They are both equally stupid and addicted to tech. The rich people make their idiocy a side effect of the drugs and the poor people allow their idiocy to get the thrown in jail. If you are rich you get a pat on the back for crashing the economy and stealing tax payer monies and if you are poor you get jail time for stealing a load of bread.

This doesn’t even come close to answering the question. Stay on topic.
Agree. It’s a stupid question though.
It is a stupid question but the troll who came on to say “private schools have better quality students and families” specifically came on here to elitist and racist.

The formula has a lot more inputs! You are focusing on one of about 10 variables.

Funny. I was going to say something similar...it depends on what you mean by " nice" OP. I think private school kids often ( not always) tend to have better manners and know how to speak to adults. They can also be more manipulative and meaner..they often have a more sophisticated way of appearing nicer when they're not..A sort of "Eddie Haskell" character from Leave it to Beaver.

In my experience. Private kids are nicer, but public kids are kinder.
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.
BS
Privates have the same amount of bad behaviors. They hide it.
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.
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.

Some private school kids have more polished manners at an earlier age, taught to them explicitly at their school... but manners have nothing to do with character.
Specifically for middle school shenanigans, I would say it can be challenging at any school, and it depends on the group that you end up in.
But I really need to insist here that CHARACTER is not equal to MANNERS.
