I have an option of moving to Catholic school. But what benefits doI have there. Should i stay in Public school? In P. School i get distracted and screw and round and my grades are shi* so should i go there and be able to get my shi* straight?
Ive been going to catholic school my whole life, I have a 94 average, not bragging, but I personally think the academic expectations of a catholic school are higher, here anyways.
I love it here too
They also offer alot of extra courses and such

Maybe the grades are higher because the marking is a little more liberal. Just a thought. You make of your education what you make of it. Wherever you go it will always remain if you study harder you get better grades.
I never attended catholic school, so my experience is limited. I did however date quite a few girls from catholic school while I was in public school, and I have to admit they must've been teaching the girls at the catholic school a different curriculum than they did at the public school if you know what I mean.

Grading scale at the Catholic high school I teach at, which btw is an accredited college prep school, if you score a 94 on a test you are already in the B range. Score in the low 80's and you've bought yourself a D. Anything below 71% is an F.
now make way for all the flaming thats sure to follow about religious schools period.
That sounds incredibly hard Jedi. Anyway I never been to a private school so I can't tell you which is better... but I can say that class size and school size matters. For me at least. The school I went to in 9th grade was only about 1000 or so kids and I was doing good. Then I moved back down to Florida, and down here my school is like 3000+ kids.. and it's a lot harder to keep up with my grades. It's just so easy to get distracted. So if the private school which you can go to is much smaller (which it probably is) it could help you.
other than the fact that they teach me catholicism its great... there r many extraprogramatic classes... teachers r usually old he have big ass librarys etc

Wow! Hard to believe that a grading scale can be so different than almost every other college, university or highschool in north america. What school is it at the you teach? I would love to research the placement of students and their successes at university. They must be astounding.

I've been to a Catholic school. It's overrated. The education is the same. The teachers do get payed less though. My Catholic school was very sheltered and very ignorant of the real world. They distorted a lot of facts to bolster their Catholic faith. Science was not taught well. We learned about animals and stuff, but biology was out of the question (they don't like evolution). They also had several programs that poorly addressed teenage issues. "If you have sex before marriage you go to hell." "Homosexuality is a sin. You'll go to hell (I felt sorry for Larry since he was gay. He had to listen to this everyday)." Abortion is a sin. You'll go to hell." Sex was poorly explained. "Don't do it till you are married." No discussion. Just that. Several books were banned because it was considered anti-christ. Harry Potter, When the Caged Bird Sings, and 1984 are a few books that were banned. Martin Luther King was not celebrated because, as my history teacher said, "his contributions to America aren't that important to have a day off." All in all, it was a poor environment for me. Ironically enough three of my classmates got pregnant. One had an abortion. Two kept the babies. Chrissa Yatel got scabies. We never learned about condoms or other forms of protection. Larry became clinically depressed. I don't know what happened to him. I really hope he is ok. Of our 50 students that supposedly had better education and better teachers, only 6 went to college. I went to Drew (I transfered to Cornell). The others went to Fairleigh Dickinson, Rutgers and Marist.
This was just my experience. I don't mean to offend or belittle anyone else on this board.
