The intensity level of work is much higher in most private schools, but if you want your child to be able to work and adapt in the real world, send them to public school. I went to public school, and it was by far the greatest experience because I learned the values of diversity. I had friends of every race, and it made me better off in college and in my work. Someone who attends a private school with only one major race does not expose them to the diversity they need. Public school is the number one choice for my kids.

I would definitely send them to the private school. Myself studied in the private and government schools. I know the difference between those two. With the experience I am saying its better to join the children in the private. There they teach well and take care well with extra effort(than public schools).

Well I suppose private education has to be the best the classes are smaller and the kids that go know their parents are paying and feel dutybound to do well.Saying that my son is doing very well in the state school system.Private education is do expensive and is well out of our salery bracket.If I had the choice I would send my son to a private school but that is not going to happen now.Many private schools are shutting in England as people just cannot afford to pay the fees anymore so they are coming into the state system schools and places are short.I must say one thing though my son has met a good cross section of society and can deal with most situations which is another good education as well.kids in private school do not get the social mix so some of them are going to get a bit of a shock when they enter the state system and so will their parents.

i would definitely send my kids to the best schools ever. Education is after all the Biggest gift you can give your kids. so i would send them to a private school. Provate schools compete with each other to provide higher quality of education and so we know that their quality level would never go down
