What is the biggest problemwith going to a proprietary school?

Answer 1

Ok, this is coming from en eleven year old, not an adult, so I think that this may help someone see it from the perspective of a kid. I personally think the biggest problem with a prep school is not fitting in! Yeah, just that. Think about it. Everyone wearing a uniform. No one knows you, and you may feel uncomfortable, escpecially if you had previously gone to a public school. The clothes doesn't even begin to cover it, though. You don't know who to "hang out" with, what if all the people are snobs? Do you have to be just like them, or be friendless forever? What if you HATE the uniform. And you have to wear it every day? And it gets dirty? LOL. Ok, so those are not the main problems, because you could deal with a dirty uniform. Also, you may have, like, schoolsickness or something (don't know what it's called) and you may miss your old friends a lot. There are the main problems of going to a new school, and plus the problems of going to a prep school. But there are also good things:

*you don't have to worry about fitting in (in terms of clothes) because everyone wears the same thing.

*you could start all over, and learn from your mistakes in your old school.

* if you got worse grades in your old school, here's a chance to bring them up.

* people may treat yu differently, whether that's better or worse.

Sorry for the long answer, I really hope I helped you.
