[@jenpickering]

Slightly wrong, you were comparing private and state. It goes: public, private, grammar, state. If anyone is actually curious, read on 😂 Public: used to be run "by the public" and would charge fees for any scholars who could afford to go. These derived from charity schools. They were not owned by the state and fees paid would be returned into the school. The term public comes from them not being selective based on background (e.g. religion) and so anyone who could afford them and met the selective grade requirements could attend. Private: originally for profit establishments. Now offer an alternative to state schools for those who can afford them. Most have grade requirements also. Grammar: grades based entry with an 11+ being taken to enter. Whilst most are not fees based, some are. State: free and not grade dependent. Independent and Academies: publicly funded schools which can have certain entrance criteria e.g. faith schools. Other: some schools can be state and charge e.g. state boarding schools. Many of the fee paying schools have scholarships based on anything from living circumstances (e.g. foster children) to sporting or academic abilities. Also, regions in the UK then completely screw with all of the above 😂 There we go, a more comprehensive version of what I have previously written for all who were offended the first time 😂

[@AimanIshaq_4_banter_m8]

My take on Grammar schools: Grammar schools are interesting (I've gone to one for the last 5 years) because they take all the best students they can, meaning even if the teachers are bad the students will do well in exams because of that innate ability they were initially chosen for. So there are teachers at my school who can't teach shit and students taught by them still got incredible GCSE results. It's up to the student imo, but the grammar school environment is amazing because you're really competitive with your peers because they're all able minds just like you. Whereas at a school without an entrance exam you will experience mixed abilities of students, so you'll usually not be that competitive because it is relatively more easy to be the best of that bunch(no hate to non-Grammar school kids) but I think that in a grammar school you feel pushed to achieve more. The students and the atmosphere are better motivators than the teachers in my opinion. At the end of the day though, I think it's up to the student. An excellent student will excel everywhere. Sorry about the essay.

Sorry Simon and Randolph, but you did get your terms mixed up. In the UK, there are 2 main types of schooling, other than being homeschooled: State and Independent. State schools are free and are run by the government. This includes both Grammar schools and Academies (Sponsored schools), as well as Comprehensives, and are inspected by Ofsted. Independent schools are Private and Public schools. Private schools are partially funded by both the pupils' families and the government, while Public schools are funded mainly by the pupils' families and charitable donations. Both I think are inspected by the Independent Schools Council. Side-note: Other than a handful of Grammar schools, only Independent schools have the option of Boarding. Hope this helps. 😊

[@jenpickering]

Hey, we also do have a very small handful (38, i just googled it!) of state boarding schools with fees for boarding. I taught at one! But for the vast majority you're right, boarding means private or public!

[@oliverking2169]

This guy barely knows what he’s talking about, he can’t spell grammar correctly😂

[@jenny1992mcfc]

You're right mostly, apart from the Grammar schools; Grammar schools are paid for by the pupils parents and the student needs to pass a test to get into the grammar school. I went to my local state secondary school whilst one of my friends went to Stockport Grammar School where her parents had to pay 10k each term for her to go to it, there's another one locally to me called Kings Grammar School and that's £4.330 per term.

[@willmatthews5861]

Sorry but a public school in England and Wales is a long-established, student-selective, fee-charging independent secondary school that caters primarily for children aged between 11 or 13 and 18, and whose head teacher is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC). So schools like eton, Westminster and Winchester, etc... are all public schools and all hundreds of years old. As an aside Westminster was founded originally by Henry the 8th for the education of 40 poor scholars. Then later re founded in 1561 (I think) by Queen Elizabeth I Om the same principle hence why there are the Queens scholars whereas eton you have the Kings scholars.

[@LittleMMCX]

Some former State-funded Grammar Schools have applied to be an Independent School, so they can be more selective and receive more public-funding. However, generally most Grammar schools are government-run, as up until the 1960s, primary school students had to do a 11+ exam to see if they attended their local Grammar school or the Comprehensive Secondary school. Plus Public schools are not at all funded or run by the state. In fact, some don't even follow the National Curriculum and instead teach a variety of other qualifications, such as the Cambridge Pre-U and International A Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

[@andrewbarnabas6269]

Public Schools are an elite group of private independant schools and are fee-paying schools (Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester, Shrewsbury etc). Private schools are fee-paying schools outside the 'public school' group (Hampton, Habs etc). Grammar schools are state schools with entry requirements and comprehensive schools and state schools requiring no selective entry.

Simon has had a very bad experience with private schools as there are bad ones. If you can’t get into a good one then maybe they are bad but they are worth the money attitudes do change. There are private schools that are notorious for being bad. Mine personally is one of the nicest you can get. I have Saturday school and 8:30 to 6:00. The entrance exam was tough so it is a smart school. People will watch this from a state school only perspective and think private schools are a “waste of money”. I have friends who have been to both and they say the same thing. When they say state schools can be good they will never be as good private as it is funded so heavily. My school is around 20k a year per pupil with 800-900 pupils but a good state school will never be near that.

Here's a fun little history lesson on the whole "private school, public school, state school" thing - because, _really_ , what the hell is the difference? Well, back in the day, when education was only for the extremely wealthy, if you wanted an education, you'd have to hire a tutor and learn in your home. But when the middle class started growing, and more people wanted education, they set up schools that anyone (with enough money) could go to, and they wouldn't have to get a private tutor. They were called public schools because, unlike the private in-home education that the extremely wealthy opted for, they were *public* for anyone to use. They didn't get cheaper... so that's why they're so expensive nowadays. I even heard on Ed Miliband's podcast that they still get a lot of subsidisation from the government...

If there's more of a change toward wellbeing etc on the curriculum - in theory I think it's a great idea but it also excludes those who don't test well.... Idk just a thought x

[@liacartwright5115]

I went to what was called a grammar school but it was more like a private school, I only went there in high school and I am now in a public college, I 100% prefer public school as in my high school there was a lot of people who thought they were better than others (I’m not from a wealthy family, my aunt payed for me to go there) and there was a lot of separation. I don’t think the grades were better than public school, a lot of people were very unintelligent but got in because they paid. The school was very corrupt, if you payed to get in your grades could be lower but if you didn’t it was very hard to get in (that’s probably the only reason I got in). My school cost more than uni and it was totally not worth it, it doesn’t teach you any life skills and you are kept in a bubble, I broke out of the bubble when I went to a public college and it was a massive change, I feel I was kept back as it didn’t offer any subjects other than the standard academic subjects, I would rather have done psychology but it wasn’t offered. Overall I feel that private school is good if you are going to be protected by your parents your whole life but for someone like me who isn’t, it was ver horrible

[@liacartwright5115]

My school resented anyone who didn’t do netball or football, if you weren’t sporty they didn’t have any need for you, anyone who was only mediocre academically and didn’t do sports was ignored and when I was bullied there, they told me that it was my fault and not those that were bullying me. I remember once I was on a school trip to Paris and there was a park at the place we were staying and I was sat in the middle of the roundabout and a girl started spinning it, everyone else got off and she spun it faster to the point where I couldn’t even see what was around me it was just white, when it slowed down I started throwing up and they just laughed ( I don’t get sick from dizziness ever ) when I tried to tell someone they laughed it off as just messing around. There were multiple other instances where I was the one sent to counselling on the account of it being my fault when I had done nothing wrong, there was a girl in my friendship group who hated me but didn’t show it to anyone else so when I started speaking up about things that she was doing to me (even just dirty looks, but when you’ve done nothing wrong and it’s all the time it’s torturing) they stuck up for her. My school was very biased and even when I was told to die they did nothing about it.

Otakar Polak well it’s not one that you pay for. Put after 6th grade you either go to the “gymnasium” up to 12th grade abs get a degree you can go to university with (like me) or you stay at the other part up to 10th grade and get that degree, with which you can’t study at a university with. However, you don’t need a specific grade to get that “higher education” and as long as you pass 6th grade, you can go and if you don’t pass 7th grade in that “higher” beach of education, you will be set back to the other one. So as long as you keep yourself barely up and just barely pass, you can go up to 12th grade.

Yo I'm currently in year 11 and from year 7-9 I was in a grammar school and since year 10 I've been in a public school. What I will say is grammar school push you to get good grades but they push you too much. You will get good grades but won't have a social life. In a public school I feel way more social but I also think that I'm not learning much.

tbh, a good friend of mine goes to an all boys grammar school, he’s naturally very clever as are lots of people around him. but a great majority of the people there were clever at 11 when they did the entry test but like any school, different people let themselves go and stop trying. it really all depends on the person i think and not the school

[@joyelgeorge1858]

I go to private school on a scholarship which enables me to go without having to pay anything. From my situation, I feel privileged to have this and feel that my education is truly better than that of my friends which go to a kind of grammar school (entrance exam but not recognized as a grammar school). However for the money, I don't think it is completely worth all of that money, but it is certainly a bonus to me,

I go to a private all girls school in Australia. It is not funded by the government and that’s why it’s pretty expensive. There is an all boys school nearby and we do musicals and dances together. It is a catholic school but there are many different religions at my school. There were no entrance exams you pretty much just had to be able to pay.

Think the belief Grammar Schools are good is flawed. Having attended one, the Grammar School created a divide between those who got in & those who didn't immediately. The football team I played for before become divided between the two groups, despite nothing changing between us. Also, the idea that 'anyone' whose smart enough get into Grammar School is also wrong. The exam to get in means wealth parents pay large amounts of money for their kids to get tutored & they can afford to send them to board, or to move closer within the school's catchment area, increasing their chance of getting in. So all in all, grammar schools are just a middle class little bubble.

In England, we go from 4 to 16 and you have to learn something for the next two years but it doesn't have to be in a school. For example, you can get a apprenticeship however, most people do two more years at school that is called sixth form until they're 18

No after year 11 we have something called sixth form, it is from year 12-13. It is not compulsory but most people do it especially if they have passed their GCSE’s and have an actuall career in mind.

A public school is an elite school which tends to have an option of boys to board. There are about 30 in the UK

[@AlanSaulson]

Yeah Definitely homeschooling is the best option, if you have the option. since I am homeschooled and it’s kinda weird how no one is talking about it lol (reasons for it is 1on1 teaching, more relaxed schedule, and more. But it does require a parent or a good teacher)

I went to a private nursery and primary, 2 different high schools first one was private, went only for a year and a bit then went to a grammar school (secondary). preferred it, wasn't that strict except for grades. My sister had a full private education, you didn't have do to PE in her school if you didn't want to. You could literally do anything you wanted. I visited a few times and people get away with a lot. Not surprised with how much you had to pay but it wasn't government funded. Obviously.

iLikeJam Gaming Losing your virginity at 7-11?! That's just false and only people who went to private schools say that, at that age studying isn't a priority. It should be mixed since it reflects adult life and you learn social skills. A lot of people have a hard time already interacting with the opposite sex which is due to segregation at an early age.

[@liljaraine]

iLikeJam Gaming I see your point but if you were lgbt 🏳️‍🌈 imagine being in that environment. By having more than one gender you can learn about yourself and that is a crucial part of development. As well as stereotypes are gonna be more enforced and if you are slightly more masculine or feminine than a stereotype you stand out more. As well as developing respect and seeing others as equal

[@claraoakley7420]

I'm in year 12 at a grammar school, and it's alright, but you do still have a much higher percentage of richer kids because the 11+ (the exam you do to get in) realistically needs tutoring to pass, which is up to individual families to pay for. Although, the lessons etc are good because generally most people are more academic and so it's a more focused atmosphere. The other major negative is the pressure put on results - some people really don't cope well, and the amount of people who struggle with mental health issues is really high (particularly anxiety, self-healing and depression). Also, the majority of grammar schools are single sex so it doesn't resolve that issue either.

[@plankman004]
