[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Bad teachers can happen to anyone, and unfortunately the public system in my area doesn't allow for options once you get that bad teacher.[/quote][/b]

Same thing happens in private. Plenty of bad teachers there as well. [/quote]

Absolutely true. Want to know a difference? If I get a bad teacher in a private school and the school won't address it, I can take my money and my child to another private or the public system. Enough "bad teacher" situations, and a private school has to make changes if they want to continue getting students.

If I get a bad teacher in a public school and the school won't address it, I am forced to go the private route and the school will continue to be funded and inflict that bad teacher on other children.[/quote]

Not true regarding public schools. There are a few teachers at our public school whose contracts were not renewed in the last toe years. It happens. [/quote]

It was true in my case. There may be a public school that will get rid of bad teachers, but I'll be unlikely to know that until my children get bad teachers in the private school and refuse to work with us to find a solution.

The odds aren't in the favor of the public school, however. My child's first teacher in public school was a complete disaster. Years in a private school, and at worst we've encountered teachers that were mediocre in some respects. I accept that we got a bad draw - friends have had decent experiences in public school. But the lack of ability to encourage remedy, and seeing that terror of a teacher continue to teach in the public school, really put me off public school.[/quote]
