Pros and Cons of Private Schools

According to Samuel Flam and William Keane authors of Public Schools: Private Enterprise, the definition of privatize is “...the process of turning over to private companies, programs, services and sometimes properties previously operated and/or owned by a government agency” (Flam & Keane, 1997, p.15). Privatizing of a school service is selling a service of the school district to a private company that runs, maintains and keeps up the service. The school district no longer oversees this service and virtually has no control over what they do but outsourcing this service would cut back on the economic spending of the school. A school service is something that students receive that is provided for them in school to enhance their well-being. In the school system, some examples of services that could be outsourced by a private company are school lunches, buses and janitor staff. According to Joe Argon author of Changing of the Guard, “for schools, transportation, food service, HVAC maintenance, computer servicing and printing continue to be the areas privatized most often” (Argon, 1997). The main issue behind this is finding out if privatizing school services does the school district more harm or good and what happens to the services and students after they have been privatized.

While policymakers are readily seeking ways to improve the academic success of chartering organizations, Arizona is given a huge opportunity to provide leadership and usher the way into the next era of education.

There are so many colleges to choose from .The question is what type of college is the best, out of state, public, or private college? The choice you make can impact the amount of money you spend and your whole college experience.

Improving education has become an urgent concern for policy makers around the world while countries are experimenting with charter schools, voucher programs, and innovations in private schooling. Privatization must be comprehensively examined to determine if it's use should continue. A cornerstone of this debate lies in understanding how privatization impacts student achievement. Attention must be also be given to the inequities that can occur with increased privatization. Furthermore, the complexities that accompany privatization forge many peripheral effects that must also be examined. An evaluation of these key facets of privatization will help to determine whether or not schools should become more privatized.

Since the 1980s, charter schools have allowed families to exercise school choice, a practice that had begun a few decades earlier when parents preferred to control their children’s education because of religious views or racial prejudices. As dissatisfaction with the performance public schools grew during the late 20th century, parents called on government to subsidize an arrangement where children could receive adequate education outside of the traditional public school system. Thus, two major school choice devices emerged: charter schools, privately run schools that receive public funding, and tuition vouchers, which cover some or all of tuition at participating private schools.

In the lasts decades higher education tuition has increased considerably. As a result, most of Americans students finish their bachelor’s degree indebted with student loans. After all the sacrifices and hard work that college students do to graduate, it is uncertain if they will get an acceptable job. Some of colleges students think that the student loan debt is worth it, but some students think the opposite. Students who think that the debt is worth it usually want to improve their lifestyle. In the other hand, people who thinks that tuition is expensive considered just study high school. For that reason, some people think that it is better not study a higher education and find a job that pays well. A high school diploma can not be compere to a bachelor’s degree. Study in college expand students knowledge and made students independents and matures. Most of the unique experience a young adult can experiment is in college. Also, exist community college for people with low income. Every American should have the opportunity to study higher education because that will be beneficial in many aspects of the person.

For too long, and for reasons that range from lack of district funding to inexperienced teachers and everything in between, too many public schools have been underserving and failing our children. Until fairly recently in this country’s educational history, the only option to public school was private schools, and this was a privilege that only the children of the wealthy and elite enjoyed. However, in the 1970s, the conception of charter schools, first posed by Ray Budde, an American university professor with a natural interest in organizational theory, began to take shape and take root across the U.S. As of the 2011-2012 school year, there were 2.1 million students enrolled in charter schools across the country; as of the 2012-2013 school year, there were almost 6,000 charter schools in the U.S. (eight states do not have any charter schools at all). Ohio has 353 charter schools, with performance ratings, or report cards, that are all over the map. Unfortunately, widely-ranging performance ratings across different charter schools are not unique to Ohio. While there are states that have higher performance ratings, there are also

Equal opportunity is an extremely important policy that the United States was based on. The United States has always been seen as the country where no matter a person’s situation he/she should have the same opportunity as everyone else. The point of equal opportunity is to prevent someone from having an advantage over another person based solely off social class. The United States government historical has passed laws in effort to make sure opportunity is equal to the best of their ability. The one place where equal opportunity is not considered is in private high schools. Private schooling gives the students who have the means to enroll a better learning opportunity than students who do not have families with enough money to pay for tuition. Although, not all private school are better than public education, some private school provide students with a worse education and the students’ parents are stripping students of the education the students seek to receive. The disadvantages to allowing private schools to be such a large part of the American school system highly outweigh the benefits. Private school cause unfairness in the education system by creating unequal education of students, by taking money from public schools, and by creating stereotypes about students.

Institutional power of higher education enables students to find their place in society and later in life reaping the benefits of having immense knowledge. What are the benefits of having higher education? If you don’t have any education then what is your place in society? Due to my “limited” English I faced limitations throughout my middle and high school experiences. College has been an ambiguous thought never to be turned into reality. My reality is I belong to a low status in American society because my parents make less than twenty-five thousand annually. My thought process changed in high school where I noticed everyone was like in a race to climb the ladder of success. I met some special people like me who gave me advice and inspiration. They expected me not to go to army, but to college. A lot of factors contributed to the fact that going to college is a good decision. First, college life teaches people to be responsible and to carve out their way into society. Secondly, I have experienced shattering expectations have devastating results. Living up to your loved ones’ expectations give you a reason to succeed. Lastly, the more intelligent you are the better quality of life you are likely to have and be in a better position than others. Structure was the primary factor in my decision of going to college.

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.”

In the ending months of high school many seniors are tasked with the challenging decision of which college they want to attend and what they would like to major in. A student will also have the choice of if they would rather like to attend a smaller private college, or a larger public one. That Question comes in many people's’ minds when they think, “would I rather like to attend a public or private college?”. Although both a public and private college both leads to students getting a degree in what they are majoring in, many people disagree on which type of college would give them the best opportunity.

In this generation, having education degree provide many job opportunities. Many graduate seek after college graduate to fill a job application. Gaining a higher education and getting college degree will improve their reputation as a professional. College degree not only make them professional, it makes them more marketable to choice of profitable carrier option. While high school graduate seek forward to entry level position to get job but teenager who has four year college degree will be suitable for higher paying job and entry. They also might get upper level position to their job satisfaction. Teenager who will earn college degree at any major will open door for them because there are many benefits of getting degree. Those teenager doesn’t

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.

Nowadays, there is too much competition in finding good jobs, and candidates are required to have a higher education with good experience. The higher the education we have, the more opportunity we will have. The people who have college or university degree or certificate will able to get good jobs. The final purpose after a long process of study is to improve their life by getting good jobs. It also shows that the most degrees or certificates we get from educational institute are used to support job application. The most important stage in our lives is to build or develop our career and most of the people after graduation from high school sign up for colleges or universities to become well educated and trained in their field. Some of them go for professional degrees and some of them like to choose major in specific subjects. Colleges and the universities are the place who make people’s achieve their aims or goals by preparing them for a field they have been chosen. For example, if I go to the engineering school, they will teach me everything about engineering, and they will

No one thinks twice about whether or not a child needs an education. As children grow, parents must decide what route to take concerning education. The options include, but are not limited to, sending children to a private or a public school. Deciding which type of schooling depends solely on personal preference. The argument ‘If You Send Your Kid to Private School, You Are a Bad Person’ by Allison Benedikt, argued that sending children to private schools ultimately depletes actions to achieve what is best for the students. Although, Benedikt’s piece uses premises, and personal testimonies, overall the argument presented is lacking.
