Public schools are not nice, in general. That's why anyone with any money at all sends their kids to private school.

- whyenot 10y agoI didn't realize UC Berkeley was a private school.
- jeremyt 10y agoSee, I added, "in general", because I knew somebody was going to come behind me and give one anecdotal reference to a good public school. Yes, there are some good public colleges, and a whole lot of crappy public colleges. Yes, there are a few good public secondary schools and a whole lot of really awful ones.
- withdavidli 10y agosame on what jeremy said. he specifically meant in general. not only did you pick a top ranked school as an example, but chose the #1 ranked public school as a representation of public schools in general. i went to 8 schools before graduating high school. ranging qualities really depends on neighborhoods' wealth, unless there's a magnet/charter type school.
- withdavidli 10y agothink the commenter meant "nice"= "nice to have" not a statement on quality.
- pg314 10y agoIn the US, maybe. In other countries (that rank better [1] on science and math at 15), they seem to be ok. [1] http://www.bbc.com/news/business-32608772 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-32608772
