[quote=Anonymous]I taught at both private and public, before I went back to school to go into a different field.  As others have said, it was a warmer, more supportive, family-like community in the private school.  I was only a couple years out of college, living several hundred miles away from where I grew up, and my colleagues were like family to me.  I left teaching six years ago and I am still in touch with many of them.

In terms of instruction, the private school was fantastic in that I had so much more autonomy and the opportunity to be so much more creative than in the public school.  There was still oversight, of course, but no one was checking up on me emphasizing stupid details like they did in public school (did my lesson plans follow the right format, did I write the "objective" on the board and have the students read it, did I have appropriate rubrics for each assignment, did I change my bulletin boards frequently enough, etc., etc., etc.).  If I had a new idea of how to do something, of course I ran it by my team to make sure it was ok, but I was allowed to be very creative and the administration was very flexible.  I loved my private school and some days I really wish I hadn't left.
