[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, it is 50% less.
Worth it to me because we can live on my spouse's salary, and my paycheck goes to savings and extras, including tuition.

At our school, the parents are very invested in the success of the child and the success of the school.
There is a lot less arguing and there are no federal mandates.

There is less stress, the children are respectful because it is priortized.

I work at a faith-based school and feel like my mental/spiritual well-being is a priority. At public school, we made a lot of decisions to avoid being sued, like not using a child's actual name in an email. I found it made teachers and parents detached from one another.

In public school, I am also heard teachers refer to kids as "IEP"s, like, "I have 25 students and 2 are ESOL, 3 are IEPs".  My kid had an IEP and I didn't like children being referred to as a burden, but the mindset was stuck.  At private, we have kids with language needs and learning issues, but we say, "Jenny needs to sit up front" not "Put all your IEPs near the desk," which sounds cold but that was my take away, and not why I went into teaching.
