I'm also 17 years old. I have never been to a private school, but I do think that public schools are better, or at least as good as private schools. I have had lots of friends who went to private schools and they all had one thing in comman...they hated it. I do think that if you go to a priavte school the kids will pick on you so much more. They expect you to be ritch, where nice clothes, be super smart, I guess just perfect. The kids at private schools act like there better than everyone else when there not. They are the same as anyone else..even public school kids. I think there should just be public schools.
