The best education is ultimatly intimately private. The only real education is self education.

Can you tell I homeschool my children. My number 1 priority is helping my children to read so they can eventually self educate. I don't doubt that it will happen because my next priority is to set up an environment in the home where this is inevitable and I also set an extremely high priority on leading the way.

So ultimately this is my personal journey and my children are coming along because they are my family.

Oh, and it doesn't have to be expensive at all. We use a lot of library books and only buy the ones we really like. Amazon has tons of gently used or even new books for less than the cost of postage.



Good luck with your choice.

It depends on the school; not whether the school is public or private.

Example: In California and New York; the public school systems are the best in the coutry. Their private schools differ; some are well; some aren't.

It depends on how they allocate their resources and how much they actually use to teach students with.
If you ask me private schools that cost less than $15,000 a school year are not worth the money; mainly because they don't have enough money to operate efficiently; no matter how many students there are there.

You should check out the school; who knows; maybe it's priced under 10,000 but gets a lot of outside donations and is great.

Visit the schools in the neighborhood; ask for state wide exams data and you can pick from there.

It depends on the school. Private schools do not pay their teachers as well, so some say this makes them less passionate about their jobs. Private schools do limit enrollment, however, and smaller class sizes benefit many children. Public schools often offer a wider curriculum, so the kids get more choices, but public schools also are required to meet State Standards, so much of the curriculum is designated, where as in private schools, the teachers can explore different ideas. Private schools are not state-funded, but get their money from the parents/students. For many schools, this actually means better funding, so the technology and lab equipment is superior, but many lack the funds to support music, art, and extra curricular sports.

So, in a nutshell - visit the schools, talk to parents who have children who attend, and without being creepy, talk to the kids who attend both as well. Many of my students started in private schools for the smaller class sizes, but have transferred to public schools for the last four years.

You can also look into home schooling, but in my experience, the lack of social interaction makes many of these kids intelligent but socially inept - they have trouble working with others and do not join social clubs or try out for plays or team sports.

Honestly it all depends on the school.

My advice, do as much research on the public school you would like your children to attend and the private school you would like your children to attened. Figure out the teacher to student ratio, the cost of the school, extracuricular activies (does your child like sports? Take this into account if the public school has better sporting activies or vise versa)

In the end it doesn't matter if it's a private or public school, all that matters is the education your children get.


Good Luck!

Wow........you aren't really expecting an answer to this are you?

Best idea is to go to the closest private school, speak to the teachers, take a look at their curriculum, find out their student to teacher ratio and then look at the price per child per year.

Next, go to the closest public school on their parents' introduction night and have a walk around to talk to the teachers and review the curriculum.

Finally, if you really want to look this far ahead, have a chat with a University to see if the Public vs Private schools seem to churn out the better students (academically) or not. This is, after all, the ultimate goal for any student...........to enroll successfully in a post-secondary institutution.

I think most people (if they have the money) will opt for Private schools simply because they have fewer students per class.

in terms of gaining awareness of, perhaps, yet no longer unavoidably. some instructors and professors who make tonnes of money fairly do no longer care approximately what they're coaching anymore and the scholars only grow to be a pay verify fairly than beginners. Public college instructors would care extra using fact they did no longer care to pass to college for an incredible deal extra years for extra money. yet there are continuously terrible instructors. additionally, in inner maximum college i think of you have extra stress to do nicely using fact definitely everyone else is there supposedly to outshine definitely everyone else. I went to public college and it grow to be between the only right interior the rustic, inclusive of inner maximum faculties. it actual relies upon on the organisation i assume. you need to analyze the a threat institutions. i in my view would not pass to private college or deliver a baby to private college using fact of how judgemental and snobbish those with money are waiting to grow to be.
