[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public all the way.  I have had kids in both. A large percentage of private school teachers are not certified, they do not have a background in teaching, and they make WAY less than public school teachers.  In addition, there is no job security. There is no consistency in what is being taught, few professional development opportunities, and basically, there is no curriculum. Teachers can teach whatever they want and however, they want. Smaller class, I get that.  But if you have a class of 10 and a terrible teacher, you are getting nothing.  There are many advantages to public schools.  Do not let a price tag fool you into thinking you are getting more- you're not.  Oh, and if you can pay full tuition, private schools will take you and promise you the world and then not be able to deliver. I've been on both sides- very prestigious private schools and public schools.  Furthermore, there are many more courses offered in public schools including IB and AP.  These are not the private schools of years ago.  Much has changed in education. Lastly, I have been in college admissions at some very elite schools.  Admissions officers love public school students- sorry, but that's the truth![/quote]

Not in my experience.  You WERE in college admissions.  Things have changed honey.  They are very aware of the shit show in public schools.[/quote]
