You're Brazilian? Not American?

A light bulb has just gone off. No wonder you're so clueless in your interests.

Public school is just a name.

How to organize that...that's whole another thing.

Somewhere in Europe (for example Finland, Estonia) most of kids goes throught country's public school and still scores very high results in World level PISA tests.

People from private schools here dress more elegant as u can see by those pics above

As for the topic at hand, public schools in the US wildly vary in their quality. In wealthier counties, you can't really tell a public school from a private school if you take away school uniforms and/or religious teachings.

Public school in Europe isnt for people not rich enough? Here in Brazil things are almost this way.

''Ritchness'' is subjective impression? But in some European countries (Scandinavia)....there are't poor people at all (like in Southern America, or many other places).

Anyway....the only reason why students goes to schools is learning. Nothing more, nothing less. And that is the only way, how different school systems should be compared and valued.

If this was 1990s, I'd have no issues with sending my nieces and nephews to California public schools assumng they are in Orange County for Southern -California and Santa Clara County for NorCal.

But in the year 2017, there is no way I'd convince my brother in law to place his kid in California public schools.
