[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private: children were taught civics, class size smaller, more recess and exercise, most teachers good, expensive. Public: children not taught basic civics and run around indoors, class size of 26-30 kids, not enough gym/recess, teachers ok, cheap.[/quote] Public: More exposure to different kids on the way up, teachers must be educated, required statewide testing to see how your kid is retaining certain information, more access to specialists to work with your kid OR other kids who may need it: reading specialist, behavioral specialist, many counselors, etc. Private: more field trips, often a closer knit community however you're seeing the same kids year after year after year, very often the education is not better, esp. in elementary grades, smaller class sizes, often foreign languages or other extras being taught, homework is often harder, longer and actually graded/counts towards the grade[/quote]
