Get the private schoolmug. An institution that is usually meant to be mono-sex (or boys only/ girls only) and is rarely Coed. Most are established on the Main Line (Pennsylvania, New York up to New England) or on the west coast (California only). Private Schools or Prep Schools are establishments started in the 1910s and have a "college" setting. Sometimes students board there and sometimes the school is run like a public school. The attendants come from families with a bit (quite a bit) more money then other families, except in the case of the occasional well-spoken scholarship boy. Instead of being forced to believe in unified ideas and socialist ideas (brought up by friends of mine who go to public school) they are 'encouraged' or 'forced' to come up with their own ideas about how the world should work. In this way the school will produce leaders, CEO's, and Wall Street stock analysts that will make between $450,000-$2,500,000 per year or highly paid surgeons and consultants that make $250-$700 an hour.
The kids attend Ivy League schools and in this way the private or prep school can claim success that they can advertise to the wealthy folk, who probably attended private/prep schools themselves. The children who attend these institutions are not always stuck up (in fact at my school VERY few are).
Pros:
-Small classes (between 10-25 kids divided into 2 homerooms)
-"New" educational ideas that promote self-acting
-Prestige when applying for colleges and jobs
-AP courses that allow up to 2 years worth of college
courses to be accumulated in senior year
-Less violence
Cons:
-Not usually Coed
-Separation from the unwashed masses that the kids will have
to deal with when they have big powerful administrative
jobs

Dean: "So I'd like to start this application for our college
with an interview, so please tell me about yourself."
The Private School / Prep School Student's Response:
"Well I attended a Prep School from 6th-12th grade, scoring a 3.50+ GPA each year, and a 2360 on the SAT."
Dean: "Alright then, lets get these forms filled out..."

Get the Private schoolmug. I'm not going to ignorantly insult private schools in the U.S.A however I truly believe they are not as good as public.
- It costs money to get in, one idiot wrote a definition and said "Oh they are cheap like 20,000 - 125,000 dollars" news flash retard not everyone has that kind of money
- It stresses the point that money is EXTREMELY important and that nothing else matters
- Full of W.A.S.P's that look down on Blacks, Italians, Asians, and Hispanics.
- They are foreced to wear the same uniforms, conformity much?
- People that do have scollarships have to mantain an A+ average or they get kicked out, imagine hows stressfull that is
- They have a much smaller pouplation of the school, which means less oppertunities for making friends, having big parties, getting to know different people and means that gossip/drama is much greater because everyone knows everyone else's buissness.
- They are used to escape schools with minorities
- They think they are better

Get the private schoolmug. A school that parents must pay for their children to attend. These schools are often part of a religious parish, but not always. If so, they will be called catholic or parochial schools, but if not, then a prep school. The tuition varies, from 10,000 to 2,000, but there are often breaks for parishioners and families with large children.
The kids are just about the same as public school kids. Private school kids often have stricter rules, and most wear uniforms. Nail polish, makeup, and hair dye are frowned upon, but it doesn't stop girls from making makeshift copies, often with whiteout. They curse, break things, get into fights, ect. They're are a few who believe that they are above everyone else for being in private school, but they are generally douchebags and you should ignore them.
Most schools have elementary and middle school together, and often only one or two homerooms, with about 40 kids in a single grade. Religion is a class in religious schools. For most, children of the parish who go to public school must go to sunday school there. They don't like private school kids for being prissy, and private school kids don't like these kids for destroying their desks.
