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?
It all depends on what type of a person you are. Not having been to a private school, I can't speak for them, but I know they have a schedule similar to a public school (where you go 5 days a week & have homework), and that high grades are often pushed. I currently attend a charter college prep school, but I assume you are referring to homeschooling charter school instead of the type I'm at. I was homeschooled almost all my life, it was great for me and I loved it. It allowed me to sleep in and get as much homework (or sometimes as little...) homework done as I wanted to. Charter programs work great for people who are self-motivated.
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 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.
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.
