I’m sorry you dislike black kids.
Give it a rest. Im sorry you don’t raise your kids with basic manners and decorum.
I don’t have kids, and you probably Shouldn’t either if “those brown kids are too rowdy” is the best you can do.
So, when quotation marks are used - it indicates an actual duplication of someone’s statements. Nobody stated what you have indicated with quotes.
Since we’re being pedantic, first of all, you don’t begin a sentence with “So” and then a comma. Secondly, quotation marks have multiple grammatically correct uses. I would have expected your private school to teach you that, but here, let me help you.

So you see from this exchange between these two PPs, OP, that some people will be behave badly given the chance. Surely these two PPs wouldn’t say these things to each other’s faces at the local park/grocery/cafe. But let them be anonymous and they will because that is who they are. Kids are the same. See posts on this forum that are mean? Those are the parents. Apples don’t fall far. Some kids will and do behave badly if/when they think they can get away with it. Just like the parents. Some of those kids and parents are at public schools. And yes, some are at private.

I taught in public school and now send my kid to the best private school in our city. My public school couldn’t filter kids through the door based on their ability to behave. They couldn’t kick kids out for not complying with behavioral expectations. Of course the kids at my kids’ private are much MUCH better behaved.

No. They experience less disruption in school generally, because there are fewer special needs kids and other demanding kids in private. Basically they don’t see or have the opportunity to mimic bad behaviors as often as public school kids.

Right? I was thinking the same thing as I’m reading these “behavior is of course better at private school” responses.
This. I went to private school, the kids know they had better be behaved near adults, but when they are not around...

(We're a military family.) I will disclaim my younger daughter would have found the same type of person at either school, but I still feel I can speak to the accuracy of my comment due to both daughters playing the same sport all 4 years of their high school years. (Hence, having similar "crowds" to compare.)
Fascinating. Is there a link you can provide to where data on the percentage of shoplifters in each school is disclosed? Thank you!

The reason is pretty simple: private schools do not have to accept (or keep) disrespectful, troublemaking, or otherwise misbehaving students.
This is so FALSE. Beyond FALSE. The number of kids who get away with godawful sh!t at private schools is staggering. There are fewer kids in private than public so it may SEEM like that. As a private school parent for the last 14 years, I can't even count the number of HORRIBLE children who get admitted because the parents guarantee a certain amount of money. I know FOUR families who's misbehaving miscreants are "transferring" to other schools outside of the application process because of money.
The kids don't get kicked out. And the kids who should not be admitted are admitted because the Heads around here are competing to build the biggest endowment. Lots of BDE amongst the private administration.
You speak with such passionate authority, PP. So - what is your opinion based upon? Because, while I appreciate your 4 friends, either you have taught or been in admin at both public and private schools to justify your passion. I think perhaps neither. Private schools attract certain types of people and public attracts others. You prefer what you are comfortably with in terms of behavior in the class and outside. I’ll chose private every time. You do you.
