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, [b]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.). [/b]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.

This is just the sort of BS that makes teachers want to leave publics--even very good, high performing ones.
