Public school pupils

I was just wondering if any other people who are at a public school feel discrimination from other people? I don't majorly, but i think it'll b worse at uni. I wouldn't hv changed my education for the world, it's been a blast. My friends r awesome.

Do people at state school feel jealous or have opinions about people at public schools?

Feel free to say exactly how you feel.

lol all we get is 'you are so f***ing stupid your schools a ****hole...' (wrote than in my english paper ) lol we do get discrimated against academically but musically and athletically we dont....which isnt too bad i suppose, also my schools nicknamed Holiday Tramp Camp.... lol xoxo

I don't think the examiners would like it if you swear.

I don't think this public school pupils thing would happen at uni, as everyone is kind of treated equally.

lol!!!! i dont care i was wiritng a letter to the govenor apparently......it was funny though ^_^ xoxo

Naughty, lol. Hopefully you would still pass english. At least you could write in a way that is similar to swear words, but not using swear words.

lol not really because thats what they do actually say to us haha!.... but if i fail i can get another go at it in november xoxo

A school swearing to you? That doesn't happen in our school. Yeah, you get to resit it in November. At least you just swore in one writing section. I want to read the examiners report about the writing section, it will say 'it is surprising that some students write swear words in the 'informing' question for section B, and they are discouraged to do that'.

I went to a state school, had the opportunity to go to a private school or the local grammar school by taking the 11 plus exams, but i chose to go to a state school as i felt it would be beneficial to learn how to teach myself. It annoys me when people say that those at 'state schools' are envious of those at private or public schools, what reason do they have? The fact that their education was free, rather than paid for? It makes no odds, if you work hard you have no reason to feel envious because you will be getting the grades due to your own hard work not the pressure of a strict environment. There is a great deal of good in public and private schools, just as there is in attending a state school, it really depends on the person. However i pride myself on the fact that my parents had enough faith in me not to send me somewhere where i would be forced to work, allowing me to get good grades off my own back and not off being pushed for 7 years of my life. I'm not saying that those that attend paying schools aren't the same, i know a lot of people can work extremely hard without being pushed, but at the same time, a lot of parents send their children to private schools so that their children can be forced to work.

*******s! You were thinking like that at 11? I doubt it somehow, either that or I was completely backward and my peers too.

I have friends from both independent and state schools, there is no bad sentiment at all, i would never judge a person whether they went to state or public school...

Tammy, stop saying "lol", it makes my eyes squint just to read it.

I agree with Bisha - private school is not an easy ride and I for one have not been pushed. Yes there are standards (ie: at my last school, work had to be in the next morning - if it wasnt and you did this 3 times - detention). At my current school there are standards and in the 6th form like any other 6th form - its your choice - you don't do the work, you suffer the consequences.

I wasn't pushed at all through my GCSEs - yes I was given extra work because I had the work hard ethic that my other mates lacked - and it paid off.

After being at private school for my entire life (6months in a state primary being the exception), I have had some snide comments - most notably when you're playing netball in tournements and you're the only private school team there. All of us just ignored it and carried on.

I dont think its jealously, its more "oooooooo, you're so posh etc" Its the sterotyping that gets me and always has. The majority of people at private school are down to earth normal people who are there because their parents are prepared to pay for education.

Surely if there wasn't a need for private education they wouldn't be private schools. I think this government really needs to sort themselves out fast
