Public or Private School is another continuing battle in the world of education and politics. There is no winner or loser, right or wrong.
The arguments of private education is the quality of the education itself. Supposedly a student who goes to private gets quality teachers, newer books, smaller classes, and individualized attention. A student who goes to private are less likely to be picked on by bullies. Private schools are ideal environment for your child’s education.
The arguments for public education comes down to the community and money. The money that is allocated to the school is based on the attendance of the school. If the attendance drops in the public school they get less money. Less funding means children who go to public school will not get the best education they deserve.
How do you feel about private schools or public schools in your area?
Whether kids go to public or private school, the most important thing is inspiration. Teachers who inspire students are the best teachers, most of our teachers are way too under-payed to be inspiring, especially at public schools.
I think you are absolutely right. Inspired students do better in school.
