State. And a bog-standard comprehensive! Although both 'state' schools, grammar schools and comprehensive schools are distinctly different... the difference isn't really recognised.

private, but wish id gone state

State comprehensive.

State grammar.

Private. Preferred state when I was in one, and think I got a better overall education there than I do now. Private schools seem to be able to get away with murder, eg, teachers not turning up to lessons, or turning up and then leaving for the rest of the lesson...

state comprehensive.

Private school & the education is fantastic; however, we're not "posh public schoolboys" that inhabit the older Oxbridge colleges and play cricket 24/7 all year round :p:

Arrogant? I've yet to meet a public school student who isn't :rolleyes:

On TSR I actually found an Eton boy - his username's "The Ace is Back" if you're mildly interested.

What the hell was the point of that?

Hehe, you make them sound like some kind of aliens :p:

Most of the Eton boys I've met seem to be pretty normal, tbh.

State comp

Private til 16, state for A Levels. Got me into uni anyway.
The atmosphere was far more relaxed at 6th 4m, there was less arrogance and fewer petty feuds. I loved it.

You were probably bullied at private school.

Don't worry, that happens in my state school all the time. The worst offenders are my music teachers. One of them cancelled a few lessons before Christmas to catch taxis. Another was 40 minutes late to a lesson the other week (and when she is here she browses eBay instead of teaching).
