[quote=Anonymous]I went to both private and public schools.  I do think private schools kids have more confidence but think most of them would have the same level of confidence regardless.  I think they were raised to be confident.

I noticed at public school no one really cares about you.  Whereas at private school your parents are paying oodles of money and it is kind of like a club.  The school wants you to be happy and will cater more to your child.

My public school was excellent and my classmates attended very prestigious schools.  I feel like my public high school, which was on par with a magnet school, was a better choice for me and better preparation for the real world.  I was a sensitive child and a little shy. My public school was more like the real world - a large school where people don't necessarily care about you or go out of their way to make sure you succeed.  I was also around Asians, Jews and students from other backgrounds I wouldn't have been exposed to had I stayed in private.  I also would have had a harder time adjusting to the real world.  Let's face it - the real world, even at a prestigious firm, forces you to work with people from all sorts of socioeconomic backgrounds.  You can only shelter yourself from this for so long.

That being said, I would absolutely send my children to private if we didn't have access to great public schools.  [/quote]
