition.

re: MScoach

I understand you. My family is very poor and I have been working with a variety of 10 years. I studied at St. Patrick’s School in Brimengem. We used any opportunities to make good lessons and not to upset parents. At school, I also began to be interested in Internet opportunities and assistant https://essayreviewexpert.com/review/ukwritings/ site. Education is a lottery. You should be able to find a solution in non-standard situations.
