Private vs Public! We as parents have a hard time trying to figure out which is better for our children when it come to their education. The question that is asked is does my child need to go to a private school or public school. Being able to choose the best school for your child is very important, because it will help them out in the long run. In today's society, many parents believe that sending their children to private school is in the best interest of the child's education. On the other hand, I believe that it is best to send them to public school for several different reasons. Public schools, in so many different aspects, have more to offer to students than private schools. Public schools a more cost efficient, offer students opportunities to play sports, offer assistance to special needs children, more scholarship opportunities, public schools are more diverse, and you don't have to fight for a spot for enrollment. .
No one likes to spend money on things that they really don't need to spend money on. Having to choose between private and public school could possibly leave a parent in a financial bind. With that being said private schools charge tuition, in which overtime they could raise the cost. Whereas, if you enrolled your children into public schools, they are not allowed to charge tuition and they would be getting the same education or maybe even a better at a cheaper cost. Public schools offer assistance with school meals by providing free and reduced-price meals to all qualified low-income students. Where as Private schools have authorization, but are not required, to participate in the federal lunch and breakfast programs. Not only do you have to pay tuition at a private school, but when it comes time to graduate you have t pay for your cap and gown as well. On the other hand, attending a private school you would have to worry about paying for cap and gown and no tuition.
