Did anybody here attend private schools, or have kids that attend private schools? Is it worth it?
-
I never attended a public school, private from K-12, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I'm glad my parents sent me though :dunno:
-
it depends on where you live and what's available. if you live in a place that has crap for public schools but good private school options, then private makes sense. if you live in a place that has really good public schools and the private ones aren't any better, then it doesn't make sense. this doesn't seem that hard. is this a trick question?
-
students from the best public schools test as well as students from private schools. if i sent my kid to private school, i'd expect that they'd be able to attend an ivy league university. yet, when you look at placement records of even academically oriented private schools, they're very meh. almost all the kids could've easily gotten into the colleges they attended had they gone to public school. but i do think kids learn really good manners at private school.
-
fewer non-asian minorities
-
Depends on the size of the city. If your kid is mediocre to dumb private school is a better option as you can PI the dean into gettng your kid in to college. Average to High end will do fine where ever.
-
also, i have some non townie friends that talk about how they're going to put their little kids into some kind of private school in manhattan or something and i just don't have the balls to tell them that they're idiots and that the public ones are better and that they're kids are going to be outcasts and made fun of. i mean, seven dolors freaks. enough said.
-
public schools in my area are alright, testing scores pretty much on average with the rest of the state. private schools testing scores are better. but there's other things to consider than just testing scores, which is why i was asking. would not even be asking if i was living in manhattan, but i'm in kc. thanks for responses.
also,

i lol'd at this.

sister in law works at Barstow. seems like a very weird place.
-
aren't you the guy that freaked out about getting some chick pregnant a few years back? private seems like a lot of money to spend on an accidental child.
-
sys makes a good point about your bastard kid here phreak
-
oh, you guys. that "chick" is my wife and i was freaking out because i was excited (and slightly drunk at the time of posting, we had just won a good basketball game against texas that same night.) but thanks for making me feel awkward. :embarrassed:
-
Have you considered home schooling? They usually turn out very well-rounded people.

Eh, I'm not arrogant enough to think I can provide a better education than someone with a related degree and experience. And I think the social experience is important.

That school is Blair Witch spooky.

those seven dolors kids sure did like to party after they got to mhs.
btw, i'm a big proponent of turning combo fanning threads into townie threads.

Yes. And all of the Aquinas-Pikes freshman that can't handle their liquor and come off as huge a-holes at K-state. Well, I mean I'm sure they all go on to father 4-6 children and be successful money managers or something, but pretty much insufferable for a good bit of time.
-
Well, if you're sending your kids to EMAW U like any reasonable EMAW would then it doesn't really matter unless the public schools where you live are really crappy.

Marrying because of a pregnancy is worse than just having a bastard imo.

mods, rename the board "townie pakking".
-
listen to emilio estevez.
-
i live in kcmo. a district without accreditation. and not that accreditation matters a whole lot but it speaks to how much of a disaster the district is. i wouldn't send any kid into those schools.
-
and yes, barstow is v weird

i am going to attempt to incorporate some kind of townie fact/knowledge into every combo-fanning post i have for the next week. i know a lot about mhk so it should be about as simple as going yard on pluto field.
-
the last time i heard someone say "going yard" was on the laurie's high school city league baseball team that was full of people rick daris knew. we won the championship at cico (of course) on the blue field (i think). i ripped a single and scored a run. final score was 3-1. we only lost one game and, boy, was coach laurie pissed. very competitve guy.

country gift shop was a pretty decent team because they always had two pitchers that could "bring heat". my senior year the best team was my team, but we sadly got dq'd for using a player not on our roster during the playoffs in a game. we had one of our friends that was a full year older be our coach and then told him not to show up for anything and coached ourselves. never had a practice. had to have set a mprd record for number of trick pickoff attempts and batters that were thrown at on purpose. sadly my fastball was not fast enough to hit the people that i really wanted to. also, did you know that coach laurie's nickname was "the rock". also, he didn't go to private school. straight public all the way through for him.

i've never met a person who went to a private school that wasn't a weirdo/creeper/loser.

Public school kids:
How big of a hassle were metal detectors? Do people end up becoming really efficient with them, or is it like the airport where the same dumbasses always forget to take off their braided belt?

It's true that Country Gift Shop was always really solid, but if we're talking about MPRD baseball toughies it would be foolish in this discussion to overlook Royal Purple Paint & Body (1999) imo. A really strong leadoff hitter, good fielding, strong older bro/younger bro connection, and plus, Jason is going to make a great snowcone catch out in center against Parker-Hannifin in the semis. If you're a gambling man you should probably bet the farm on RPP&B because they're going to stage an incredible comeback against the Diamondbacks (losery team who couldn't even get a sponsor, lol). If you're a drinking man, tell Ryan before the game and he'll bring an extra thermos full of beer that he stole from his dad and he'll totally let you take swigs off it when coach goes out to the mound to settle down the pitcher.
:surprised:

if you send your kids to public school you only have to buy 3-5 pairs of khakis and 3-5 pairs of white polos.
if you send them to public school you have to deal with skinny jeans and little girl t-shirts every 6 mos.
if you live in JoCo and you send your kids to private school you are a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)
if you live anywhere else in kansas or missouri and you send your kids to public school you are a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)
if you hate religion, private school isn't an option
if you hate lazy entitled pos teachers, public school isn't an option
public school best prepares for the real world
private school best prepares for proper use of the english language

I went to a KC area private school and the main things I noticed are that I feel much more prepared in english/math/writing, and less prepared in physics and chemistry.
The rate of kids who went to college from my class is like 99% or something absurd, but I feel like that has more to do with kids being able to afford college tuition than it does getting scholarships.
If you are in the Blue Valley school district, there really isn't a need to go private other than wanting to say your kids go to a private school. Many Johnson County public schools are just as good, and sometimes better at preparing kids for college. Most kids attend Aquinas/Rockhurst/St James purely because they come from Catholic families.
Also, lots of dumbass parents who think it's more elite to send their kids to a out of state school like mizzou, colorado, iowa or SLU than to go to a ku/k-state.
-
If you send your kids to private school in Manhattan then you are a moron. Just recently toured the new MHS renovations and it is clearly the most elite high school in the state now. State-of-the-art crap, and that ain't just the townie in me talking. And if you want to see just how good/well-supplied public schools are in Kansas, or how many different opportunities kids here have to pursue different avenues of interest, just go anywhere else. Especially the south. Holy eff.

Yeah, Kansas has a pretty good public school system. If you live in a state with an SEC school, go private. Otherwise, public would be fine in most instances.

Pretty simple. If you want your daughter to be a whore and your son to sell drugs, send them to a public school.

If you want your son to sell drugs, send them to a public school.
This also helps greatly in the son funding his own way to a public university. Go Cats.

in kc it works like this-
if you're poor, go public/fake private
if you're not poor, go pembroke hill

I don't think catholic school should count as private. It should be it's own weird third category.

I would be really pissed if I paid for private school K-12 and my kids ended up going to Kansas State.

There are tons of shitty private schools out there, fwiw.

Never understood why someone would live in a place shitty enough to not give a eff about their schools then pay a private school. Just rough ridin' move people. Priorities and stuff.
KCMO is a fantastic example. Lots of good options within commuting distance, yet people still live in KCMO. If you aren't cripplingly poor, I don't understand.

There's a lot of value to living in a city. Like, commuting generally sucks. I can understand how people don't understand the appeal, but if I returned to KC I would prefer to live in KCMO if I could afford the right neighborhood and private schools.
Conversely, I don't understand people without kids that choose to live in suburbs because of the bad schools in the city.

I get that people like convenience of living in a higher pop density. Just don't get people barely scraping by so that they can pay the tuition bill when they could move 5 miles west and be much more financially secure. Financial security is a much more basic need than having a cool indie movie theater within walking distance of your house. So is a quality public school dist.

I don't think most people that live in Brookside or wherever with kids are "barely scraping by". And it isn't like property values will be identical 5 miles west of Brookside.

Nope, but some of the surrounding areas are full of shitty little houses that cost as much as a nice house 5 miles west. I am not talking about that can easily afford to make the public school decision. Those people would prob have their kid in private school no matter where they lived.

i was going to, but then i thought about it. 5 miles west of brookside puts you in the lamar ave/metcalf area. the houses in brookside are probably nicer and worth more.

Money
Uniforms
Religion being taught

Yeah, the 5 miles is a slight exaggeration. My point is that you could live in mission or roeland park, still be a v short commute and not have to have your kids in KCMO dist.

"Troost" just appeared out of thin air. Bringing in Troost to the discussion means you need to start back at the beginning where I mentioned something about being poor...

so where in KCMO are these people who live in shitty little houses and send their kids to private school? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Sorry for boring you sb. :jerk:

Please ignore sb and go on. I find this conversation intriguing.

Alright, so I know where this is going. I will put in time to find the locations on a map so that I can put approx addresses to them, then spend time some how finding property value information and comparing it to KS side, then you will tell me that they aren't comparable for some reason, then I will tell you they are for some other reason, then ultimately it will come down to a discussion about aesthetics and how that a house is nice due to it's craftsman style and era of construction, and I will tell you that it has rot and the cost renovation of these older homes, then we will discuss what else makes a house "nice", etc.
I don't know. I just don't see how this does anything for me at this point.

Uniforms - yuck
Religion being taught - yuck, especially at elementary school level

How do you know that the people who live in these pockets of shitty houses aren't sending their kids to public school?

I'll be honest, I have to live in KCMO and it sucks. I don't want to live out in the middle of nowhere, so we decided to buy a house in the brookside area, and it's not that great. sure, the house looks cool and has that "old charm", but it always needs work (knew that when we got into it) and the neighborhood isn't that great even though the houses are :kstategrad:
and you bet your ass I'll be sending my future children to private (catholic) school. no way in hell are they getting caught up in the crap storm that is the KCMO school district.
really, most big cities in the country are like this. if you even have a little bit of money you send them to private school. only the poorest of the poor get stuck in public school. now, for places like JOCO or manhattan, public school all the way.

I learned everything I need to know about this debate from Uncle Phil when Ashley started going to public school without telling him and Aunt Viv.
When thinking about the private school ask yourself this question "It's not what I know is there, it's about what I know is not there". If there is something at the public school (bad influences on your kids, shitty teachers) that concerns you, but is not at the private school, go the private school route. If there isn't anything at the public school that concerns you that you could avoid via private schools, go the public school route and spend the extra cash on other areas to improve your kids life, educational or not, but preferably some extracurricular that teaches them discipline.

if you want your kid to have a soul, public school. education can be had anywhere.
