Is a Private HS Really Better than Public?

Public schools give you something no private school could ever get you:

“street smarts” for lack of a better term. You’ll have to learn to deal with some of the most god awful people in the world in a public high school, and the reality is you will be dealing with these people in the real world.

As far as the education goes, maybe I just go to a great public high school, but I’ve never once had a teacher that didn’t teach the material correctly, or was an *******. While my school does offer a lot of APs, it aint the end of the world if you can’t take 10 of em in a year.
