[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids go to public school and they are really young now. I have always seen parents whose kids go to private schools passionately talk about private schools and how public schools are bad, but I have never known the exact reasons from them. We can't afford private schools, but I wanted to know what exactly are we missing by not sending kids to private schools. Are the academics different? Are there more extra-curricular activities that public school kids are missing? Does the difference become more evident with middle and high school age?

NOTE: This is not for getting anyone to fight. I just need some genuine facts. Thank you! [/quote]

First, private school could kick kids out if they behave badly, and public school has to educate anyone.   If your kid's class is fine, it's fine; but if your kid's class has one behaviorally challenged kid, the education get disrupted.  This is why public school is a crab shot.  We live in a middle to upper middle class school, and their class sometimes got chaotic.

Second, this doesn't apply to all private school, but some of them can teach ahead for overperforming kids.  Some public school has gifted program, in that case it's similar.

You can get extra-curricular  on your own.  So I don't think the difference is there. [/quote]
