[quote=Anonymous]PPs are right that schools differ widely, but [i]in general[/i] - the classes are smaller, or there is a higher ratio of teachers to students; - arts, music, and foreign language happen earlier and more often, and sometimes with better resources; - school admin has more of a customer service orientation (yes, it varies) and are responsive to parent questions and concerns; - there is more focus on writing and public speaking. IME, the big difference between public and private school families is how much they value those things in a school. For example, not everybody thinks a very small class size is a good thing, or perhaps it's a fine thing but not that important. They may pursue music lessons on their own and not care whether it's offered in school. And so on. [/quote]
