as a non-american, it feels so surreal watching these tiktok videos because our public and private schools aren't that different from each other in terms of basic facilities and people, and prolly like 90% of schools here require uniforms. plus, most people just take public transport because it's more efficient, but i do see more parents driving their kids to school in black BMWs if they go to private schools. idk maybe i got lucky and got into a decent public school, but i never felt like my school was terrible and i never felt inferior to private school students. in fact, i feel grateful for public schools because i don't have to pay like 10k in our currency (about 1.2k usd) for a semester.

Hi! I actually live really close to the first private school. It's Valley Christian and the line that turns from poverty to wealth is actually pretty gross imo. The hill that it's on is a true separation from the rows and rows of homeless camps below it. I actually live right behind those rows. I grew up looking up at that giant school that was so shiny, while waiting for the bus on southside with my mom. There would be so much garbage that went on and on for miles, police activity was high, and I couldn't go anywhere without my mom (up until my 20s). I don't hate the kids or the parents who send their kids there, I just hate the system and how a lot of us end up suffering just because we weren't born into wealth.

The highschool and governor's school were only a few minutes from each other.

Same here. My public school had the best test scores and most students graduated with high GPA. It was blue ribbon school in our State. I liked my school. There were fights occasionally and vandalism inside the bathroom stalls, but most people hung out with eachother and lived in the same area. Some students smoked cigarettes and took drugs. Lol I loved my school though. I only was upset about the horrible cafeteria food that they make poor public school kids eat especially if they couldn't afford to bring food from home.

[@pinarose2110]

I was in public schools all my life and i loved it.

Public schools rely a lot on property taxes for funding, so generally, the richer the area, the nicer the school. I'm sure a lot of the public schools in this video are from underfunded, lower income areas. Of course, the more academic success a school achieves, the more they can level that for resources to break the cycle, but that's really hard when you don't have enough to teach students properly in the first place.

[@justinlee810]

Public schools are maintained by local taxes (I think) so that's why there's such a big gap. Some neighborhoods are just richer than others. It's why systemic racism is so insidious...poor people are forced into lower income neighborhoods and oh look, those kids grow up to go to terribly-funded schools and have fewer opportunities...and then they grow up to have even fewer chances to succeed, get married, have kids...cycle continues. I say this as a product of private schools (although my school didn't look NEARLY as nice as some of those, I feel like those were European schools for the ultra wealthy). We are definitely given major advantages over our public school counterparts and yes, it needs to improve. But that falls under the state governments, not much Biden could personally do. I mean, he certainly could MORE, it's just unlikely because the states simply do not listen to the federal government. Because FREEDUMB! and other American things. Yee haw.

hi! i went to the junior high/high school shown in the first video. as someone who is not from a wealthy background, i think it's important to remember that a lot of kids at private schools are from low to mid middle class and are on school scholarship. many of the kids i went to school with came from the public school system and only went to private school because their parents wanted them to have a better education and more resources. it's really unfortunate that in the united states, for some people to feel like they can only get a proper education they have to pay 10k-20k/year. being able to get a good education where it is safe, fun, and healthy to learn should be more widely accessible to all

[@toriecarter2711]

I went to public school, but my schools were more towards the high end of public, for the most part, I guess. But the area I grew up has been developed even more, since then, with even pricier homes. Some of the schools were in old buildings, at the time, but since then they've had brand new ones built. My middle school had been recently built, when I attended it, and now (a decade+ later) they built a whole new middle school again. Some of the other old ones, like my high school, they just add onto. When I graduated they were building a new science & math building (yes, we of course called it the S&M building to the staff's fury^.^), because the floor always groaned in the upstairs area of the old building & my senior year I think we had two incidents of people falling through... Our social studies classes were also in temporary buildings (think one room trailers) while we waited for the new building to be built (only the social studies teachers had been out there for like 5 years...) Our theater had old wooden chairs that were breaking, but there was talks of getting those fixed. But we had lots of clubs & sports, a well-equipped home ec building with stoves & lots of sewing machines, computer labs, two gyms, American football field, soccer field, two cafeterias with like several kitchens that offered different types of food, etc. We used to have an onsite mechanic study program, but that was stopped when an agreement with a local college was struck, and those students were bused to that class. Our dances were held at event space in the city, never in the gyms. When I graduated they were also starting testing having laptops in classrooms that the students could use. But we also lived enough in the country that someone would always ride their horse to school once or twice a year as a joke & most the vehicles in the parking lot were trucks^.^ Oh, when I was in (I think) the sixth grade, our district went to wearing uniforms with a pretty strict dress code. They were just the polo shirt in a certain color with khaki or navy pants type, but most the staff was very strict about length of skirts, types of jackets in a specific color, no crazy hair colors, etc.

[@eightratsinatrenchcoat]

The main reason public schools vary so wildly in quality here is that school funding is decided by housing tax in the area. So areas with fancier houses (and usually richer owners) get more funding. While not all public schools are HORRIBLE, they’re still almost all extremely underfunded and have some kind of pest problem or something similar, and the kids there usually get into a lot more trouble than private school kids because no one cares about them enough to prevent the behavior before it happens.

[@giniesyvae9040]

I went to a private school from 6th to 12th grade. The tuition started at about 36k USD, but by junior year my parents were easily paying over 70k a year for me AND my twin brother to attend. Yet somehow, when I watch these videos, the private schools with 20k annual tuition have great facilities. Obviously my school was a million times better than the local public schools, but with 70k annual tuition, these other schools are making the administration look like they're sitting on their asses(which they are)...

Wow, the difference between private vs public school and the students are so huge now! I grew up in the 80s/90s and I attended a private catholic school from elementary to highschool. Back then, you can only really tell the difference between private and public schools and the students by knowing the kids or by studying how they acted. I lived in an area where if you're from a well-off family, then you're in a mostly peaceful territory, usually gated communities with security guards and stuff. Hell, I even had my very own bodyguard as a kid due to kidnapping threats (which kinda messed me up when it comes to my extreme need of privacy now as an adult). If you lived outside, then it was quite dangerous especially at night where there were street corner gangs who might mug you (or make unwanted love). Because of the difference in living conditions, people who lived in the safe peaceful territories were more timid and non-destructive, while those who lived outside were more brash, more rugged. This was how you could tell apart those who were attending private schools and those who went to public schools. Still, I can definitely say that I haven't seen that kind of wildness, destructiveness from public school students like what you've shown in your video. Those kids in your video are definitely on another level, to the point where the cops had to be called on them! It's sad that they don't seem to have discipline or concern for others who might want to use those facilities. All of us wore uniforms, both private and public school students. The designs were very similar, unlike what your video showed where the kids from private school seemed like they're from a Harry Potter movie while those in public school wore normal every day clothes. I guess the idea of uniforms for everyone was to discourage discrimination and instill a discipline and mindset that even if we're from different lifestyles, we're all still the same human beings. That's definitely something I agree with and it worked. There was no problem for anyone being friends with fellow private or public school students. We acted differently but we all got along and enjoyed the same stuff. Of course, those from above average families owned better stuff. Cars, toys, video game consoles, walkman/cassette players, those stuff, while those from the poorer area didn't really have much. The only time you could tell private and public students apart without knowing who they were, was when they were not in school. This was the time when everyone would just wear what they wanted and so the private school kids would be seen with better quality fashion than those from the public school. In highschool, I remember some of my friends being into racing cars (for me, I was a hardcore video gamer, owned all the consoles from Atari 2600 up to the PS2 and I'd always have my friends at my home playing with me lol!). They'd customize cars and turn them into something that looked like out of that Initial D anime. As for me, I was happy with a normal, non-racing car lol! My friends who were from public school had different hobbies. They enjoyed playing billiards at the local restaurant that had lots of billiards tables, and sometimes I also played with them (I love 9 Ball!). I remember one of my friends hitting the cue ball so hard, it flew and hit another friend in the man-balls lol!!! Some of them loved reading books/novels, and they'd recommend or lend me books from time to time. I remember this one book my buddy lent me called "The Pearl" or something. It was my first time reading a book with somewhat x-rated content in it. I was pleasantly shocked, especially since I didn't get to read that kind of stuff from school or my usual books haha! Anyway as for the actual differences in schools, well, not much really. My private school certainly didn't look magical. During its early days, it looked more like a really big house and the rooms were classrooms. There were lots of trees around, which I loved. My school expanded and we had a basketball court, which doubled as the volleyball court as well (I remember taking a volleyball shot to the head that was supposed to hit my crush who was sitting, one of my few heroic moments in life lol!). We didn't have a swimming pool. During my highschool days, the school expanded once again and this time we had a 4-story tall building, which was awesome! It felt more like a hospital than a school though haha! The bathrooms during my elementary days were crap. They were always wet for some reason, probably a mixture of badly aimed pee and water. Thankfully the bathrooms during my highschool days were much better and cleaner. For public schools, it was almost the same. Sometimes we would visit public schools as some kind of friendship/exchange thing or for competitions. The public schools were much bigger than my private school! There were more students as well. They also had more trees (I like trees because I like catching beetles and spiders, they're cute)! I can honestly say that the only thing that made my school better, in terms of environment, were the air conditioning machines lol! The public schools only had electric fans, which barely worked. I'm the kind of person who's weak against the heat, and that's why I need aircon all the time and that's what made me say I prefer my private school. In terms of actual education quality, it's pretty much the same. The curriculum was nothing new. We all learned the same stuff, same math, same science, same literature. I think the only advantage my private school had over the public ones, was that even back in the 80s and 90s, we already had computer lessons even in grade 1! Remember those giant floppy disks? Those were lots of fun, mine was color green lol! We also had an actual piano at school and every one of us learned how to play the piano, guitar and some other stuff. I remember one of my friends was a Korean boy named Tae Jim Kim and we fooled around with the guitar and played a Metallica tune instead of a folk song lol! A lot of the public schools didn't have these musical instruments for some reason. I think those two subjects were what gave us an advantage over the public school. Well, it was fun reminiscing about my youth. When I was young, I wanted school to be over. Now as an adult, I wish I could be a youngster again who only worries about exams and crushes.

I'm from Netherlands, my dad is dutch and in the military and my moms american and moved overseas to be with him. When i was 7, we had to move to the US for 4 years. The dutch military paid for my sister and i's education so we went to a private school that was just outside the military base. The only big difference was that everything was in English and, ya know, the culture shock. Anyways, my parents split and bc my dad was active military, my parents decided we needed to live with my mom who wanted to stay in America even tho my dad *had* to make back to NL. So since the military wasn't covering our education anymore, we where suddenly in public school in the US and it was SO DIFFERENT. My first American public school, there where always issues with plumbing, heating, ac, and never enough school supplies. My second public school (bc we had to move) we had 2 active shooters- one who walked around the entire building and pointed a rifle thru the windows at us etc and the second one was a man evading arrest and decided the best thing to do would be to break into our school and hide there. Oh and 1 "bomb threat" which was really a kid who blew up the microwaves in the cafeteria by microwaving a bunch of spoons (??). We had to evacuate the building bc of the fire and stand in 3ft of snow for like 40 minutes. And of coarse, let's not forget the occasional substitute teachers who would hit us or sell us drugs etc. So yeah, the American Dream.

i went to a private highschool, but we were severely underfunded in buildings that were 75 years old. we had leaky ceilings, toilets that didn't flush, brown drinking fountain water and our "sports feild" was just a big lawn in the back of the school. we didn't have uniforms or a phone policy, and while it was technically a christian school, a lot of us swore like sailors and our teachers were very chaotic. most of us were on financial aid driving our parents' old cars and the rich kids that did go there went there because they wanted the chaotic energy, or because the staff was not as adamant about keeping a "perfect private school" image. there were only like 500 students which meant our facilities weren't super crowded and everyone kinda knew everyone, which made making new friends pretty easy because we were all kind of in similar situations either socially or financially. those were some of the best years of my life and we got the best of both worlds: insane public school energy with private school staff and teachers that cared about the wellbeing of their students.

Zoey yelling "Biden!" at the end lmao

[@jameshuey8434]

Great to see you again

[@adracole8727]

My high school was technically a private school but only for kids who couldn’t stop getting in trouble and who were just coming out of jail and weren’t allowed in the main schools. Technically private but worse than public. Fights every day, several gun lock downs, drugs passed in the halls and school yard, assigned bathroom times, no contact, all doors had to be locked when class started. Had a cop stationed in the lobby. We had to do a dress check when we came in. It was wild, students didn’t give a shit. I remember on kid pissed in the trash cause the teacher refused to let him go. Another kid shattered bullet proof glass by punching it, shattered his hand too. Dress code was stricter than public school before uniforms we could only wear jeans with a belt and t shirt or long sleeve, no jewelry, no accessories. I don’t miss it

[@keirancockerill1349]

Great to see you guys uploading again hope you're all doing well! I didn't even know this was a thing but its incredible to see the differences

[@kay_660]

I love your videos these are so entertaining just like you please stay healthy, with lots of love Karina

[@-StrawberryJamJam]

The high school i went to used to be a bowling alley/ night club! They still had the bowling alley in the back but used it for storage.

[@melindabartolazo116]

I am a technologically challenged woman and totally messed up my iPhone! It’s the only device that doesn’t terrify me! Somehow, and I honestly don’t know what I did, but I fixed it. I missed some of your videos and you young ladies ALWAYS made me laugh. I love your personalities and I always click on them the second I see them. I feel like I am hanging out with the two of you!! I just got this video today and also your Christmas Tiktok video! Thank you so much for having such a unique channel that makes me so happy! I am unwell but when I see you ladies and laugh with you, I honestly feel so much better and lifted up!! You two are

[@melindabartolazo116]

So funny and down to Earth!! I can’t wait for your next reactions. Until then I will rewatch many of your past videos!

[@Aibhae]

“Are you kidding me? It looks like a rat!” HAD ME HOLLERING INTO MY PHONE LMAOO

[@mellysomethingclever]

These two are so awesome! I wanna be best friends with them. Their vibes are just *chefs kiss*

[@lorena5619]

you're really the best two people in youtube xd it's just so fun watching you two

[@jacklyv]

So good to see you two again!!! Hope things are getting better zo!!!

[@western-samurai.]

Love all your videos super entertaining ✌🏻

[@robbinmizushima5907]

From my experience, I went to public school for elementary. Then I when I went to middle school for one year at a private school, it was ok. The education was good but it wasn’t good for me mentally. Hardly any friends and no one wanted to be with me. Then after I went to public school, I got to be with friends and now in High School, I feel a lot better.

[@hipgirl25]

Even in the private school world there's elitism between different private schools. So there's levels between a top tier private school and a low tier one but even in some places a low tier one will look just like a public school.

[@ssshark_bait]

As someone who's gone to a public school for my whole life it's pretty accurate lmao the doors are broken constantly usually only one stall works and someone stole the only working toilet in the science hall

[@raquelliborio9892]

The greatest duo of the internet is back!

[@majorkingkong1940]

So glad you're back with those beautiful smiles. I hope everything is going better, and I love you both very much!

[@rhiannn3416]

here in australia there is a difference between public and private schools, but a lot of our public schools also can be quite fancy (especially if they're a highly ranked public school, like mine was).

[@KK-xr5dy]

Best part of public school in Staten Island, New York-pretzel vendors in the hallways. Yes, in between classes we would stop and get an authentic NYC hot pretzel 🥨 -and it was awesome! Take that, spoiled rich kids with your fancy cars!

[@ImmortalGang862]

@ 9:38 sadly nothing is safe from being commodified in the US…not even education or healthcare 😔

[@shanna-leeshaw1942]

That gasp at the black banana killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Notbell25]

My school has no gym, no cafeteria, the ceiling is falling out, it is heated by radiators, ceiling thats there leaks water so we can only uses parts of classrooms, it is also in a rly bad part of town so all you hear are cop sirens all day.

[@Notbell25]

We have to walk so far to use another schools cafeteria and the photo is actually disgusting along with the fact that the swats are always covered in food

[@senecaelizondo2922]

I have always gone to public school and in the south too which makes it even worse. A lot of the teachers are pretty crappy up until high school. Some bathrooms in my high school have no mirrors because people broke them and almost every single bathroom is locked during lunch. Then there is only one bathroom that is unlocked after school because of vandalism and stuff. It's always a minimum of about 80 or 85 degrees outside so if you have PE for an early period then your pretty much screwed. The food has always been really bad. It's either been frozen or spoiled milk, raw meat in the burgers, hair in the food, and fruits that no one would willingly buy. This is kind of just the small stuff that sucks about going to the public schools in my area.

[@hhhhh-me1fb]

I'm a Korean who went to an extremely prestigous private school in Gangnam. I would definitely say I come from a very well off family. In private school, it's all very formal and many rules. They will have high expectations. I would say it doesn't mater what school you go to, you just need to learn and gain knowledge.

[@ryanwoolsey6972]

Hopefully everything is going better, glad y’all are back, sending good vibes from Texas..:)

[@pinkcloud8182]

i went to public school and thankfully the cases like those in these tiktoks were more rare or just funny kinda of every day things (random broken unused lockers, broken doors, a sink that never works properly, graffiti, etc.) it is true though that it’s kind of unfortunate that these things aren’t kept up with but that’s america in general i guess 🥲 from what i know even NYC’s famous subway system was never cleaned until covid happened 😭 it also makes me think… the way the rich students treat their schools stuff vs the average students… when kids get used to things being broken i think it makes them want to take care of those things less. like, if the adults don’t care about upkeep, how are the kids gonna learn to respect the school yk? very fun video idea :’)

[@orchidtea12]

omgggg, I go to a private school, and it is not even remotely CLOSE to the ones in these TikToks!! The campus is not even close to the sizes of those, and the toilets are gross sometimes :P

[@KestralWolfe]

I went to a private Waldorf school in 2nd and 3rd grade. My parents thought that that environment would help me with my mental issues. It did. It was the best chool I've gone to, and at 44 I still remember a lot of that time. The rest was public school till I dropped out Junior year to work. The difference was stark, and depressing. After leaving the Waldorf school, my grades plummeted, my ability to pay attention was at an alltime low, my math comprehension was down, and stayed that way throughout elementary, Junior, and High school. Still, I'd never go to a private school with rich kids. JFC I'd probably have landed in jail for murder. One thing I did learn in school that's helped me survive awful situations, though. Stubbornness and choosing violence. Both of those tactics have served me well throughout a broke life. Fluff, so much good could be done for people with the kind of money private schools charge, but it's all about take-and-grab, all for me, none for you! Sad commentary on capitolism, that's for sure.

[@jeffharper6259]

Missed you both terribly, happy to see you both at the helm once more.

[@patsavala3601]

I went to public school in the states, it was fun and there was always something exciting going on. Btw, our school was overcrowded, 40 students or more each class.

[@afifavie]

sooooo great seeing you guys again!!! and i hope everyone that reading this have good dayyy

[@caseinsane]

Most of those public schools were huge compared to the ones I went to😭 Must be nice

[@titanslammer]

so happy to see ya'll back!

[@wildwitchwest]

honestly aside from the cool buildings there's nothing in the private school videos that appeals to me, especially so many people having the same of everything

[@monyroath]

Public school is one of the most fun experience one can experience in life. Doing stupid things and have fun as teen should be then regret later 😂

[@jinniebread]

we have public schools in hong kong.. but they're always so clean.. 😭😭

[@scribblemeeps]

Also I went to a private school and they couldn’t afford lockers until my senior year and even then it was a rectangle of small lockers

[@MrSibercat]

This public schools look amazing, the high school that i use to go we had Bob wire, security cameras, metal detectors, in 2001

[@alittledove2253]

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK WE MISSED YOU!!!!💜💜

[@nylvn]

6:29 that’s my school 💀

[@Rochelle_Ballah]

Hiii!! Love you two

[@SlRENS]

Definitely depends on where you are. My private school was not as nice and we didn’t get air conditioning until a year after I graduated in 2017. So in CA heat, girls would always be fainting. But the teacher-student ratios were much lower, so we got more 1 on 1 time. Most teachers became like family. I wouldn’t trade it.

[@ShesBats]

😂 So true! They forgot the smokey hall where all the pot and cigarette people hang out. No joke, my high had one, it was the math wig, there was always a fog in the air despite the teachers saying do it outside. Little brats always hit me up for gum because I love mint and always had gum, tic-tacs, mints. My schools were a mess.

[@dualipa4106]

The black banana must be sweet a. f. lmao

[@duwudleshucks723]

public school was pretty nightmare-ish, but definitely entertaining in a way lol. most everyone did hard drugs, especially at school. snorting coke and vaping in the barely usable bathroom. a girl overdosed in front of my friend in the cafeteria. there would be used condoms, broken glass, cigarette butts all over school. one time a kid threw a glass jar at a teachers head and we were put in lock down. another time a girl snitched to faculty and ended up getting her car keyed and tires slashed, so she moved schools. oh and don’t even get me started on the one entrance and one exit parking lot the school had. traffic took an hour to get in before school (which first bell was at 7:15) and an hour to leave after the bells rang. people would fully sprint to the parking lot so they wouldn’t have to deal with traffic.

[@joechiasson8956]

Nice to see you back we have missed you

[@Verceal]

Lol. I remember how there was one year where to many people were scheduled for the same lunch period and there weren't enough chairs. I got yelled at for sitting on the floor and and was brought a small plastic crate to sit on. I couldn't reach the table and my butt hurt more sitting on the crate than the floor.

[@SSSOIFON]

Korean girls react to the boondocks anime 🤣🤣 highly recommended

[@Kaneki6386]

Lmao. The public schools I went to were wayyy worse than the ones shown here. I thought the public schools in this video looked pretty nice tbh 🤣

[@Ribeiro332]

I studied french language in a public college and oh god… when I went to bathroom there were cabins that had not doors or when they had doors some people would write declarations of love. Every time it rained it was hard to go to my class without difficulties and without getting my feet wet. My classroom was hot and full of mosquitoes, sometimes we asked to the teacher to change the room.
