Normal?

Private schools cost. But that doesn't make them better than all public schools. To be better than a public school it will cost more than the cheapest private school.

so what is the best about private school?

Nothing.

What is better about some private schools? If you can afford the price - maybe, better teachers, better facilities, wealthier students (who may be from better homes), diversity, fewer silly rules (replacing public holidays with school?!), English and everything about it, international curriculum...

I don't study at international school.
But, I do have friends studying there.
In my opinion, those who study at international school are from a rich family background.
Some are very arrogant cause they think they're so rich.
And, most of the topics that they talk about are always expensive stuffs etc etc. (Pointing to those arrogant ones)
You're not rich, you have nothing to talk with them.  doh.gif

Just my opinion from what I see in my friends who study there.
No offence to those who are studying there.  notworthy.gif  I'm just pointing out some that are arrogant.  rclxub.gif

International schools are getting more affordable these days. You may want to check out Sri Emas International School: http://www.sriemas.edu.my/. I do have friends studying there and they are from average families.

My cousins are in REAL school, but since they are boys.... Stuff that they normally discuss with friends are latest gadget and games (PS4,etc). They don't really do sports, hm.

btw, what do you really wanted to know? Culture? Education outcome? I can't answer that because it's too general.

well boys will forever be boys, thats what they say.
Actually what Im looking for is the general stuff. Environment, relationship with teachers, how happy is the students there, etc. I've visited schools with flashy buildings but not too sure about the teachers tho.

I heard Tenby International School's not bad too.

Well, according to my observation, as long as the kids can adapt with their surroundings, then you have no worries. (of course you have to keep watching over them)

My cousins transferred from Perth, they said some kids can be really Ah Beng, like,"what you do ah?" lol. Normally they have events, and do a lot of visits to interesting places. More like learning is fun style, more exposure. It's a good thing.

Teachers normally are friendly and helpful. nod.gif

I think you're being too cynical and suspicious there. It's not like the school can really hide their infrastructure from you for one to two days.
