Private school Kids mixing with Public?

Question

Just wondering coz i work in a office where most people were from private schools and i came from a public school.

One particular woman who only started the job a few weeks ago- doesn't even say hello to me- i heard her and another person talkign about Private schools and she said -

"we best stick together"

silly i think- but if thats how they want to act then fine

Answer 1

Tbh I don't see why people care if they came from a private or a public school

because at the end of the day where all people and no-one can help if there born with rich parents who send you to private school or public school

So I think there stupid for saying stuff like that tbh

it just shows there pathetic and stuck up cause there isn't any difference in the person

Answer 2

presumably your in the US as public school in the UK is even higher than private school or schools where fees are paid............................

    people are good or not where ever they went to school it's just narrow minded bigots who perpetuate there myths

Answer 3

Do you mean "public" schools and public schools!  as in "posh" and common? (There is no such thing as private...just "public")

The Posh ones do stick together - stuff em - work hard and prove them wrong!

Only common people (I am common - but I have learned this...) call them "Private Schools"

Posh folk call "paid for" schools "Public Schools"

Answer 4

Don't mean to be degrading to people who work in offices as it can be a pretty good job. However if 'daddy' had paid for me to go to a private school I would have liked to think I would have moved high up the ladder.  Just get that message over to them.  People who attended comprehensive schools and work in an office are achievers. People who attended private school  who work in an office are losers !!!

Answer 5

i went to a public school then moved to private. I am good friends with people from public and private. I dont see how a public or private school determines what type of person you are. The person in your office must be a stuck up loser.

Answer 6

i sent my daughter to a private christian school...i wanted her to have a religious daily experience..worked two jobs,,single mom..no snob value

Answer 7

It no longer matters where any of you went to school -- you're all working in the same place.  This coworker may change her outlook when she needs something.

Do the work to the best of your ability and be assured that the education she received may have cost more but -- oh yeah -- it didn't get her any further ahead than you - she's working in the same place you are!

Answer 8

stuck up b******s. just because daddy was rich enough to send them to private school

Answer 9

Wow. Are they back in high school? I would say that it sounds like they need to grow up and act mature. Who cares. Snobs.

There were prestigious private schools in the town I grew up in and they never associated with public school kids. The only private school kids I knew had previously gone to school with us. I became friends later with someone that did go to private school. She acknowledged that the attitude existed. I hear that from someone else that goes to one now but doesn't want to. His parents are making him.

edit: They call private schools public schools. That's messed up. It is what it is. This kind of c**p makes me glad that I kissed the Republican party goodbye. It's stupidity gone mad. Who cares. All the preaching that they do. Hypocrites. It doesn't apply to me, only you. Blah. Blah.

Answer 10

I went to a private school and have good friends both from school, and from all around the world, some from extremely poor families.

The type of woman that says something like this is what we rich folk refer to as "nouveau riche" (new rich), like the family just got money one or two generations ago and love to show it off and use it to act superior to other people.  Basically those with money but little class.

Don't worry, there are a lot of people who went to private schools who have a lot more class than that and judge people on merit.

Answer 11

Is she a peer of yours or someone in upper management?  

If she is upper management, just let it go.

If she is a peer then she is just being snotty.  Be a good person and do your job well.  If later on she takes a liking to you - wonderful; but if not you lost nothing.
