Growing up did you attend public school, or private school?

I attended public school in elementary than parents put me in private school. To be honest, there was no difference. Private schools had bullies as well. It was just more structured and we prayed.

 I attended both private and public schools. I was in public schools through eighth grade. For high school I went to a private school mainly because of  Bullies  and needing a smaller class size.

I went to public schools, but my husband tells stories about how cruel the nuns were in Catholic school.

Public schools.   When I went there wasn't much bullying.  There were a lot of "clicks" but I don't recall any bullying.  Even if there had been I don't think my parents were in a financial position to put us in private schools.

I attended public schools.  The only private school around was a catholic school.  I was raised baptist.

I went to public school as a child. My oldest son has paid dearly to keep four his children in private schools, but they have experienced bullying as well, even to the point of death threats. How sad.

I went to public school, and there were bullies,  but I think there were/are bullies everywhere.  At least back then you could leave them at school.

I attended both public and private schools as a child. I'm not sure what all of the bully references in this thread are about. There is no "bully free" system. I would guess that there are even more bullies in the private schools than in the public schools, but I could be wrong.

I attended a private grammar school and a public high school.

I attend public school growing up.

I went to public school. Of course there were always cliques and a few no good kids but I never saw any of this extreme death threat bullying you hear about today.
