How does the state ensure= Equal Opportunity Education?

There is certain criteria that must be met by every student, no matter where they go to school. This criteria is established by the State Board of Education. They cannot graduate without meeting that criteria. However, the private schools generally have smaller classes which means that each student receives a better quality education, not necessarily more education. My kids went to both public and private schools. I pulled them out of their private school when I realized the officials there were running it like a military camp! This was NOT a military school but my poor kids were carrying their weight in textbooks and had homework that took over 3 hours per night to complete... AND THIS WAS ELEMENTARY (primary) SCHOOL!!! Unfortunately, the public schools are way overcrowded in most cities and the slower students do get left behind. I was sickened when I saw something one of my son's former classmates wrote. He couldn't spell at all! It was sad. The slower students or those who simply don't want to learn, get lost in the shuffle and passed anyway, even when they can't spell or do basic math. If I had known about home schooling when my kids were little, I would have done that. I worked from home, being an independent contractor for printing pre-press companies, typesetting and proofreading. Having my kids at home would guarantee that they learned what they were supposed to learn. But, they would also miss out on one very important aspect of school: socializing and learning social skills. That only comes from interacting with others. The bottom line is, if the teacher says the student has learned the stuff they're supposed to learn, the State issues them a diploma. It doesn't mean that every student has actually learned everything, though. Sometimes, the teachers get so frustrated that they'll pass certain students just go get rid of them. It really is a sad state we live in, at least here in the U.S.

I think,the children should be happy in young age and not pressure in their.They will remember the happy time in the past of life.I think most private schools more strict and more learn, sometime children will not have happy.
