Which school should I go to - catholic or public?

I think more details should be involved here but really, it’s what you feel like. If you go to catholic school…well, I guess at least you won’t have to put up with a lot of swearing. I reckon you’d probably have to wear a uniform though. Plus, they may or may not still hit your hands with rulers and such. Public schools I’ve done all my life and it’s what I recommend even if it is a bit harsh… You got everyday life people in them so expect the good and bad …

depends on your preference, catholic will probably be more strict, maybe uniforms? but usually catholic schools have less kids, so you would get more attension from teachers, which would make it easier to learn i guess more one on one time….but public schools are usually less strict, a lot more kids though.

I go to public school and love it, but iv’e never been to a catholic or chirstian school, so idk. My friend went to a christian school and then moved to my school, and she said she prefers public school…but again it all depends on you.

I’ve been to both a catholic school and a public school. From my experience, I can tell you that although I do not believe in religion as they do in catholic schools, I enjoyed the catholic more.

When I went to the catholic school I found that the classes were much smaller, which allowed for the teachers to help each student as much as needed. I found that they were actually more laid back rule wise. They want you to behave like any normal school, though.

When it came to teaching styles, they learned things slower in the catholic school. I found that the public school was very fast paced compared to it.

Now.. for me, the big difference was that there was a lot of religion mixed into the studies at the catholic school. Every second day we had a religion class, we also went to church every week. Although I took part in church the first while, I let the principal know that I was uncomfortable with it, and she let me sit out of church.. So I don’t have any complaints on that part.

In general though, I’d have to say that where you should go depends on what you expect, need, and want.

Public schools ftw :D

I dont know what century your living in but hitting students on the hand with rulers and such? Thats called abuse and its illegal, the teacher would be sacked in 2 seconds if they even layer a finger on a student. and there is still a heap of swearing, just because its called ‘catholic’ does not mean students will be more/less behaved. Catholic schools only introduce a regioys subject and encourage the faith of christianity by praying and relating everything to god.

Yeah, well, let’s just say it wasn’t like that back in my father’s time. And I’d still recommend public school …

well its not back in your fathers time anymore.

You never know what may be going on in the world, even now.

ur parents choice

i know that, but you were making it out as if all catholic schools do that. Someone would report it if it happened.

Catholic! They make everyone wear uniforms and that saves you the trouble of searching for something to wear every day and you get to save your clothes for the weekends.

I dont think there is a big difference. I loved my Catholic high school. It was very laid back, and I really enjoyed religious education classes, which were not just about Catholism but about world views and ethics in general. Even the non-Catholic people in my class enjoyed them. My school was alot smaller which i liked, but those are the only differences i can think of.
