Private Schools : Private School Vs. Public

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.

On the other side, public school has their own advantages and disadvantages. Public have larger class size and more students than private. The students would have more diverse culture. Public school don’t charge tuitions and aloud every kids to have educations for their future. Public receive Federal funds from the government. Teachers are pay much better than private school and this give them better investment in their careers. Students are also provided with transportation and all teachers are certified educational instructors (Elizabeth 1). Public school gives students a free bus transportation that parents won’t have to pick them up.They also have more curricular activities and programs (Pros and Cons School Attendance 1). Disadvantages are that they have follow government rules for teaching the students. The public school cannot make their own decisions for the student what they want to learn. The government keeps a lot of information from the parents, students, and teachers to know about. There are harder choices to which you can hang out with (Elizabeth 1).

But when a private school and a public school are analyzed side by side they are not much different. At the end of the day, it comes down to reputation and tradition. Most assume a school with a very good reputation and a very strong tradition will correlate to a very strong, academically motivated student body, but things change and many fail to realize how quick a reputation can be built up and or destroyed. School is school, and I truly believe that it doesn't matter where you go,( to an extent) all that matters is what one does with his or her

“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. Most private school students (79 percent) attend religiously-affiliated schools and most private schools are small: 87 percent have fewer than 300

Public school is a school that is maintained at public expense for the education of the children of a community that constitutes a part of a system of free public education commonly including primary and secondary schools. On the other hand private school is a school founded, conducted, and maintained by a private group rather than by the government, usually charging tuition and often following a particular philosophy, viewpoint, etc. There are many differences between a Public School and a Private School, one difference is that in public schools teachers need to be certified but in private schools they do not need it. Many public schools do a good job of preparing students for college, but some others do not prepare their students. Private schools don’t have to follow state laws about what to teach. They offer special programs. “There is no doubt that the recession makes public schools seem attractive. Parents are tightening their belts, and, given the astronomical and ever-climbing cost of college, it’s very tempting to choose a public school over a private school.”

Education is the foundation upon which society is built. Child development is greatly affected by it. School teaches kids not only information, but also gives them problem-solving and social skills. These traits are even more essential to becoming a citizen capable of competing in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Students need real 21st century abilities only effectively received from an educational institution. Education also provides the learning for students necessary to get jobs. Jobs circulate the economy and further our health, technology, and wealth. A good school system equals an innovative and well-established

Louisiana is ranked 48th in education in the United States by the American Legislative Exchange Council. We can see this in the poorly funded and low resourced schools we have here in New Orleans. There is a great divide in what students are receiving a quality education. In New Orleans the public schools often have ninety percent or more students who are African-American and Latino. The public schools are mainly chartered and filled with young, white, Ivy League educated teachers who have made a two year to serve underprivileged students. According to the Washington Post, 79% of New Orleans public school students attend a charter school– the highest percentage of students in charters in the United States. On the other end of the spectrum New Orleans private schools are predominately white (with exceptions like historically black St. Augustine). These students not only receive a well-funded education, most of them came from families that have resources to help them if they needed it. In this paper I will share my experience of switching from attending a public school to a private school and then argue why the disparities between them are unfair.

Most kids like the school Uniforms, but most kids don’t. I believe kids should have the freedom to be creative and have individuality. The most thing that is bad about having a school uniform is that if you have a ton of casual clothes then what are you supposed to do with the clothes?! Just give it away, sell it?

Understand that educating in government funded schools differs from instructing in private schools.Both offer the chance to work with youngsters once a day, however each has their favorable circumstances and disadvantages.Teaching is an exceptionally focused field, and on occasion it appears as though there are a larger number of educators than there are occupations accessible.

Thesis Statement: Private school students are more likely to have a better viewpoint in learning, a firm stance in education, and will be more successful in colleges than of public school students.

(A) In Ontario, there are 31 Public English school boards and 29 English Catholic school boards (Ministry of Education, n.d.). There are also 4 French Public school boards and 8 French Catholic school boards (Ministry of Education, n.d.). Public school boards or private schools are the ones who hire elementary school teachers ("Elementary School Teacher.", n.d.). In 2014-2015, there were about 115,156 full-time teachers, about 74,960 elementary schools and 40, 196 secondary teachers (Ministry of Education, n.d.). During the same time, there were about 7,329 principals and vice principals and about 9,198 childhood educators (Ministry of Education, n.d.). Those in senior administrative positions, such as principal or vice-principal, are able to earn a higher salary ("Elementary School Teacher.", n.d.). There are many jobs that involve working with kids other than being a teacher ("Elementary School Teacher.", n.d.). After gaining more working experience, many teachers become principals or guidance counselors. Other possible carriers include, librarian, supply teacher, camp counselor, early childhood educator, professor, social worker as well as child and youth worker ("Elementary School Teacher.", n.d.).

In a Public school, the classes are much larger and have to cater for groups of students, not individuals. The interviewee for this project said that he felt that Public School Teachers didn’t care for him as an individual which made him grow in areas such as independence, but also made him lack in education skills. He also felt that the private schools, one-on-one time, was more like babysitting the students and was encouraging the students to rely on their teachers to do their assignments. Public School Classrooms are built to cater for a large amount of students whereas the Private School classrooms are spread out and have state of the art technology to help their students. This can be seen in figure one with the comparison between the two classrooms. The Public School classroom is larger but with more desks and chairs to fit more students whereas the Private School classroom has new Mac computers and much more room.

The quality of teaching and the expectations of the students differ from the two schools. Advocates of private school argue that the education received in one of these facilities is more valuable and

The government is the reason we have order, safety, schools, roads, and many more things that we don't think too much about in our everyday lives. There are two branches of government the Democrats, and the Republicans. Our president, Donald Trump, is a republican. He believes in more investment in our military than our schooling. We already took a pay cut in our schooling system because of that, and the money that is going towards our schools are either going to public or private schools. But is it really necessary for the government to fund private schools when students already have to pay tuition? The government should be funding more towards public schooling.

Many parents feel their children are not being challenged enough in public schools. Some of these children are doing well but clearly could do more, could be stretched intellectually. From their parents' point of view, they spend far too much time watching television, wandering around the mall, or playing games on their computers. Many parents are consequently drawn to private schools because of the academic rigor that comes with smaller classes, more personal attention, and teachers who nurture and promote each child's talents. There is no question that private schools offer smaller classes than most public schools in the country. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 1998-99 the median student-teacher ratio in NAIS schools was 9 to 1 while that in public schools was 17 to 1. Smaller classes make it difficult for a student to hide or slide. In a room with only 14 other students, it is difficult to remain uninvolved or consistently unprepared. Teachers can get to know 15 students much better and faster than 30. Smaller classes promote more faculty member-student interaction, and most kids
