[quote=Anonymous]I have kids in both private and public.  The differences that make private better for us is:

Teacher/student ratio.  My child is in 9th grade and the most she has in a class is 18.  The lowest is 13.   My public school child in elementary has 27 kids in her class.

Positive Diversity.  In private, you see that every culture and race is performing at a high level.  The kids all hang out together.  Our school has 37% minorities and that does not count non-minorities from other countries.

Community.  The family picked the school.  They put time and effort into it.  My youngest public school had 14 people show up for the first PTA meeting.  Out of 565 kids and some teachers were begging for room parents into October.  Only a handful of parents at the OpenHouse.

Teachers.  The ones at private school have freedom to teach, not follow a robotic curriculum.  I have seen teachers take their class outside to read books in the grass because it was a nice day. Play Math games with four square and basketball.  Just more outside the box teaching.  They are fun and not burnout.  We get to see tests.  Kids MUST complete all wrong answers and turn back in.

Length of day.  The private school day is longer and they incorporate more into in.  More specials, more recess, more science, etc..
