Is a Private HS Really Better than Public?

Public schools are so much better than private schools. You get to interact with all types of people. You will have to do this later in life, so you should get use to it. The people are nicer and not stuck up. Everyone makes fun of the rich and preppy kids. The teachers are better, atleast in my area. Public school salaries are higher. My teachers are very well qualified, one with a double doctorate, another one has a law practice, and all know a lot. The private school teachers that I talked to, coaches or association, all seem for latent terms, dumber. At private schools you have to dress up in a shirt and tie everyday, but the girls do wear those skirts. At a public, you get to show your personality and dress however you want, following the dresscode (restrictions, not uniforms).
If you are motivated and want to do good, it doesnt matter where you go. Unless the public school system is deprived of funding, it will generally be better. Why spend 30k a year, that money can be spent helping people who need money, charity or a family member. It is not really a school that determines what you do, but how motivated you are.
