Hi :] I'm a 10th grader and I'm falling in school. I've been to both types of schools and I don't like niether of them. Where should I go to next year? I'm so lost, public schools are careless but private are fake and damanding.

Im a 10th grader myself and i wanna tell you i sucked at school , my mom was so fed up with me that she even considered dropping me out of high school . Now im not a straight A student but i get about 50/50 B's and A's . You wanna know the secret? I found motivation. It dosent matter what school you're in , if you dont have the will to work. I found this struggling study group of people who arent stupid but cant seem to study , we started competing , meeting each other and helping each other learn in a fun light kinda of a way . I used to party before a test and they would literally come and drag me to revision . Thats what friends are for.

Yeah i know the 10th grade seems so different than the 9th . But you better get back on track , an 11th grader i was dating said that in order to do well in 11th you really need 10th. How about i send someone to drag you to study lol.

Hi stephiequalsgrr, I did study in both private and public school. It's free for the young citizens learning in public primary as well as secondary schools. And we need to pay certain amount of expenses twice a year for extra consumption on buying art and craft materials as well as subsidy on physical culture tools. Since most of us couldn't afford to pay for the hike school fee studying in private school therefore majority us are students from public schools. I had been studying in public school since primary school. I shifted to public school after graduating from lower secondary school due to personal reason. Though my dad had to pay more for me to study in private school for another three years. It's worth as there was less students in the class compared to those public school classes, therefore teachers could take good care for us. I was really happy that I had learned and acquired what I keened to have. Most of the teachers I had come across there were helpful as well as hospitable and good in their teaching profession. I had made good friends with many classmates met there Happy posting

Maybe online schooling would be better for you? I know of a few kids who hated school and had to take some online courses to make up for the ones they failed and they seemed to like it. They said it was easy and they liked it because they could do it at whatever time they wanted. I'm not sure how much it costs though.

Check the school's education rating. It's not the type that really matters. It's the school's performance.

hello step!hehe. .well step, as a college student, for me i will prefer to choose private schools, because it is more opportunities and also teachers/ professors have enough time to teach you eagerly. But in general, it is not about the school, not the school name, what could it be, more important is you know how to manage your time and to have determination to finished school as possible. just do what is right and discover things that could help you more. school is not easy and all of us knows that. well, good luck!

We cannot truly generalize schools.. I've been to both public and private before.. when choosing a public school, as much as possible look for a State University.. facilities are usually high end and they have a reputation to protect, you won't feel that they're carefree... In private schools, Try choosing the sectarian type which are ran by religious group, they often adhere to certain standards
