Big school or small school

So today’s prompt is “big school or small school“ from head start through eighth grade I went to a public school, and by the time I was in middle school I had nearly forty classmates in one classroom and once I reached high school and went to SIS, a private school. I went from forty classmates to thirty classmates. It was quite an adjustment for me but I learned to deal with it. I think it really depends on whether you’re comfortable with a large majority of students or a small majority and if “school” is elementary, high school, or a college.

Going to a big school has its upsides and downsides. Some upsides to going to a big school is that since there are many students, you can meet new people who later might become some of your closest friends. Going to a big school would mean that there are many students from all over the world and you can learn their cultures and languages if you want to. Going to a big school means that there are more electives, classes, which you could choose from giving more opinions on what you want. Some downsides on going to a big school however is that there is not much of a student-teacher interaction or help because there would probably be more than thirty students in a class and the teacher would not have enough time to help to every students needs.

Just like a big school, there are also upsides and downsides to a small school. The upsides of going to a small school are that the student-teacher interaction is good. The teacher would definitely have more time for the students than a teacher from a big school, there would be closeness between them and that’s good.  Also having a small selection of students lets you get to know every student much better since a big school has so many students it would be difficult to try to know every single one of them. The downsides of going to a small school though is that since there are few students there would probably be few electives/classes to choose from and you might be stuck in a class you don’t even want to be in.

To me it really doesn’t matter whether you’re going to college or going starting high school, I prefer going to a big school. In my eyes there are better opportunities in a big school and I I’ve had most of my life in a big school and I still want to go to a big school. My reasons are all up there from what I typed down, so yeah, big school in my opinion are way better than small schools.
