Does a private school makes you more intelligent?

Intelligence is never measured by private or government school. Its measured by your thoughts and that makes you intelligent. Intelligent is that what is in you?

Whether your educational institution is expensive or not it is the reputation that really counts.Once an educational institution builds its reputation the fees becomes slowly enhanced on account of the merit associated with it.At one stage, if the entrance becomes stringent due to the heavy demand and this is still based on merit then what you say is valid.When you are in the midst of some stimulating company, even the average candidate does well if he is given the right encouragement. On the other hand there are some high profile schools which collect money because rich children come there but there is no real performance then there is no great advantage here. Intelligence gets enhanced by exposure, by the right sort of training, the extra facilities provided [these cost money].Grades are necessary because they become the tool to assess a person's intelligence as an entry point for a job.THat a person keeps it longlasting then depends on his consistent performance. Not all diploma holders do wonderfully well and not all the average scorers do badly in their jobs. But these become necessary for the entry point.

I do not think that makes people more intelligent, but it does provide a quality education and people get to do things in private school that they would not get to do in a public school. I sometimes wish that there were more private schools in the U.S. and that people got to choose which schools they want to go to because I think that they would value their education more.

School and formal education are really big factors in developing the abilities and skills of a person, but it doesn't mean that it's all about it. The capacity and potentials of a person doesn't really depend completely on the kind of school he/she has attended to, but instead, it aids the person in developing certain characteristics and sense of discipline that will be able to maximize his/her potentials. Intelligence comes from the person itself, and therefore exists even before formal training. I strongly believe that grades, diplomas, and the like are achievements and proof of performance, but not entirely tools in measuring intelligence. For me, the best indicator of intelligence is the capacity of exercising survival and those able to adapt to situations, thereby using everyday life as basis of true wisdom.

Learning in a private school does not necessarily makes you more intelligent. It also depends on how much work you do in private: research, reading etc. Intelligence is inherited somehow but it has to be developed along the time and this is exactly the aim of the school. Not all information taught in a school is retained by the students, but learning is a means of putting the brain to work and consequently to develop.

I am not sure private school makes one more intelligent but they provide good education and facility to their student as compare to the government school. Actually a intelligent boy seek a good school for studying and get admission on that school, college etc. But telling that intelligence is measured by the school is not so much true. Sorry i don't have experience person about whom i can tell.

Maybe there is some truth to this and maybe there isn't! In a private school I suppose the resources are far better and there's probably a lot of individual tuition as well as the pupil tends to do far better in terms of excelling in their chosen study field. That's not to say that if you don't attend a private school then you cannot become intelligent. I guess the saying is true, you get what you pay for. For those that can afford it, private schools and tuition is far better. I think it's true as well, and no one likes to admit that, that when going for job interviews the employer may well look favourably on someone that has been to a private school as well as attend Oxford or Cambridge University. This is a sad state of affairs but sadly true! There are different forms of intelligence though. I love to read a lot but I don't have a degree or anything like that. This doesn't mean that I'm not intelligent. I think reading helps a lot in improving intelligence. It improves your use of the language that you are reading and gives you excellent communication skills, this is what amounts to intelligence I think. Andrew

Depending on the children slow or fast response to learning as based on my experience. I remember I study in public schools during my elementary years up to first year highschool and then transfer from private schools studying from second year to college all private schools. I then transfer since in public schools their are many students with few quality teachers and only those students belonging to the first section receive all the quality learning and those belong to the last section are most of the time neglected. So the students are most of the time dumb and have slow responses to learning with few training they receive from teaching whereas if you belong to the top classes whether you studied in public schools their is hardly differences in terms of learning compare to those in private schools. The only differences they have more privileges, access to new technology and modern method of teaching, also the class room is not congested which heighten the differences on public schools. i also experience that when I study in private schools most students have more discipline since it is a private schools run by religious organization, i do not only learn about academic but they also taught their students about moral lesson and so becoming involve to with the community. Unlike when I studied in public schools I receive less attention unless i belong to the top section with lack of support like few books and the room is congested and i felt not too much care to the students activities and performance teaching being taught is not enough for the students to challenges their creativity is somehow lacking. When it is about the measurement of intelligence i think all schools have comes out with the prequisite requirements like GMAT. SAT and so on in other country while in my place they call it NCAE or admission test to college based on grades from schools and college entrance test combine to qualify. All those things you mention are also included as a way of measurements student Intelligence quotient which could match the kind of courses fit on their capability is so important and it is required most of the time.

I dont think so . I am not a product of private school in a primary grades but as I grow older we cannot turn to the other way except to study in private school. I am a working student so I am far from public school. In my mind the school is not the source of what you learned. Its in us how we respond to the teaching taught of our dear teachers to instill our minds to be knowledgeable. It does not matter whether private or public you studied but the most important thing is how you understand and apply it in your own way so that you will learn out from it. Its in the I.Q. of each individual not in wherever school it is. Many famous people coming from public schools long years ago than in private. But intelligence is came in the uniqueness of each individual to what level is her/his capacity to comprhend anything. Not in what school.

I think it is always depends on the student if he is studying well. It is regardless of what kind of institution are you in but the hard work of the student to learn. Here in my country, they never look at where did school have you graduated but your capacity to do the job.

honestly, i think tha the only thing that become you more inteligent is hard studding,, if u not study well, none diploma, private school or nothinh makes you more inteligent.

Well, Intelligence is the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity. Your capacity for learning or "intelligence" doesn't come from the school...but, I do believe it's true that certain positions for employment require a certain degree of "education"....the better your grades, and the type of diploma display to others, possibly, that you might be the "type" of person that will follow threw when given direction and have completed certain types of training to prove your dedicated. Of course, where this "training" comes from does play a part in the "standing" or "quality" of your EDUCATION....not so much your intelligence. But, that's just my opinion. Have a good one!! Tidwell

It actually depends on your professor and whether your university supports quality education. Sometimes it also depends on you classmates. Because the more intelligent classmates you have, the more you try hard to at least reach their level. In highschool in our country it is different. In province, public schools are preferred by parents but in cities private schools are preferred. There are different reasons for this.

hello, maybe child enters in a private school is just having those teaching techniques that are advance rather taking in some public schools but does not mean that your child become intelligent when his/her in a private school... it is up to your childs learning capability ...

Hmmm.. I don't really agree that if you will go to a private school it will make you more intelligent. Here in our place, the students studying in a public school are the ones who is more intelligent..

I would think that private schools would have a lower ratio of students so they should get more attention and there for learn more. Also the IQ of such a student should tell the story. I always thought a private school was one that housed the students as well as taught them.

ya sometimes the private schools make good classes. because they have good faculties and facilities because they have the financial strength to raise the standards

A school private orotherwise is nothing but a tool to the educational development of an individual. It's good if the student use it to good advantage. It's the student himself who's 100% responsible for what he'll be in the future. The school is secondary.

i went to a Private School, only in Britian they are called"Public Schools, and thir other State run schools are called the Elimentary. I don't think it made me more intelligent, I was relatively bright, before going, I will say thst the tuition is better, as i went to a State Run College and it was awful. It was either that or Boarding School and I was not keen on that. The pass rate at Private Schools is greater.

the school is not responsible for your intelligence i guess... i think its upon the person how far he tries to understand the concepts clearly... intelligence has nothing to do with rank,grade and other stuff..what u all need to do is apply everything in practical life.. i think dis is the real intelligence.. school or college can only teach certain things but to make out sumthing from it is upto us..
