I've often heard people say that one advantage of private school is that administrators are more responsive to "paying customers." But given the competition to get into these schools, it seems that the schools are more likely to be in the driver's seat. If you're not happy with the school, can't they just show you the door and tap someone else to fill your slot?
If your children are currently in private school, do you feel that the school really is responsive to your concerns? How do they deal with complaints or suggestions? What if you're not happy with a teacher or with the way a subject is being taught? Thanks for any feedback. |
I had my son in private school and then moved him to public. I loved the teacher we had in the private school, but not the administration. However, I found that public school has more resources and is more responsive to concerns I raise and requests for assistance with working with my kids at home. If you're not happy with how a subject is being taught, I don't think there is much you can do in the short terms regardless of whether you choose private or public - the cirriculum is what it is and changes require oversight and approval. As to not liking a teacher, I never experienced this so I don't know how it would be handled in either place. FWIW, I live in Montgomery County. |
