Pros and Cons of Private Schools

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Being able to continue a higher education by entering a college is a significant social concern on both competence and equity grounds. The actuality of socio economic barriers which obstruct youngsters from lower income families from continuing their education limits their potentials and capabilities, therefore restraining the growth in economy, and likewise it also raises people’s concerns about opportunity equality. Entering a college is considered to be a big part of our lives. With college (a higher education), there will be more job opportunities choices for us to choose from in the future. It will be the beginning of a better career path for us as compared to those people who did not study in a college. Also, with a higher education level, we will be paid with higher salary as compared to those who did not complete their college. Having a higher education means that we will widen our knowledge and skills, and at the same time also enhance our character and personality. Studying in a college give us the chance to interact and meet new friends with different backgrounds which allows us to learn new things. We will also have a bigger scope of our surroundings, increasing our understanding for the country and community. Hence, we can see that having a higher education will only give us benefits. A person’s ability to join a college depends on many different factors such as Parent’s level of education, grades, family income, gender and race. All these factors have influence

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.

American students aren’t developing as many science, math or language skills as students in other countries. When American students took a two hour test it showed how they did compared to their peers from around the world and the results were disappointing. While U.S. schools struggled to reach even an average score on a key international exam for 15 year olds in 2012, BASIS Tucson North, an economically modest, ethnically diverse charter school in Arizona, outperformed every country in the world, and left even Shanghai, China’s academic gem in the dust (Kronholz). The problem isn’t the students because they’re as smart as those students in different countries but the problem is our public school system. Our students need the skills and

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

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.

Another issue is that the lack of variety could not be interesting to the student which causes them to lose focus. If the student is restricted to math, science, history, and literature how will they expand their knowledge of technology and business? God has an individual purpose and set of skills for everyone in their life. Students should not have a limited variety of opportunities that can help students reach their God-given potential. This is a major defect that most private schools contain within their system. Even though private schools have deeper teachings on certain classes, they lack a variety of experience that will expand the students’ minds.

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?

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.
