Public school vs private school

What school will you be sending your child to? And why?

If money was no object, would your choice change?

Are public schools full of criminals and private school full of snobs?

Or does it completely depend on the child? If so, does it really matter what school your child goes to?

Personally, I''m sending mine to a public school, but a very very good one. I can't afford private and I don't think I'd send them to a private school if I could anyway.

I feel private schools select their students to fit their image, so children don't get to know a variety of people like they do in public schools.

I do think the average private school can be better for the children than the average public school academically, but I do know there are exceptions, like the school mine are going to, as well as bad private schools.

What's your opinion?

Mine will be going to a public school, as that is all I can afford.

I'd send mine to a private school if I had the money though.
