[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advocate for public school! Public! Public! Public schools have the capacity to serve your students should they have learned disabilities, need strategies and boundaries, and are building skills and habits. Private schools hire individuals who do not have certification, or a teachers license. How can a school hire people who don’t have the fundamental understanding of what it means to be an educator, therefore, they are not truly educators, they are people who feel that they are versed in their contents area. They do not care about your students, learning habits, in terms of meeting deadlines, being honest, and figuring out ways to improve when they are struggling. Public, Public, Public! You’re doing your child a great disservice by having them attend private schools, especially if you don’t want them to be a bigot, entitled, cheaters, or drug addicts.

Because this is exactly what the big three produce. [/quote]

I have worked with wonderful AND dreadful teachers in a public school. I have worked with wonderful AND dreadful teachers in a private school. I have worked with uncertified teachers in both settings. Interestingly, there were more teachers working toward certification at my former public school than at my current private. (Yes, many private schools require state certification.)

The only difference I’ve noticed between the two settings is that the private school fires the poor teachers. The public school, due to contracts and tenure, had a harder time doing that.

Don’t fall for any nonsense about teacher quality being better at one than the other. There are great teachers in both settings. There are terrible teachers in both settings. [/quote]
