[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two kids do a mix of public and private. A third did all public.

I and one of my siblings did a mix of private and public. Four more siblings did all public.

In my experience. Private kids are nicer, but public kids are kinder.[/quote]

Same here, and I agree with your overall assessment. I did a mix of public and private, both for myself and for my kid. However, I'll also say that you get more extreme behavior in public without serious consequences (no expulsion). Fist fights, chair throwing, etc. There are also SOME private schools with an entire grade or entire student body of truly kind and empathetic kids. I don't know why this happens with some privates and not others, even when comparing non-cut throat, mixed SES privates with small-tp-medium student bodies.[/quote]

Privates have the same amount of bad behaviors. They hide it.[/quote]

Of course they hide behavior. But often those kids are not asked to return. I'm not talking about run of the mill mean girl behavior or teasing. [/quote]

They will be asked to return if they are the kids of donors. And if it's a small k-12, they will be asked to return every single year and there is no way to avoid them. [/quote]
