Pretty much every state has those standardized tests. Ours are called the PSSAs. Are you required to pass those standardized tests to graduate from high school?

Private schools don't have to do a lot of things public schools do. They don't even need to be in school the same amount of days. This is partly because they can be privately funded and they don't need to worry about money from the government.

Yeah, I like going to public schools though. I think you get just as good of an education.

puplic schools are nice but i live in baltimore and all high schools here are about to wear uniform and some are closing down. baltimore school systems suck

It all depends on where you are located. I used to teach in DC and there are many public schools I wouldn't step foot in. I am not knocking public schools, I teach in a public school. Maybe I am partial to private schools because I went to private schools from first grade through twelfth grade. But you are right you can get a great education in a public school.

Yeah, i've gone to a public school all my life. My schools were great. Yeah, there are plenty of schools that aren't very nice at all. I'm probably just used to going to a public school probably.
