I went to an all-girl Catholic high school. It was considered a private school. I don't think we were allowed to wear makeup until either Junior or Senior year. We could not wear jewelry until Senior year and then it was very limited. We also wore knee socks until Senior year when it was mandatory to wear skin-tone nylons. I graduated in 1970, so I have no idea what the Catholic schools are like now. I had to wear a uniform which changed every two years. I actually liked my uniforms. The first two years was a blue plaid pleated skirt, white blouse, and a royal blue blazer. Junior and senior years, we basically had a 3-piece suit. It consisted of an a-lline cranberry skirt, white blouse, cranberry vest, and cranberry blazer. We had mostly nuns for our teachers with a few lay teachers. My graduating class, which started out a little over 200, ended up with 196, and this was in the city of Chicago. While I was in the U.S. Air Force, I worked with a guy who was from North Carolina. His public high school covered 3 counties within the state. His entire class consisted of 14 girls and 6 boys. So it all depends on where you live.
I graduated in 2009 and always went to Catholic schools. In high school it was very relaxed as far as makeup and jewelry and piercings went and you could dye your hair any natural color. And I only wore skirts up until I was maybe 10 but I don’t think it was ever a requirement. My uniform was always a white polo and either a specific school skirt/khaki or black pants (depending on the school) and black shoes. In high school we got to wear whatever shoes we wanted. My mom has been a Catholic school teacher for almost 20 years but she’s always taught kindergarten and first grade so rules are different but I’d bet they don’t allow makeup, haha!
@@andreamerlin223 I thought you were talking to me for a moment since my name is Catherine and I went to a Our Lady of Lourdes school! I’m from a different area of the country and was born in ‘91 but I thought I met someone from my school for a moment! 😂
I went to 12 years of Catholic School in the 1960s and 70s and girls were not really allowed to wear makeup. They could put a little bit on but if it was very noticeable they got in trouble
Based on the length of the skirts and the fact they only learn Latin, I’m pretty sure this is a catholic school. Many Christian private schools are small like this one. Other non religiously affiliated private schools can vary in size and be as large as a public school.
The Thacher school (private boarding High school) Established in 1889 Ojai, California Old western philosophy of education Riding a horse and shooting is still part of the curriculum. Gun club and two shooting ranges. (trap and target) coat and tie required for dinner. Many famous and historical alumni. One of the top schools in the country. Students came from all over the world. It was an amazing experience and I feel very fortunate.
I went to public schools. My daughter went to private school for high school (grades 9-12). Her school was four hours away and she was a boarding student (lived in a dorm at school). She would not have done well socially in our district’s high school. Her strengths were in academics as opposed to sports or choral arts. She thrived at the school and, at age 34, still says it was the best thing ever. There were about 50 students in her all-girls school (grades 8-12) and uniforms were required. She had almost a full scholarship (tuition and board was $33,000 per year). My son has a very different personality from my daughter and was having health issues by the time he entered high school so he stayed local. After we figured out the main part of his health issues and got that under control, he played football and wrestled in 11th grade, but unfortunately developed more health issues to the point that he finished high school online. The most important thing is that they are both productive and responsible members of society and care about others. My daughter and I drove up to see my mother this weekend (my daughter and I live in the same city) and my son joined us for Saturday afternoon and early evening (he lives 90 miles from me and about 90 miles from my mother).
I went to public schools which were in the top 3% of the nation. My husband went to private school. My dad went to private Catholic schools where he was hit by nuns. My children attend private school along with the majority of my friend's children. All private schools are different just as public schools are different.
My daughter attends a private non-denominational Christian school in our small town in Georgia. In her 1st grade level there are 30ish kids spread across 2 classes. I think there will be 18 graduating seniors this year. Over the last few years enrollment numbers in the lower school has been steadily climbing, and more students are attending all the way through high school. They don’t wear uniforms, or have cafeteria service. Their lunch is either sent from home or ordered through a catering company. Athletics are big, most students participate in at least 1 sport. I’ve never seen high school aged kids playing at recess unless they were doing mentoring activities with the little ones. This video shows a very different picture from what our experience is.
I used to go to a private school as a child. To a degree the uniform was useful. My problem was when I wasn't wearing uniform. I couldn't handle not wearing uniform. I went to public after a certain point but I never wore makeup. Public school took me time to get used to.
I went to a small public high-school. I had friends from the city go to school with me for a day, they were surprised by how much nicer everything was. Fewer students = less misconduct. It also means more 1 on 1 help from the teacher. Usually small schools are not well funded but our community was tight knit and the businesses donated more than the state did.
I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I wore this same plaid uniform in grade school, ours was brown, high school was a green herringbone.We wore our shirts much shorter. From 1st to 8th grade there were 24 of us. My senior class was 116 and was the largest ever to graduate because two neighboring towns closed their Catholic schools. I graduated in 1981 😊
Most Americans kids also go to public school but there is an extensive system of Catholic schools that are technically "private" but generally open to anybody who wants to attend and not prohibitively expensive. In big cities a lot of kids of all religions go to them because the public schools are awful. Also, in a growing number of states there is a subsidy for kids seeking to attend private schools which amounts to roughly the amount the state pays per student at public schools. And a few, like Arizona, have other forms of tax subsidies. The end result is you get to pick where your tax dollars for schools go: Public or private. And a lot of parents pick private if the public schools are really bad as too many are.
Public schools offer Advanced Placement courses which offers college level classes to high school students. Not all Private school offer Advanced Placement courses.
Yes they do. They tend to have more options in that realm than public school. That was part of the reason my parents chose them. My junior high was high, for example, had high school level math, so, by the time we got to high school, we were nearly complete w standardized tests & everything. They also helped us get into high school level competitive academic extra curriculum, like essay contests, that came w scholarship prizes. Public school makes it difficult to customize curriculum unless you are in a specialized school or program.
My son went to a very small private Christian school for 2 years. There were only 8 students in the 5th grade. It was perfect for him at that time. Middle school is a very difficult for some kids, but the very small school and 1:8 teacher to student ratio got him through that very awkward age. We were lucky and got a scholarship for him to attend.
My 4 children went to a small public school. I have two daughters who have several degrees and went on to become nurses. My two sons got their engineering degrees and have done quit well.
My son found the last 2 years of his university education a bit difficult. This was because of his private school education he was able to "float" along for the first 2 years because he already had covered the subjects in the private high school..
The first 2 of university years are a review of your last 2 years of a high school college prep program. If you want to, you can test out of those courses and substitute some other courses for them.
Andre- I went to a private school...Catholic. Back in my day,. We had nuns teaching. However, due to changing situations, there is now a strong shortage of nuns. The school I went to is still open, but because they have to hire lay teachers, (and pay them) it is almost as expensive as college! We all hated going there, but I must say, I got a good education.
I graduated HS in 2009 and I never found it too strict and I’d only ever gone the Catholic schools. Then again, I’m not a rule breaker by any means so it wasn’t hard 😂

Please react to the (paramedic force 5 bridge creek and moore, Oklahoma tornado May 3 1999). It's the first responders response to the 1999 moore, Oklahoma F5 tornando. I currently work as an EMT with EMSA in tulsa, Oklahoma. We use this video for training new hires on mass casualty response. The camera crews riding with these ambulance crews were making a Tv show on the day and life of first responders the day moore got hit. Most people have no idea what happen in the aftermath of a tornado. This video is a great watch to understand what it takes to triage a mass casualty incident.
I went to several schools. Even experimental ones. My father worked for LBJ. I was born in Alaska and raised all over the lower 48. Went to 4 different schools in one year. So none really stands out to me.
At my private middle school, I got to share a big locker with my best friend. We discovered that old yearbooks were the perfect size to make a shelf inside (one on each side, one across the top). We could make as many cubbies that way as would fit. Also had a piece of chalkboard style contact paper on the inside, so we could leave notes for each other with chalk.
I only ever went to public schools. I was so SHOCKED, first day of 6th grade, no one told me there was no more recess!!!!! WTH? You would think someone would have given me a heads-up!!!
My oldest brother got his driver's license, an after-school job, and a car when he was 16-17. He took me and my other brother to/from school each day until he went to college. Then my other brother got a summer job, bought a car, and drove me to and from school. We lived in a very rural area and our bus route took over 1 hour!!! If we didn't drive ourselves, we would have had to be waiting for the bus in the dark. We wouldn't get home until after 4:00 pm. In 6th-12 grades, we each had our own large locker. No kid carried backpacks!!!
I went to private school 10th - 12th grade. My dad was the principal. My sr. (12th grade) Class was me and 4 others. It was wonderful, and I'm so glad I never had to go to public highschool.
I pulled my daughter from the public education system (crap education) and placed her in a private school! There is more work, and it is harder, but because the classes are so much smaller, she gets more individual attention and does way better in her now AP classes! She went from struggling with basic math and reading comprehension in gradeschool to being an honors student and making straight A's! The structure and discipline are also better! In the public schools around here now, no longer hold kids back because of social stigma and hurt feelings! I pulled my daughter not only because of her struggle and all they wanted was to keep moving on no matter how many kids fell behind, but the kids were going wild! She would send me pictures of where her classmates (10) were flipping desks, writing on walls, fighting, etc! Nope, my kid will not be a part of that mess! BTW, we pay just a bit over $20,000 a year, and it's worth every penny!
I went to public school and both my daughter and son went to public school. Our oublic school system offeres AP ( advanced placement ) classes and my daughter took AP English , Spanish , Chemistry, Biology and Human anatomy, Calculus AB & BC . Her AP Biology, and Human Anatomy class even disected a human cadaver her senior year at the School of Osteopathic Medicine and my daughter started college as a sophmore with all of the AP credits she had .
In my experience people that went to public schools are way more maladjusted than the ones that went to private schools. American public schools are crappy
Oh my. This is another of your marvelous videos that makes me want to write a lot here. I'm so sorry. First, my own school experience involves public/private schools, one alternative school consisting of about 20 students, and two years of public community college. Generally speaking, one public school in the US isn't like the next, but private schools are not all the same, either. Similarly, one community college program is not the same as another community college program, even in the same college. One point regarding civics that is fascinating to me surfaces in your video when the students begin to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. This is where my comment gets longer. We recited that pledge every morning in all of my schools save for the alternative school and college, as did students throughout the nation. While doing so, the right hand is placed over the heart, as I'm sure you know. I was a child in the 1960s, and that was quite a few years after a relevant Supreme Court decision, West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943). The conflict had to do with freedom of religion, which is addressed in the First Amendment of our constitution. Briefly, the Barnette family members were Jehovah's Witnesses, and the JW church teaches that it's wrong to salute the flag. They won, and with that, an earlier Supreme Court decision on the subject, Minersville School District v. Gobitis (1940), was overturned. For more than one reason, there's an entire civics discussion surrounding those Supreme Court decisions, and I would talk about freedom of speech as well as of religion, also addressed in the First Amendment.The freedom to openly dissent implies the freedom not to say or do anything at all. I didn't always think this way, but the wording of the pledge is not my wording. I didn't author it. I buy into it, but if I say or do anything, I prefer to use my own words and express my own ideas at a time of my choosing. Telling me I have to recite the pledge on command, and that I have to put my right hand over my heart, is forced or coerced political speech. I would want my child to have a sound civics education, but I would not want my child to be pressured into making a statement about patriotism. That's the very antithesis of the concept of freedom of speech. I'm an atheist, but people who are religious, and who believe that God doesn't want them to take oaths and make political statements, should not be forced to do so. What is the point of a constitutional guarantee that one has the freedom to worship as they see fit, if we're only going to tell them they're not allowed to do that? The Barnette decision was ignored across the United States, but another bullet point in the civics discussion is that it was decided in the middle of WWII, when the call to behave patriotically (by those who were not isolationists) was imbued with a particular passion. There is no way we would have stopped reciting the pledge in school during the middle of a world war in which we were -- at that point -- actively engaged. Getting off my soapbox now.
Since we are a capitalist and democratic country, if someone wants to build a private school, they can. It doesn't have to have a minimum number of students or a maximum tuition rate. As long as the students are being provided with the state's requirements, it's the right of the parents to choose their child's educational setting. Private schools usually have a much smaller population than public schools. That is a less stressful environment than our huge public schools. If your child needs that and you can afford it, that's great.
I went to private elementary (ages 5-11), and private middle school (ages 12-14). However, I really needed a quicker pace, harder work, so I went to a "magnet" public high school (ages 15-18) that had the International Baccalaureate Program. The "magnet" part just means it's the only school in the area that has something (could be drama, IB, debate) - something that you wanted to participate in, but your assigned school doesn't do/have.
My dad was in the US Air Force, which means I attended child care, preschool, elementary, and half of junior high school inside of several military bases while I grew up. I say several schools because usually after 3 years due to my dad's job, we moved to a new state or county's US military base. I think it wasn't until my parents divorced that I attended a regular public junior high and high school.😊
Private schools are always smaller but they really range in size. This is a very small one. Public school you don’t wear uniforms but a lot of private schools you do. And like Portugal about 90% of American kids go to public school.
My friendships from catholic school were very close, too. The class sizes tend to be a lot smaller than public, So that plays a factor. It was an all girls school, which is part of the dynamic bc it wasn’t like that in my grammar school which was private & mixed sex. You don’t worry about how you look or eating too much at lunch. They served really gooey fresh chocalate chip at breakfast every morning, & the entire school wld cookies at breakfast & it’s all everyone ate. The game was always trying to get the most undercooked, soupy one. Something like that wld have never Happened if boys were there watching. You can have very honest conversations and there’s no feeling of competition. Can’t recall there ever being a serious screaming match, let alone a physical altercation, which is common in public school. It’s more innocent and affectionate bc everyday is like a sleepover. I’m still friends w by two best friends from hs at 40. 😂
I graduated in 1982 from an all girl Catholic High School in Chicago. Limited make up and jewelry. Uniforms with knee socks or nylons. Crepe soled shoes only. (Don't want to mess up the wax on the tile floors!) Lol. NO BOYS'CLASS RINGS OR ENGAGEMENT RINGS! Until the last few weeks of snior year. It was amazing how many diamond chips showed up!
now you will see luxury. 98% of us go to public school until now we will be giving parents a choice by using vouchers to send theirkids to the school of their choice
We sent all three of our kids to catholic school (k-8). The classes were smaller. But we made the decision to send them to public high school since we were in a good school district. It saved us 21,000.00 a year which we could put towards college.
years later after high school my daughter still has frequent get togethers with her group of high school friends. They are located around the country and world but still manage to meet.
I went to private, and I loved/hated it. In my school bullying was encouraged, because it toughened you up, supposedly. However, I found public school was just as bad.
I think she said there were 14 students in the high school, but the school serves all ages, from elementary school to high school, so the total student body is more than 14.
My K-8 (ages ~5-13) only had 100 kids and in my last year there was only 13 of us. In high school (ages ~14-17) there was 400 of us. This is pretty close to what my school was like.
My kids went to a private school that only had 5 kids total at one point! My husband went to the same school and his graduating class was 2 people!! Him and another boy! I went to a huge public high school and my graduating class was like 900 people!!!
I went to Lutheran schools K-12. We didn't have to wear uniforms, but we did have a dress code. Our lockers were about that size. My locker was upstairs, and my friend's was downstairs, so we used each other's lockers to store our books and materials for the classes on that floor.
I went to a private school up until my junior year and loved it. Finished in public school and hated it, not that it was bad but it was definitely different.
I went to a private Lutheran school until high school & am thankful I did. The education and atmosphere was just better and more conductive to learning. We didn’t wear uniforms like that, but we definitely had a stricter dress code than what’s allowed in most public schools.
Putting on make up is not a part of private school, but part of being a girl. 😂. Many private schools are also church affiliated schools… you still pay a yearly tuition, but they are not as expensive as exclusive private schools that the rich send their children.
Private schools have uniforms...everyone wears an outfit every day otherwise we would be out in our underwear. Public school has no uniforms unless you're in a lower income area and it's cheaper to purchase than regular clothes
I’m pretty sure she attends a Catholic school because I saw a crucifix on the wall and also the number of students, it’s may be a kindergarten through 12th grade school. Also they’re learning Latin, not a language you would normally see offered in a public school. The different flags might be something they’ve studying or discussing students ancestry. My son attended a private school that was K-8 and then boys went to an all boys private school and the girls to an all girls private school.
I went to a private school. My family was in no way rich. Three kids in school at the same time. I don't know how much it was in the 80s-90s when i went but now my daughter goes to the same school and it's $5k/year. I make $35k/year and I put all holiday pay and quarterly bonuses into her school tuition so i only pay half with my regular paychecks. It can be done on a smaller income, you just have to decide what is important for your family 😁
Private schools are not cheap and like only the rich can normally afford it unless you get a scholarship. And a lot of the private schools are religious based. Like catholic or lutheran.
I have 2 boys that are all grown up now but the oldest one was home schooled where I controlled the teaching and the younger one he was in charter school where also he was home but did class through a computer. I don't regret any of it school now days are a mess. The nice thing was everything was free even the laptop and printer and the books everything was free. Charter school was much nicer than home school.
Private school here is probably a little more popular than that. Certainly it isn't that common either. Private is for the well-to-do or very determined middle class. I think she is saying that there are 14 students in her high school. But there is a primary school there as well.
I graduated from a private high school. It was a little bigger. My graduating class had only 27 students. So only about 100 students in the whole high school.
I mostly went to Catholic schools. My elementary school shut down (they don't all make a lot of money), so I went to public school in 8th grade. I felt the teachers were really weak, I could literally say I learned nothing, and the kids were either violent, or shut down because of the violence. I begged my mom to go to our local Catholic high school, got a work scholorship, meaning I worked at the school after school and sometimes lunch to lower the tuition and got a job at a snack bar to help pay for tuition. Our public schools vary greatly. Some are very good, it just wasn't like that where I was. I was not built to be as tough as you have to be able n most public schools. I can't handle bullies. I love be Swings😃 And yes, I drove at 16, saved up money for a car so I could get a car by 18, so I could get a better job. You have to have a car to have a job in many parts of U.S. I did go to publishing c summer school. This was back in the '70's and summer school was open to everyone and kidstook classes they actually wanted, so they wanted to be there.
Locker size depends on school size, around here the public shool lockers are that size. 14 people in high school which is 4 different class years. Private schools are extremely small because not many people can afford the cost of private schools which cost the same as college. The only private schools around here are Christian schools, and there are 3 of those, there was a Catholic school as well but that shut down a few years ago.
WENT TO PUBLIC SCHOOL...ONLY 52 IN MY SENIOR CLASS....IN THE FIRST GRADE, IWENT TO A ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE WITH 10 SEATS IN 4 ROWS, EACH ROW BEING A GRADE...1-4
I went to a private all girl school for my freshman & sophomore years of Highschool (9th & 10th grades). The rest of my schooling was in public school. My private school had way more students than this school. But it was still a little bit less than the public schools, and we didn't have a sports team, and our band was combined with the close by all male private school. My neighborhood public schools sucked. I lived in a low income neighborhood & required special education, and my neighborhood school didn't have the needed resources, so I was bussed to a school in a different neighborhood for 3rd through 6th grade. Because of a mixup in my transfer to another school that I would be bussed to, I was forced to go to my neighborhood school for 7th and 8th grade. It wasn't too bad, but after my 2 years of private school, I was able to go to a school outside of my neighborhood for my junior & senior years (11th & 12th grades) of Highschool. At my private schools, each grade wore different uniforms.
I went to public school....private school is ridiculously expensive & completely different than public school....in public school you can wear whatever you want to for the most part but in private school has mandatory uniforms that you have buy yourself on top of the tuition....even catholic private schools are completely different than public schools....I'm shocked to see lockers cus here in Southwest Arizona they took them out or didn't allow us to use them....o its a private school that has all grades which is definitely not a common thing that usually only happens if its a small community
I went to 12 years of private school and my parents paid for five children to go to private school. We had to get dressed up every day I had to wear dress pants and a dress shirt and tie and dress shoes❤
I went to public school but I dated a girl in private school. They got scholarships. Also, private school is where the families with money sent their kids when they got kicked of public school.
1960. I went to a Catholic, private high school. My wife-to-be went to small public (owned by a small Great Smokey Mountain college and on campus) k-12. I think maybe she had a slightly better education.
It definately looks like a catholic school. The ones i know of if you are catholic the tuition is a little lower, than non catholic students. It also depends on where tthis school is as to how big they are. A friend of mine who lives in california had her kids in catholic school where there was a big catholic population, most of the students where, philipino and latino, and the school was huge.
It’s slightly cheaper if your family is part of a parish and shows paperwork to confirm it. I graduated in ‘09 and I’m not a practicing Catholic, but that’s how it worked from what I remember.
I went to an all-girl Catholic high school. It was considered a private school. I don't think we were allowed to wear makeup until either Junior or Senior year. We could not wear jewelry until Senior year and then it was very limited. We also wore knee socks until Senior year when it was mandatory to wear skin-tone nylons. I graduated in 1970, so I have no idea what the Catholic schools are like now. I had to wear a uniform which changed every two years. I actually liked my uniforms. The first two years was a blue plaid pleated skirt, white blouse, and a royal blue blazer. Junior and senior years, we basically had a 3-piece suit. It consisted of an a-lline cranberry skirt, white blouse, cranberry vest, and cranberry blazer. We had mostly nuns for our teachers with a few lay teachers. My graduating class, which started out a little over 200, ended up with 196, and this was in the city of Chicago. While I was in the U.S. Air Force, I worked with a guy who was from North Carolina. His public high school covered 3 counties within the state. His entire class consisted of 14 girls and 6 boys. So it all depends on where you live.
I graduated in 2009 and always went to Catholic schools. In high school it was very relaxed as far as makeup and jewelry and piercings went and you could dye your hair any natural color. And I only wore skirts up until I was maybe 10 but I don’t think it was ever a requirement. My uniform was always a white polo and either a specific school skirt/khaki or black pants (depending on the school) and black shoes. In high school we got to wear whatever shoes we wanted.
My mom has been a Catholic school teacher for almost 20 years but she’s always taught kindergarten and first grade so rules are different but I’d bet they don’t allow makeup, haha!
Kathleen, did you go to Lourdes? Your uniform sounds similar to mine. All girl Catholic. Class of 71.
@@andreamerlin223 I thought you were talking to me for a moment since my name is Catherine and I went to a Our Lady of Lourdes school! I’m from a different area of the country and was born in ‘91 but I thought I met someone from my school for a moment! 😂

Based on the length of the skirts and the fact they only learn Latin, I’m pretty sure this is a catholic school. Many Christian private schools are small like this one. Other non religiously affiliated private schools can vary in size and be as large as a public school.
Yes. Latin is fairly standard in catholic school.
Based on the Crucifix on the wall, I figured it was a Catholic school😁
The Thacher school (private boarding High school)
Established in 1889
Ojai, California
Old western philosophy of education
Riding a horse and shooting is still part of the curriculum.
Gun club and two shooting ranges.
(trap and target)
coat and tie required for dinner.
Many famous and historical alumni.
One of the top schools in the country.
Students came from all over the world.
It was an amazing experience and I feel very fortunate.
Not sure how it is in Portugal, but here, many private schools will offer scholarships to kids who can't afford the tuition.

I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I wore this same plaid uniform in grade school, ours was brown, high school was a green herringbone.We wore our shirts much shorter. From 1st to 8th grade there were 24 of us. My senior class was 116 and was the largest ever to graduate because two neighboring towns closed their Catholic schools. I graduated in 1981 😊
Most Americans kids also go to public school but there is an extensive system of Catholic schools that are technically "private" but generally open to anybody who wants to attend and not prohibitively expensive. In big cities a lot of kids of all religions go to them because the public schools are awful.
Also, in a growing number of states there is a subsidy for kids seeking to attend private schools which amounts to roughly the amount the state pays per student at public schools. And a few, like Arizona, have other forms of tax subsidies. The end result is you get to pick where your tax dollars for schools go: Public or private. And a lot of parents pick private if the public schools are really bad as too many are.
Public schools offer Advanced Placement courses which offers college level classes to high school students. Not all Private school offer Advanced Placement courses.
Yes they do.
They tend to have more options in that realm than public school. That was part of the reason my parents chose them.
My junior high was high, for example, had high school level math, so, by the time we got to high school, we were nearly complete w standardized tests & everything. They also helped us get into high school level competitive academic extra curriculum, like essay contests, that came w scholarship prizes.
Public school makes it difficult to customize curriculum unless you are in a specialized school or program.
My son went to a very small private Christian school for 2 years. There were only 8 students in the 5th grade. It was perfect for him at that time. Middle school is a very difficult for some kids, but the very small school and 1:8 teacher to student ratio got him through that very awkward age.
We were lucky and got a scholarship for him to attend.
They might have a German and British flag because it could be a language class or possibly a geography class😮
My 4 children went to a small public school. I have two daughters who have several degrees and went on to become nurses. My two sons got their engineering degrees and have done quit well.
My son found the last 2 years of his university education a bit difficult. This was because of his private school education he was able to "float" along for the first 2 years because he already had covered the subjects in the private high school..
The first 2 of university years are a review of your last 2 years of a high school college prep program. If you want to, you can test out of those courses and substitute some other courses for them.
I went to private Catholic school for 9 years. Then slept though public school, even though it was a good school.
Andre- I went to a private school...Catholic. Back in my day,. We had nuns teaching. However, due to changing situations, there is now a strong shortage of nuns. The school I went to is still open, but because they have to hire lay teachers, (and pay them) it is almost as expensive as college! We all hated going there, but I must say, I got a good education.
I had the impression that private school was a lot more strict but they seem to have a lot of fun.
I graduated HS in 2009 and I never found it too strict and I’d only ever gone the Catholic schools. Then again, I’m not a rule breaker by any means so it wasn’t hard 😂
@@starparodier91 I went to public school but same
@@dicerosautismambient4894 Also I’m gonna assume by your username you’re autistic? So am I 😊
It's most likely because it's a small school and obviously isn't run by Nuns.

Please react to the (paramedic force 5 bridge creek and moore, Oklahoma tornado May 3 1999). It's the first responders response to the 1999 moore, Oklahoma F5 tornando. I currently work as an EMT with EMSA in tulsa, Oklahoma. We use this video for training new hires on mass casualty response. The camera crews riding with these ambulance crews were making a Tv show on the day and life of first responders the day moore got hit. Most people have no idea what happen in the aftermath of a tornado. This video is a great watch to understand what it takes to triage a mass casualty incident.
The private school had only 600-700 students. Grade 1 to Grade 12. He is doing well, now a PHD doing research in cancer.
I drove to school at 16. Public school. It's very normal.
I started driving when I was 13 and 14. I grew up on a Dairy farm. I had a farmer's license. William s
I went to several schools. Even experimental ones. My father worked for LBJ. I was born in Alaska and raised all over the lower 48. Went to 4 different schools in one year. So none really stands out to me.
At my private middle school, I got to share a big locker with my best friend. We discovered that old yearbooks were the perfect size to make a shelf inside (one on each side, one across the top). We could make as many cubbies that way as would fit. Also had a piece of chalkboard style contact paper on the inside, so we could leave notes for each other with chalk.
I only ever went to public schools. I was so SHOCKED, first day of 6th grade, no one told me there was no more recess!!!!! WTH? You would think someone would have given me a heads-up!!!
😂
My oldest brother got his driver's license, an after-school job, and a car when he was 16-17. He took me and my other brother to/from school each day until he went to college. Then my other brother got a summer job, bought a car, and drove me to and from school.
We lived in a very rural area and our bus route took over 1 hour!!! If we didn't drive ourselves, we would have had to be waiting for the bus in the dark. We wouldn't get home until after 4:00 pm.
In 6th-12 grades, we each had our own large locker. No kid carried backpacks!!!
We have private,charter and religios schools as well as public
I went to school in a small school. I had the same 30 kids in my class from 1st grade to 12th. We were like a family,and are still close.
I went to private school 10th - 12th grade. My dad was the principal. My sr. (12th grade) Class was me and 4 others. It was wonderful, and I'm so glad I never had to go to public highschool.
I went to a prep school. It was considered a private school. We didn't have uniforms but we were supposed to adhere to a dress code.
I pulled my daughter from the public education system (crap education) and placed her in a private school! There is more work, and it is harder, but because the classes are so much smaller, she gets more individual attention and does way better in her now AP classes! She went from struggling with basic math and reading comprehension in gradeschool to being an honors student and making straight A's! The structure and discipline are also better! In the public schools around here now, no longer hold kids back because of social stigma and hurt feelings! I pulled my daughter not only because of her struggle and all they wanted was to keep moving on no matter how many kids fell behind, but the kids were going wild! She would send me pictures of where her classmates (10) were flipping desks, writing on walls, fighting, etc! Nope, my kid will not be a part of that mess! BTW, we pay just a bit over $20,000 a year, and it's worth every penny!
I went to public school and both my daughter and son went to public school. Our oublic school system offeres AP ( advanced placement ) classes and my daughter took AP English , Spanish , Chemistry, Biology and Human anatomy, Calculus AB & BC . Her AP Biology, and Human Anatomy class even disected a human cadaver her senior year at the School of Osteopathic Medicine and my daughter started college as a sophmore with all of the AP credits she had .
She seems intellectually advanced but emotionally immature. How will these protected private school kids deal with real life?
This vlog is very old. She has done very well in the real world. They are not immature just more carefree.
In my experience people that went to public schools are way more maladjusted than the ones that went to private schools. American public schools are crappy
Oh my. This is another of your marvelous videos that makes me want to write a lot here. I'm so sorry. First, my own school experience involves public/private schools, one alternative school consisting of about 20 students, and two years of public community college. Generally speaking, one public school in the US isn't like the next, but private schools are not all the same, either. Similarly, one community college program is not the same as another community college program, even in the same college.
One point regarding civics that is fascinating to me surfaces in your video when the students begin to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. This is where my comment gets longer. We recited that pledge every morning in all of my schools save for the alternative school and college, as did students throughout the nation. While doing so, the right hand is placed over the heart, as I'm sure you know. I was a child in the 1960s, and that was quite a few years after a relevant Supreme Court decision, West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943). The conflict had to do with freedom of religion, which is addressed in the First Amendment of our constitution. Briefly, the Barnette family members were Jehovah's Witnesses, and the JW church teaches that it's wrong to salute the flag. They won, and with that, an earlier Supreme Court decision on the subject, Minersville School District v. Gobitis (1940), was overturned.
For more than one reason, there's an entire civics discussion surrounding those Supreme Court decisions, and I would talk about freedom of speech as well as of religion, also addressed in the First Amendment.The freedom to openly dissent implies the freedom not to say or do anything at all. I didn't always think this way, but the wording of the pledge is not my wording. I didn't author it. I buy into it, but if I say or do anything, I prefer to use my own words and express my own ideas at a time of my choosing. Telling me I have to recite the pledge on command, and that I have to put my right hand over my heart, is forced or coerced political speech. I would want my child to have a sound civics education, but I would not want my child to be pressured into making a statement about patriotism. That's the very antithesis of the concept of freedom of speech. I'm an atheist, but people who are religious, and who believe that God doesn't want them to take oaths and make political statements, should not be forced to do so. What is the point of a constitutional guarantee that one has the freedom to worship as they see fit, if we're only going to tell them they're not allowed to do that? The Barnette decision was ignored across the United States, but another bullet point in the civics discussion is that it was decided in the middle of WWII, when the call to behave patriotically (by those who were not isolationists) was imbued with a particular passion. There is no way we would have stopped reciting the pledge in school during the middle of a world war in which we were -- at that point -- actively engaged.
Getting off my soapbox now.
Since we are a capitalist and democratic country, if someone wants to build a private school, they can. It doesn't have to have a minimum number of students or a maximum tuition rate. As long as the students are being provided with the state's requirements, it's the right of the parents to choose their child's educational setting. Private schools usually have a much smaller population than public schools. That is a less stressful environment than our huge public schools. If your child needs that and you can afford it, that's great.
I went to private elementary (ages 5-11), and private middle school (ages 12-14). However, I really needed a quicker pace, harder work, so I went to a "magnet" public high school (ages 15-18) that had the International Baccalaureate Program. The "magnet" part just means it's the only school in the area that has something (could be drama, IB, debate) - something that you wanted to participate in, but your assigned school doesn't do/have.
My dad was in the US Air Force, which means I attended child care, preschool, elementary, and half of junior high school inside of several military bases while I grew up. I say several schools because usually after 3 years due to my dad's job, we moved to a new state or county's US military base.
I think it wasn't until my parents divorced that I attended a regular public junior high and high school.😊
Private schools are always smaller but they really range in size. This is a very small one. Public school you don’t wear uniforms but a lot of private schools you do. And like Portugal about 90% of American kids go to public school.
My friendships from catholic school were very close, too. The class sizes tend to be a lot smaller than public,
So that plays a factor.
It was an all girls school, which is part of the dynamic bc it wasn’t like that in my grammar school which was private & mixed sex.
You don’t worry about how you look or eating too much at lunch. They served really gooey fresh chocalate chip at breakfast every morning, & the entire school wld cookies at breakfast & it’s all everyone ate. The game was always trying to get the most undercooked, soupy one. Something like that wld have never Happened if boys were there watching. You can have very honest conversations and there’s no feeling of competition. Can’t recall there ever being a serious screaming match, let alone a physical altercation, which is common in public school. It’s more innocent and affectionate bc everyday is like a sleepover. I’m still friends w by two best friends from hs at 40. 😂
I graduated in 1982 from an all girl Catholic High School in Chicago. Limited make up and jewelry. Uniforms with knee socks or nylons. Crepe soled shoes only. (Don't want to mess up the wax on the tile floors!) Lol. NO BOYS'CLASS RINGS OR ENGAGEMENT RINGS! Until the last few weeks of snior year. It was amazing how many diamond chips showed up!
14 kids in the whole school?! That's not school it's private tutoring. 🤗
14 kids in the high school level. It’s k-12
now you will see luxury. 98% of us go to public school until now we will be giving parents a choice by using vouchers to send theirkids to the school of their choice
We sent all three of our kids to catholic school (k-8). The classes were smaller. But we made the decision to send them to public high school since we were in a good school district. It saved us 21,000.00 a year which we could put towards college.
My high school in southern california had almost 1,000 parking spots for students.
years later after high school my daughter still has frequent get togethers with her group of high school friends. They are located around the country and world but still manage to meet.
I went to private, and I loved/hated it. In my school bullying was encouraged, because it toughened you up, supposedly. However, I found public school was just as bad.
I think she said there were 14 students in the high school, but the school serves all ages, from elementary school to high school, so the total student body is more than 14.
My K-8 (ages ~5-13) only had 100 kids and in my last year there was only 13 of us. In high school (ages ~14-17) there was 400 of us. This is pretty close to what my school was like.
Ok makes sense🙏
@@european-reactsThey were both Catholic school’s. My mom is a teacher at one and has been for almost 20 years!
My kids went to a private school that only had 5 kids total at one point! My husband went to the same school and his graduating class was 2 people!! Him and another boy! I went to a huge public high school and my graduating class was like 900 people!!!
I went to Lutheran schools K-12. We didn't have to wear uniforms, but we did have a dress code. Our lockers were about that size. My locker was upstairs, and my friend's was downstairs, so we used each other's lockers to store our books and materials for the classes on that floor.
Most states in the USA 🇺🇸 allow parents to get a voucher to sent the money that would go to public school instead to a private school of their choice.
I went to a private school up until my junior year and loved it. Finished in public school and hated it, not that it was bad but it was definitely different.
I went to a private Lutheran school until high school & am thankful I did. The education and atmosphere was just better and more conductive to learning.
We didn’t wear uniforms like that, but we definitely had a stricter dress code than what’s allowed in most public schools.
Putting on make up is not a part of private school, but part of being a girl. 😂. Many private schools are also church affiliated schools… you still pay a yearly tuition, but they are not as expensive as exclusive private schools that the rich send their children.
There's a German Mexico. Flags because. It is geography class. I want to public school. William s
Private schools have uniforms...everyone wears an outfit every day otherwise we would be out in our underwear. Public school has no uniforms unless you're in a lower income area and it's cheaper to purchase than regular clothes
I’m pretty sure she attends a Catholic school because I saw a crucifix on the wall and also the number of students, it’s may be a kindergarten through 12th grade school. Also they’re learning Latin, not a language you would normally see offered in a public school. The different flags might be something they’ve studying or discussing students ancestry. My son attended a private school that was K-8 and then boys went to an all boys private school and the girls to an all girls private school.
Everything about this is insane. I'm very glad I went to public school.
I went to a private school. My family was in no way rich. Three kids in school at the same time. I don't know how much it was in the 80s-90s when i went but now my daughter goes to the same school and it's $5k/year. I make $35k/year and I put all holiday pay and quarterly bonuses into her school tuition so i only pay half with my regular paychecks. It can be done on a smaller income, you just have to decide what is important for your family 😁
Private schools are not cheap and like only the rich can normally afford it unless you get a scholarship. And a lot of the private schools are religious based. Like catholic or lutheran.
A class of 14 students? This is a very exclusive school.
I went to public school but private college. Biggest mistake of my life to pay for private college.
I have 2 boys that are all grown up now but the oldest one was home schooled where I controlled the teaching and the younger one he was in charter school where also he was home but did class through a computer. I don't regret any of it school now days are a mess. The nice thing was everything was free even the laptop and printer and the books everything was free. Charter school was much nicer than home school.
They come in different sizes depending on the space available and student population
Private school here is probably a little more popular than that. Certainly it isn't that common either. Private is for the well-to-do or very determined middle class. I think she is saying that there are 14 students in her high school. But there is a primary school there as well.
I graduated from a private high school. It was a little bigger. My graduating class had only 27 students. So only about 100 students in the whole high school.
In my private school each kid had their own locker
My children have gone to both public and private schools and both sides wore uniforms. They were both strict with uniforms.
I went to a private Catholic French school in the state of New Hampshire in the USA from Kindergarten-6th grade. Then public school 7-12.
I mostly went to Catholic schools. My elementary school shut down (they don't all make a lot of money), so I went to public school in 8th grade. I felt the teachers were really weak, I could literally say I learned nothing, and the kids were either violent, or shut down because of the violence. I begged my mom to go to our local Catholic high school, got a work scholorship, meaning I worked at the school after school and sometimes lunch to lower the tuition and got a job at a snack bar to help pay for tuition. Our public schools vary greatly. Some are very good, it just wasn't like that where I was. I was not built to be as tough as you have to be able n most public schools. I can't handle bullies. I love be Swings😃 And yes, I drove at 16, saved up money for a car so I could get a car by 18, so I could get a better job. You have to have a car to have a job in many parts of U.S. I did go to publishing c summer school. This was back in the '70's and summer school was open to everyone and kidstook classes they actually wanted, so they wanted to be there.
Locker size depends on school size, around here the public shool lockers are that size.
14 people in high school which is 4 different class years.
Private schools are extremely small because not many people can afford the cost of private schools which cost the same as college.
The only private schools around here are Christian schools, and there are 3 of those, there was a Catholic school as well but that shut down a few years ago.
This is the strangest school i have seen. So few students. I thought my class was very small. 85 students.
WENT TO PUBLIC SCHOOL...ONLY 52 IN MY SENIOR CLASS....IN THE FIRST GRADE, IWENT TO A ONE ROOM SCHOOLHOUSE WITH 10 SEATS IN 4 ROWS, EACH ROW BEING A GRADE...1-4
There's a crucifix on the wall above the chalk board. That is almost certainly a Catholic High School.
A great clip to show there are lots of different types of schools and communities in US.
14 people in the entire high school? Wow.
In a nearby town, we have a free private school funded by a non profit organization.
I went to a private all girl school for my freshman & sophomore years of Highschool (9th & 10th grades). The rest of my schooling was in public school. My private school had way more students than this school. But it was still a little bit less than the public schools, and we didn't have a sports team, and our band was combined with the close by all male private school. My neighborhood public schools sucked. I lived in a low income neighborhood & required special education, and my neighborhood school didn't have the needed resources, so I was bussed to a school in a different neighborhood for 3rd through 6th grade. Because of a mixup in my transfer to another school that I would be bussed to, I was forced to go to my neighborhood school for 7th and 8th grade. It wasn't too bad, but after my 2 years of private school, I was able to go to a school outside of my neighborhood for my junior & senior years (11th & 12th grades) of Highschool. At my private schools, each grade wore different uniforms.
They probably put up a flag as they study that country may have already studied your country
I went to public school....private school is ridiculously expensive & completely different than public school....in public school you can wear whatever you want to for the most part but in private school has mandatory uniforms that you have buy yourself on top of the tuition....even catholic private schools are completely different than public schools....I'm shocked to see lockers cus here in Southwest Arizona they took them out or didn't allow us to use them....o its a private school that has all grades which is definitely not a common thing that usually only happens if its a small community
4 people in a math class..... how could not be close.,too close
I went to a small K-8 Lutheran school (15 kids in my grade) then went to a public high school (500 in my grade)! It was a hard transition to make.
I went to 12 years of private school and my parents paid for five children to go to private school. We had to get dressed up every day I had to wear dress pants and a dress shirt and tie and dress shoes❤
I went to public school but I dated a girl in private school. They got scholarships. Also, private school is where the families with money sent their kids when they got kicked of public school.
That's all the grades do you see young children that would be in a separate building
In 2021, 9% of kids went to private school. I went to public school and my kids do as well.
Lockers in my highschool were that size and we didn't have to share
Same went to a public school too
The school I went to had a big board called a paddle. You act up and it was 3 swats on the bottom and man did it hurt!
In the US most private schools are religion based.
16 and younger in farm areas on private roads. Otherwise it's 17 or 18 depending on the state
When I went to private Catholic School in the 1960s and 70s girls were not allowed to wear much makeup😂
I would have died in a school like this. It's like Little House on the Prarie! 😂
1960. I went to a Catholic, private high school. My wife-to-be went to small public (owned by a small Great Smokey Mountain college and on campus) k-12. I think maybe she had a slightly better education.
Both. I liked private school better.
Those lockers look like same as public to me!!!
It definately looks like a catholic school. The ones i know of if you are catholic the tuition is a little lower, than non catholic students. It also depends on where tthis school is as to how big they are. A friend of mine who lives in california had her kids in catholic school where there was a big catholic population, most of the students where, philipino and latino, and the school was huge.
It’s slightly cheaper if your family is part of a parish and shows paperwork to confirm it. I graduated in ‘09 and I’m not a practicing Catholic, but that’s how it worked from what I remember.
My entire high school in Montana had 17 kids
20:16 I bet what kept that married couple together for 56 years, was food.
I went to a Catholic school my first 8 years , 4 years public high school and 4 years to a State University.
