I have attended both private and public schools, I went to private school from kindergarten till I finished my primary 6 education, then I went to public school in jss1 but changed back to private again when I was in jss 2 and eventually went back to public school in senior secondary school 1 till 3 and yea I graduated from a public school...
In my opinion, I would prefer a public school to a private school, most private schools employ people who are not qualified for the position they are being placed because the proprietor/proprietress does not want to pay huge salary and this affect no one but the student....
In private schools, you can't really know how brilliant you are due to less student in the school, most private schools in Nigeria have less than 20 student in a class and the most brilliant can be an average student when he goes to a public school...
During my time in private school, class 2 in junior secondary school, one of my friend is the most brilliant of us all and he top the class often but after junior secondary school, we attended the same public secondary school and things changed, we met more brilliant students, he could no longer top, he is now among the average student, i was not topping in private school but at least i was recognised as a brilliant student and in public school, i was still recognised though i didn't top anything lol...
So public school help you to discover more about your potential bookwise...
Another thing about public school is that they gave us free text books back then unlike private schools that you need to pay for everything including the air you breathe in...
Most people do say, public school teachers joke with their work, this is not always true! I could remember none of my teachers back then for the 9 subject i offered joke with their work, we always pray they should not have time to come to the class but these people are so much dedicated to their work especially the physics teacher, not even a storm can stop him from attending his class....
One disadvantage of public school is the freedom it offers to student, no one cares if you skip class in a public school, if you are not careful you might lose yourself, once you start having too many friends and care less about your book, it will affect you academically, this happened to me in my junior class and that was why I was taken back to a private school in jss2.. Let me gist you😁
I attended Adeola Odutola college in ijebu ode for my jss 1 class, the first term, I took the first position out of 89 students in a class and coupled with the fact I didn't start the term with them, as i joined after 4 weeks gone, this made me popular immediately, most want to play with the brilliant boy, this got to my head as i started rolling with the boys that only loves to play lol..
The second term, my position dropped to 23rd, hehehe from first position, as if that was not enough, the third term it dropped more and my family were not impressed with my result and they know it is because i didn't focus on my studies anymore and that was how they remove me from there and took me back to private school😁...
The same thing could have happen when i went back to public school in ss1, my first day in the class, i was already answering questions thrown by the teachers and the students be like efiko is among them lol, but this time i didn't let what happen in junior school happened, i rolled with the brilliant student instead and we do brain storm, i played too but i didn't over do it, i know when to read and when to play and when to do other stuffs as well...
