Private School Vs. Public School

Based on the ruling of this court case, it has been determined that no matter how innocent the act might be, one needs to be careful not to overstep the boundaries of public versus parochial education. It is a person’s choice to attend a private or parochial institution but with that decision comes the harsh reality that, even though some benefits are made available to the public school system and that a person is a tax paying citizen, a parochial education will cost more due to the fact that monetary benefits are not made available to assist in the support of the institution and help pay for the curriculum and the wages of the employees.

Throughout my entire educational career, even as a child up to the present time I have received a public schooling education. Many people think that by attending a private school you will receive a

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

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.

According to Albert Shanker (1993), it is not possible to compare student achievements in public and private schools. However, it is popular belief that students who attend private schools are more equipped for college or the workforce. Also, there is some debate that public schools should rise up to the standards of private schools. In my opinion, the only difference between public and private schools is prestige. Not all public schools are the same, but the Americans need to start challenging the public education system. Therefore, the concept of my show is very relevant to the issues in our society.

~ School outfits can portray the students as scholarly. From this, administrators will treat the school and students like a private school. In addition, if the administrators treat a public school as a private school, students will have higher

After accounting for the socio-economic and demographic profiles of students and schools, students in OECD countries who attend private schools show performance that is similar to that of students enrolled in public schools.

I had gone to public schooling all my life, not that I don’t see any difference in public school compared to private schooling. But, that’s not how I viewed in middle school once I was faced with the decision from my parents that I would start attending O’Gorman Junior High the rest of my middle school career, they were voices were almost muffled as my eyes were swelling up with tears. It was the worst day of my life, until the first day of school crept up on me a few months later.

The United States prides itself on its public education system making it a core value of many families. The level of education a person has will influence their career achievements. Americans expect their public system of education to provide a solid curriculum. Most of the people in the United States place their trust in the public school system in which they support through taxes. This trust although is contradicted by the public system of education’s current shape. Much of the schools in the United States are either deteriorating, or failing all together. The drawbacks of public education create an unhealthy environment for student learning.

     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.

Children attending private schools sometimes do not understand that such education is a privilege rather than a must-have. My aunt’s daughter was attending a private high school in the Dominican Republic. Instead of trying to do her best, my cousin opted to miss days from school and consequently her grades dropped, which resulted in her then having to attend a public high school. Public education could not do much for her. She said, “I’m out a few days and I’m able to pick up right away, but that would not have been the case

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

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

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
