Private Schools Annotated Bibliography

While reading I found a statement where the author says, “little wonder that business majors outnumber liberal-arts majors in the U.S. by two-to-one, and the trend is even more focused programs targeted to niches in the labor market.” I completely agree with that statement, because it takes jobs, businesses of all kinds, and people to keep jobs going and available in this world. When you analyze things even further and put it all on paper, it takes people to be a CPA, a financial broker, a stock broker, to be an accountant, a banker, and an investor or giver to keep the world functioning properly and keep businesses from going under because of financial problems. The author also makes a great statement, “many parents and students don’t realize that even top schools differ greatly in their ability to get students out the door to graduation on time.” I completely agree with that statement as well, because it all depends on how much the student wants to and is willing to learn. I found it interesting when the author compares a private school with a public school, because some people would never take the time to do that. A lot of people think a private school is better education for their children. The author mentions in the passage that one of his colleagues did some very detailed research and found that a private school has a lot more to offer students once they graduate, rather than one a public school does. I will completely agree with that. When I think of a public school, I think of very good education. “An expensive, private school may end up cheaper if a student doesn’t have to be there as long.” I find this statement very true, because when reading about private schools they are a lot stricter on their education and how they do things. Private schools don’t want students

Many parents find that public schools simply do not fit their students’ needs. In such cases, parents have to research schools that will fulfill not only their students’ needs, but also their own. Some families find that Charter schools, and Private schools are the two best choices. While some students find that main stream schooling is the right option for themselves, some students find that they are not reaching their full potential at public schools. Depending on the student at hand, and the families financial situation, private or charter schools could be the right choice. After all, each student is different in what they need as a learner.

In the United States, getting an education is very important. Children spend thirteen years of their life learning English, history, math, science, and various other subjects so that they may one day be a productive college student or a working class citizen. In fact, “There are 33,619 private schools in the United States, serving 5.4 million PK-12 students. Private schools account for 25 percent of the nation’s schools and enroll 10 percent of all PK-12 students” (“Council for American Private Education”). Parents face many issues when deciding which school is right for their child. However, the factors that determine their choice of a private or public school are often the results of various essentials that closely mirror the parent’s ideology in regards to education. Parents should send their children to a private school because private schools have smaller class sizes, the curriculum is more challenging, and the school environment is much safer than public schools.

Thesis Statement: Many parents question what is best for their child’s education, home schooling or public school. Home schooling can sometimes provide a more direct and focused education than public schools, Public School is better in many ways including the child’s social development.

Education is a very important part of a person’s life. Every parent want the best thing for their children. They want their children to be happy and to be able to achieve their dreams and be what they want to be, which is why they want the best education for their children. Because, almost everyone would agree that being well – educated is the closest way to success life and good future. But, their desire to send their kids to the best school have to face many obstacles. One of these obstacles would be choosing school for their kids. In the U.S., there are three types of school: public school, charter school and private school. Private schools are usually very selective, has better performance than government-funded school and has expensive tuition fee. Rich families would send their kids to private schools because they could afford the expense. However, for a normal family, paying the expense for private schools would be overwhelming. So, there options are narrowed between charter schools and public schools. There have been many debates on whether charter schools or public schools provide students with better education. But, there are obvious evidences that charter schools are generally better than public schools:

There are three inevitable things in life if you have kids: taxes, death, and sending your kid to school. When most families move, they look for things like distance from their work, the class and safeness of the neighborhood the house is in, and the quality of the school their kids would be attending. Parents want to see their kids be successful and education plays a key role in their future achievements. The obstacles most people encounter is that they cannot decide which school to send their kids. They do not even know which type of school to send them. Public schools seem to be the route that many families opt to choose. Public schooling consists of two main types: grade schools, such as district controlled school, or charter schools. Most parents often wonder “which school has been proven more” or “which school is right for my

Why private school? Does this help students or is it just an expensive alternative. The private school has not been around much longer than public school, and over time, the private school system has become much larger and more developed. The public school system is still and option the teachers lack the proper funding to develop the student on a personal level in addition to they lack proper motivation to better your children.

     I have examined and compared public versus private education. Also, this collection of information should help you understand differences between public and private schools. Aspects of equality and achievement in private and public education will be dissected and evaluated.

A good education is an essential part of a child’s development. Today, parents have a choice in their child’s education and can evaluate both public and private schools. Although both public and private schools provide education and opportunities for students, parents should evaluate the differences and choose the option that best suits their child and families’ needs. In this paper, I will compare and contrast five major areas that relate to public and private schools including class size, cost, curriculum, services, and teachers.

Many struggling parents wish they could send their children to private schools essentially from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. And so my question is: What is the real worth of a private education? According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Education posted by College Smart, private school students generally perform higher than their public school counterparts on standardized achievement tests. As a product of public elementary and high school education, I am currently seeing some of the struggles that public school students face after high school graduation when they enter college. I realize now that, behind the high tuition costs, private schools provide caring, challenges, and

Plato said, "You must train the children to their studies in a playful manner, and without any air of constraint, with the further object of discerning more readily the natural bent of their respective characters" (Plato). Education has increased as a topic of conversation among parents in America today. The importance of a good education has increased in value, and parents are searching for the best possible school for their child in preparation for college. Many believe the most opportune way for their child to succeed in studies is by attending a private school. On the other hand, another group of parents thinks that public schools are the better route. Nevertheless, public schools have been proven to be more successful in the

There are different types of education that a student may receive in today’s society. The choices are narrowed down into two main categories, public and private school. Many people in today’s society believe it’s better to send their children to private schools rather than public schools. To most parents deciding which school system will be better is based on curriculum, class size, and most of all cost. It’s not an easy choice for parents to decide, but many parents feel their child is worth receiving the best education offered.

As time has gone by, Americans have increasingly paid more attention to the schooling process, trying harder all the time to get the best education possible for their children. As a result, more parents are turning from the public school systems to the private schools. This happens for several reasons. First, students that graduate from private schools tend to be better prepared for college. Second, private schools open up many opportunities to succeed in the business world. Last, the private schools allow the parents and the student to decide which school they feel will give the student the best education possible. Overall, private schools offer a better education for high school students than do public schools.

The issue of whether private education is better than public has been debated for many years. Strong advocates of public education feel that children grow and progress better in a mixed environment. Although most private educational institutions do not harbor racial discrimination or discrimination against sexes, they do not have certain classifications that may not suit the masses. For example, a large number of private schools are religious based. Additionally, private school education is not paid for by the state, thus children who attend these facilities generally come from a financially stable background. The danger in this environment is that student
