The amount of funding public schools receive per pupil varies by state and district. On average, public schools in the U.S. receive approximately $12,612 per student per year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This figure can be higher or lower depending on factors such as the location of the school and available funding sources.

Is creationism taught in public schools?
Yes. It is in Britian, but i don't know about America or anywhere else. == Not in the Dover Area School District in Pennsylvania it isn't. == If you meant Britain, no it's not taught in public schools. Evolution is. There are some private Christian schools in Britain that do teach the creationist view alongside evolution, but they are very much in the minority. == In the U.S., there is a Constitutional division between church and state. This prevents the teaching of creation ideas in public school because creation ideas are based in religion. This has set the stage for a public fight over the issue, the idea being that some Christians believe that creation ideas should get some "air time" in public schools. There are a number of other questions on WikiAnswers that deal with the issue. Answer Generally, creationism is not taught in public schools due to issues such as conflicts between different beliefs and religions.
What is charter school doing that's better than public schools?
I did research on this for my PhD and found that they aren't better than public schools. The test scores of the students stayed about the same and in some cases went down. I don't have the data on me right now, but if you want to post a message on here to me I can give you the actual figures and research sources. Although it may not be initially obvious, grouping all charter schools together and comparing them to a grouping of all public schools in the US cannot possibly yield a valid comparison. Even the term "charter school" does not have a consistent meaning across the USA. To do a valid comparison you must compare a specific charter school to the public schools that draw from the same population. Some charter schools perform significantly above the public schools the students would otherwise attend. Some charter schools amount to little more than a con game for the public education dollars and do a dismal job even compared to those public schools that are failing. The factors where charter schools MAY have an advantage over public schools are when there is more local control of the school, where parental involvement is higher (just to get a child into a charter school usually requires a lot more effort on the part of a parent than just sending them to a public school would so parents of charter school students tend to be more involved on average than parents of public school students), and it is easier to remove teachers who really aren't getting the job done. Where charter schools are not just dumping grounds for kids who have been kicked out of public schools (my daughter taught at a school like that in Ohio), the quality of the students tends to be a little better, not necessarily smarter or richer, but more committed. Discipline MAY be easier at a charter school if the laws where they operate allow it. Curriculum can be more tailored or flexible than in public schools where a school board may set the curriculum for many more schools without allowing flexibility at individual schools. Note that all the things mentioned are just things that a charter school MAY do better than public schools - many do NOT do things any better - as the first poster noted.
Public schools are better than homeschool?
That is just a matter of opinion, there are many benefits and disadvantages to each. In public school your child will not get much one on one help, they will probably be bullied at one time or another, there are a lot of people to distract them and there are more people to influence them. Home school is probably a little boring and there is not as much social interaction, you will be responsible for your child's education, how good is your education? I feel that home school is probably alright k-6 but as your child gets older they need the companionship of people their own age.AnswerThere are TOO many variables to make such a blanket statement. Public schools you have to look at quality of education, its "track record", and other factors just as you would a Parochial or private school. The same goes for home schooling. Are the parents or guardians capable of providing quality education? Are the children well disciplined and self motivated. There is "good" and "bad" in any type of schooling. AnswerHome school saves time, money, and resources. In public schools, you have to fill unnecessary forms, and in private schools, you will get babied by teachers with one on ones. Well, to me, public schools give children better education and the teachers can be nicer depending on the school. Private schools just waste gas and money because they do not really do any good to you.

How much money was it to go to school in Victorian times?
In Victorian times, the cost of education varied greatly depending on the type of school and the social status of the student. For example, children from wealthy families could attend private schools that cost significantly more than public schools. Additionally, many children from poor families did not attend school at all due to the cost, while charitable organizations and church schools provided free or low-cost education for some disadvantaged children.

Should schools allow phones?
NO !... They're a distraction, with far too much temptation to use them in lessons - instead of learning. If a parent needs to contact a pupil in an emergency, they only need to phone the school - and vice versa if the school needs to contact a parent. Additionally - it's far too easy to for a pupil to have their phone stolen. Mobile phones should be barred from schools.

How is the ESL program designed to fit into public schools?
ESL means English as a Second Language. Public schools need ESL programs. Public schools are seeing an increase in students who do not have an introduction to English upon arrival at the school. Their parents do not know English and do not speak English to them. The ESL program fits into public schools because when students get a foundation in the English language in the early grades, students are more likely to finish school, making the job of public schools much easier.
