Public schools or Private schools?

Question

in your opinion what schools are a better choice? not having anything to do with religion or belief?

Answer 1

There is no way to say one is totally better than the other. People want different things from their schools. Some want superior education, some want schools that are close by, some want a variety of activities or some specific activity, some want to protect their kids from bad people, some want their kids to experience lots of kinds of people. People who choose private schools think that private education is better, but many who are in public schools think that they are the better choice. It depends on what you want or need.

Answer 2

Public, cuz you don't have to pay. and you have more friends. and you can be any person and teachers don't expaect more thing you can't do in lessons i.e higher grade that you can't get.

Answer 3

They both have there pros and cons.  My personal opinion is public schools.  I think that kids that go to public schools are a little deprived about what what is going on in life.  They go to private school and there is a lot less freedom, which means later maturity.  Go to private school and your kid may get a little bit better grades but will be lacking the street smarts.  As I said there are many pros and cons on this matter.

Answer 4

It depends on where you live.  In cities, I would go private, but in the suburbs, it's public all the way!  Where I live, our public high school is in the top 25 in the nation, so I chose not to commute to a charter school.  My friend goes to private school and she HATES it.  She doesn't like any of the people and it's hard for her because most of the people don't live nearby. It's a choice.

Answer 5

I'm not really sure. Some people believe private schools are better because their safer and supposedly provide better education but public school is free. There are some really good public schools.

I go to a state school. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

It depends on the kid and the school.  Public schools tend to offer a broader social life which is something that some kids prefer.  Private schools tend to be a little tougher on the academic work though and usually not to offer such a broad social life which might suit other kids better.  I went to a Christian elementary school, a public middle school, and now a private but not religious high school.  Personally I prefer my high school to all of them because the environment there is really comfortable for me.  It's different from the public school because most of the kids there actually care about their schoolwork whether they want to be there or not.  Also the teachers seem to care a lot more and because there are fewer students they are able to pay more individual attention to their students.  I don't know though like I said it really depends on the kid and the school.

Answer 7

private schools are WAAY better

Answer 8

public if your bright and private if your dumb

i'm not trying to insult anyone as i know loads of clever people go private school... mainly clever people

but a clever person will do well in a public school and if they come out with all A*s and As at A level oxbridge will be very impressed as they haven't had a privileged education.

but people less bright will do better in a private school because they get more help yada yada yada

Answer 9

Our society view public schools as socially and academically inferior to private schools.  However public schools do have its advantage by providing an appropriate education to special needs students.  If you don't have a special needs child, I would recommend the private school.
