Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids?
nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoare you referring to the UK or the American concept of Private schools? It’s backwards over there, right? Private are the basic schools most people go to whereas Public schools are the fancy ones rich kids get sent to?

Public schools are what Americans call private schools, the other ones are state schools, academies, council schools, etc.

i won’t usually make the case for a usamerican concept making sense (because most don’t), but the UK standard is kinda backwards, innit?
like, a “Public school” (UK) is very much not open to the public … a concept commonly referred to as being “private”, yeah?
am i missing something??
