State schools are known in the United States and Canada as public schools . These public schools are mandated to offer free education to all children by the government, whether national, regional, or local. The schools will be provided by an institution of civil government, and paid for, in whole or in part, by state taxes.
No there is still allot of noise, boys will still tease girls, girls will still stop to gossip, and maybe someone will trip on someone or something, you might even hear a swear word or too but really there is a difference between private and public schools, it's what they are wearing.
Funding in public schools has always been a challenge as the schools are typically funded by the states homeowners. If you have a state with more children per household you could expect the taxes to be higher, but not much; the elderly don't want to pay more for property taxes to help fund "Ms. Jones"- 10 kids through public school, so the debate on a tax increase to add funding to education will always be a debate.
When a states money runs out and education is not on the top of agenda for the new fiscal year schools have to make do and that often means schools will be facing inadequate resources, and the inability to raise revenue themselves, school systems turned to an alternative source of direct revenue: their students.
Students now days are busier than ever and are lucky if they can get more than five hours of sleep a night, with school, a job, spending time with their friends, and any extra curricular activities such as sports, who needs to be worrying about clothes, studying and good academic performance should be the top priority.
Buckle down, if you can go to a private school with uniforms you really are a head of the game; buy simple and only what you need. If others have out grown their uniforms buy used ones. If you go to a public school buy one or two trendy things and keep the majority of your shopping to the basics- a good pair of shoes, jeans, and jacket will suffice. Another great idea is to share or swap with friends so you can keep your look updated with out paying out a fortune.
