[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yes! But most of it requires more money-

-Smaller class sizes 
-Reducing the responsibilities of teachers. Right now they have so much paperwork, documents, 504/IEP meetings. It’s too much. 
-Improving teacher-student relationships. Private schools have teacher mentors, family groups, picnics and events to create a “family like” environment.
-textbooks!!! Please for the love of god 
-required reading 
-more rigorous course work
-less pre-programmed curriculum. Greater flexibility and trust in teachers. 
-[b]higher quality teachers [/b]

Not really sure that’s the issue. Private school teachers aren’t certified and generally don’t have a solid training in pedagogy. Public schools also pay more than private.

The two worst teachers I’ve taught with in the past few years left public for private schools.  One was smart but lectured for an hour straight and didn’t even try to engage students.  The other said inappropriate comments to kids constantly.  [/quote]
