i most definetely like the public school side better (anti-conformity..blah blah blah all that good stuff..hahahha)

but a good point for private: in public education, you have a lot of rebelious kids who don't mind getting in trouble, and who hate being there and who misbeave beacoup. mais dans l'ecole pri- woah i just switched to french unknowingly ...that was sooo weird. anyway. but in private school, the kids don't misbehave as much (causing distractions) becuase 1) it may have been their choice to go there in the first place. 2) they're parents put them there and are paying for that, and so they know they will be disowned if they misbehave, 3) the disciplinary actions are more strict there, so as not to cause any distractions ( ... )

Uniforms require the entire student body to become monotonous in terms of appearance. This may be beneficial in that it may help squash any animosity or hatred associated to appearance. A sense of equality is spread throughout the entire class, thus bringing everyone in a figurative horizontal line socially. No one person is better than the other in terms of how they look. Unfortunately, this obvious manditory conformity can most definitely cause problems from the inside-out. Once you leave the confidings of your private school, a sense of freedom rushes you and it can be overwhelming most of the time. I dyed my hair blue about a month after I got out. Of course, that would be strictly forbidden at the private school I attended. But the new sense of liberty drives people to do things they wouldn't normally do. Many of my former friends got involved in drugs and other illegal activities as a result ( ... )

WELL
my reply won't be quite that long, but i do have a few points:
-public schools make you deal with everybody, not just rich kids who can afford private school...more like the real world, etc
-public schools allow for more self-expression, no uniforms, etc

-private schools are more selective and tend to have more individual attention, thus making people learn more, etc
-usually smaller classes, etc
-let kids focus on specific areas, kinda like majors for college
-more money for equipment, sports, etc

that's all i've got right now :)
hope it helps
