[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go private but you'll likely experience the same thing. Simply put, some teachers are great, most are good and some suck. They are overworked and certainly under paid yet most work their butts off.. For those that don't, stay on them to do better, report them in serious cases, and switch classes if you don't see improvement. 
I've worked at a private school and public. There are bad apples in any bunch.

My son is in private. Teachers are great. No tenure means you can get rid of the bad apples. See Chicago strike for example[/quote]

Yes, every single private school teacher is brilliant and every public school teacher sucks.

So silly and small minded it's not worth discussing.[/quote]

What you're saying is indeed extreme and not worth discussing.

I'm sure what you meant to say is that there are some great public school teachers and private school teachers. There are bad public school teachers as well, who, due to unions and tenure, take an extraordinary amount of time to fire, average time being 3-5 years. There are bad private school teachers, who's contracts are simply not renewed the following year. See the difference?

not really.  DC had a bad private school teacher who has been there several years and has not been fired.  Others have told us they left due to this teacher, as did we.[/quote]

I guess this private school will get the message when they lose students, and thus lose money. That's how the real world works.

What options do public school kids have if their parents can't afford private? Move to another public. And when the same thing happens there? How many bad teachers do you think public schools have vs. private due to tenure issues?

If you feel the publics are so good, why is your child in private?[/quote]

You said the bad private school teachers don't get their contracts renewed, which is just false.
We are not in private now. DC is AAP and have been very satisfied with the teachers, the quality of instruction and DC's peer group.[/quote]

Which do you think has a higher quantity of bad teachers being kept on, public or private. When you have to cherry-pick, you've already lost. You know the answer.[/quote]
