I don’t think a school’s quality should be judged on whether it is public or private. If you’re fine in the public schools, stay there. If you feel have to spend $50000 a year on a private school, then do it.

I live in a place that has the opposite problem of what most people here have. The public schools here provide better educations than the private school. Even though I live in a high crime rate city, there are many private school kids transferring into the public schools because the private schools simply don’t provide good educations. I know a girl who goes to a private school and she takes three classes: bowling, creative writing, and US History (college is going to be a shock for her, I can’t believe the school could be so lax about their students workload).

Sadly, some parents here still think that private is always better than public. Even when their kids are taking three classes a day and the kids in the public schools are taking a full load of advanced classes, they still don’t realize that their kids aren’t getting a good education.
