[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You bet my kids are in private school. I wouldn't send my dog to public school. You and I pay taxes so your kids can be taught by the lovely person posting above me.[/quote]

You have a lot to learn about the quality of teachers in public and private schools.  Having taught in both in my career, I know that the quality of teachers is a lot higher in the PUBLIC schools.  Private school teachers are often burned out public school retirees or teacher wanna bes who couldn't land a job in the public schools.  Many of the latter lack basic certification.  Few private school teachers have the classroom management skills necessary to teach in the public schools, and few have a clue about differentiation, teaching special needs children, etc.

Naturally not all private school teachers are poor, and neither is every public school teacher good.  Overall, however, the quality of the teachers in the public schools is vastly superior to that found in private schools.  If you think otherwise you're deceiving yourself, trying to justify the $25K per year you're spending to send your DC to a private school.[/quote]
