I would like to compare and contrast public and private education. Funding is one of the biggest differences between public and private schools. The public schools have lotteries and the government to fund them. Just because funding comes from taxes does not mean that every public school is funded at the same level. As a result, the public school has to take any student wanting to enroll. The private schools however, depend on expensive tuitions, and donations to keep them afloat. These schools can accept or deny a student into the school. Extra-curricular activities suffer in the private schools due to the lack of funding. Other differences in the private and public educational sectors are crime rates, class sizes, teaching methods, and school organization and management. The crime rate in our schools are at an all-time high. Today, we not only have high school students taking guns and drugs to school, but our kindergarteners and first graders are being suspended for taking these things to school. Class sizes have gone up in the public schools. Our schools are overcrowded, but at the same time they are being built as fast as they can get built. A teachers pay is different in the two types of schools. Private school teachers make far less than those in public schools. The pay for teachers in the private school is based upon tuition and the amount of students attending the school.
There are not a lot of similarities between the public and private schools, except for your basics. The schools both have every child’s academic interest at hand. Teachers teach because they like it, not because it is going to make them rich. Most pour their hearts and souls into teaching every child they come in contact with throughout the years. As far as teaching material, both sectors teach the same reading, writing and arithmetic. Students in private schools take more advanced classes in math and science than those in public schools.
I could be an advocate...
