[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not about academics, but behavior and manners. You can identify a public school kid based on how they behave. [/quote]

Yeah, public school kids are nicer and don’t bully people because their families make less than $1M/year.[/quote]

Parent of Bx Sci and Stuy here.
There IS a difference culturally. My Asian kids would joke that there are a lot of NPCs at their school (non playable characters). I guess it means those kids are devoid of personalities and or extremely awkward. Most of them are from Brooklyn or Queens. 
And no, they are not necessarily nicer when you get to know them. 
The truth is there is a lack of social polish but that has to do with parental influence and upbringing - not something inherent to these kids.
The same goes for even the really low tier privates. I did some mentoring at an all boys catholic private way up in the bronx and those boys had that scrappy side to their interactions with people. 
It isnt a public/private divide but a secure and insecure divide.
