Public School vs. Christian school

well, I would rather send my kids to a christian school, than a public school anywhere around where we live, however, they are not as expensive as most private schools, but still are pretty expensive. The cheapest christian school where I live is $8600.00 a year, now I have three kids so that would come out to almost $26000 a year, which is impossible for us to do. Although I would love to have my children learn about God and not have it shoved away from them, I cant afford it, I wish I could though.

I'm an Italian cattolic I'm too young for children but When I'll have one I send they to a public school because the bible and same things can be know in Church. The school serves to know other than bible! To approach to religion the kids need the family not the school! Blessed are the poor says our Lord and the church ask thousands of dollars for give to give what they should do for free! Try to finance public schools do not give money to those who already! But you Americans do not even know the meaning of public services because in your country who lives only who has enough money! Unfortunately, what happens always in your "great" nation is about to happen here in Italia with this government of galley.

My son went to a private Christian school for Kindergarten and first grade, a private secular school for 3rd grade and a Montessori school for 4th grade. After that - and until he graduated - we home schooled. Why did I choose private schools? Because the public schools could not (and would not) give my son the education he needed. My son was tested at age 2 as having an IQ of 164. By age 3, he had taught himself how to read. By age 5, he was reading books at a 4th grade level. The public school refused to consider that he might be "bright" and told me that any testing would wait until the end of 2nd grade. I knew by then he would have hated school or have been kicked out if he had to wait for everyone else to learn things he already knew. In his first school, the private Christian school, not only did he get the Christian education we wanted, but he was in a classroom with kids in kindergarten through second grade. He played with the kindergartners, but read with the second graders. It was ideal for him. And we could afford it because we already had been used to paying money for his preschool - and the private school was not more than we had been paying for that. Our budget did not change. We also chose private schoools, then home schooling, because public schools taught things we didn't agree with and because most public school kids ended up being so self-centered and selfish, compared with those who were educated in ANY private schools or home schooled.

I sent both of my boys to Christian school. A lot of people send their children to Parents send their children to Christians schools for reasons other than Christianity or religion. It has been my experience that accredited or not, these schools generally have a better curriculum, smaller classes, one on one tutoring/teaching as part of their program, and show children the importance of values, family, personal responsibility, and of course God. The school my boys attended was not accredited then but is now. I made no difference to me. In fact, my niece lived with me when she was in an 8th grade public school and my youngest son, who was in 5th grade at Christian school; He helped her with her homework! Accreditation is a means of self evaluation and improvement of the school based on certain criteria, set by who is giving the accreditation. The school applies and works toward the basic accreditation criteria. A visit is made once the school believes it has a plan in place to achieve accreditation. The visiting team marks the schools strengths, weaknesses, and addresses any concern that is need immediately in order to be approved. Once approved, usually by a board higher up than the visiting team, a plan is followed by the school for self improvement based on the teams report. After a stated number of years, the school is visited again, reports are submitted to the school and the process starts all over. Requirements can vary greatly depending on who is giving the accreditation and what state laws are in place. It really is all about how much education means to the parents and what they want for their children. where we live the public schools are not very good, though they have improved here lately. I know that children spend much of their lives in school. I wanted my children to be in a loving environment that inspired them to be the best they could be and to have a relationship with Christ.

public school it shows the different walks of life and exposes ur child or you to different religions or income levels they are better for the real world
