Do you feel private school is better than public school? email this discussion to a friend?

SarahBelle (34)3 years ago

What, in your opinon, are the differences b/t private and public schools? Which do your children attend, or if you were to have any...which would you want them to attend? Do you think there is a higher education in one, versus the other? Better enviroment?
Discuss.

I think it depends where you live. I have taught in both, and in my area the private schools do not offer a better education. My children go to public school, while I teach in another public school in another district.

Where I live public schools, as a general rule, are not as good as private. My son goes to a Catholic School, run by Jesuits.

I went to private school from sophomore until I graduated from high school. I had great education. If I have another girl in the future, that where I want my daughter to go for high school. I believe she will have a better education and able to meet friends from all over the world. I went to all girls boarding school and I loved it. We had curfew, time to study at night, time to go to bed, where we can go during the weekend, I know it sound little strict but I think kids these days need thoes. But I think it up to the parents and where you live too.

yes b/c of all the drugs and violence in public schools these days and plus in private school u know ur kids are safe and are actually learning cause they help your kids more than public schools.

Don't kid yourself on this point. If anything, private school kids have the best drugs because they have the money to buy them.


myLot reputation of 54/100. johnsgirl (122)  3 years ago

actually i can't agree cause i believe they are more safe than any school.....yeah some may have money to get the best drugs but more than likely they aren't going to.


myLot reputation of 78/100. DeenaD (2165)  3 years ago

I am only speaking from my experience, having taught in both environments.

We all think private schools are better because they cost a fortune, not true. Alot of parents have no clue as to what goes on behind the scenes, with teachers, students, staff members. They're all still humans, don't forget that.

i think private school or public doesnt matter. it really depend to the system of the school itself. i have 2 kids in primary studying in public and 2 in secondary studying in private. i cant see any difference. sometimes its more strict in public than in private. i am talking about teaching standard almost the same.

We're homeschooling, but I think in my area the public schools are pretty good. Private is generally better in most places.

Good for you! I admire parents who have the ability and the inclination to homeschool. At the start of my first year of teaching, a mother came to see me. Her daughter had been homeschooled up to that point, but now that the girl was entering ninth grade, the mother was sending her to high school because she didn't feel she could teach her daughter all of the subjects at that level. I'm ashamed to admit I was expecting a quiet, akward, naive sort of girl. But the girl who showed up in my classroom was nothing like what I expected. She was confident and cool, she fit right in and made friends immediately, and she was SMART. She was the only student in my class that year who already knew the difference between a possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun, because her mother had taught her this at home. So bravo, homeschoolers!

in my experience private far defeats public in every way. The athletic coaches were complete jokes in a public school, because they had to please everyone. There is less politics with sports in a private school.... Not to mention that private schools are much better academically because they demand excellence and the best. Public schools just try to get you to graduation and get you out. This may be different in other areas, but i would take my old private school over any public school any day of the year
