Public Vrs. Private Essay -- essays papers

frequent Vrs. PrivateThe Eternal Question Public or Private Consider this, you drive into the park lot of the public school and see the same five squad cars as every day, business as usual you think. You and your friends walk up to the room access and wait in line for the metal detectors. You put your keys in the tray and walk through the detector, it goes off. Two cops walk up to check your backpack. Pager in the grievous bodily harm got to go back to the car and put it away. Back through the metal detectors and they do not go off, thank God. You go to first conclusion, sit in your seat and the teacher locks the door. The drug dogs must be coming today. Second period and the dogs are still here, there must be something wrong. Third period starts and the class files in. The teacher is about to start and in walks the cops, they walk straight in your direction and up to the kid next to you. The kid stands the cop puts the apply cuffs on him and escorts him out. Oh, well on t hat point goes another mavin. Next is gym where your locker has no pad lock because last week two girls got into a argue and one beat the other one with your lock. The rest of the day is pretty usual, a couple of fights and a test. Sound extreme? Not for the students of Bloom racy School, this is a good day. In the same town a mile away there is a Private Catholic High School this is their day. I drive to school and pull up in my Mercedes in the parking lot, there is an Escalade in front of me and a Porche behind me, and I abhor having a cheap car. I park the car and file into school, walk in the front door and to my locker to put my books away. There is the drug school principal with another customer at the locker next to me, Hi, Andy. Oh, no Here comes a nun, better tuck my shirt in. To late, another detention, but on the up side here comes Jon he is so hot it is too bad he does steroids. I go through a usual day, some quizzes and a test. At 220pm, schools over, back out side to the car and drive to Andys. I guess everyone is following me today. Hey look at all the squad cars at Bloom, I wonder who got busted today? I sit down on the couch and talk while everyone else smokes a blunt. Now it is time to go, I get out see everyone at the party tonight. I have to go do homework after all it is only Tuesday. So which is better for a student, private school or public school? I know first hand what it is ... ... that is required.Which high school to attend is a big decision and one that is often made by the parents, but I do not see any reason why a parent who can present a private school would want to put their child through a public school when the private school is obviously the better choice. There are many students who have made it through college from a public school and who have made it through high school and gone on to have great jobs, but the odds are in definite favor of us.BibliographyWorks CitedAnyon, Jean.
