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.

Do public schools have more opportunities than private school?

Person who asked question: Ive been going to a private school my whole life, and its okay i guess but i kind of wish i went to public school because the girls are really mean in my school so can any of you answer if public school is any better because sooner or later im going to leave my school and go to public school so can any of you give me advice and stuff? Thanks :) Private school gives off better education and chances for going to a good high school/college. How about you give private school one more chance and if things get worse, go to public school.


What is the difference between a public school and a private school?

In a private school you get better education than you would in public school. But depending on what county you live in some public schools are just as good. Private schools provide more: 1. Academic challenging 2. Individual attention 3. Safety 4. Push students for college 5. Discipline -private schools are mostly for kids that usually have a hard time in public school & aren't hanging in the right society of friends and are very bright but don't know how to express it in a public school . They are way cleaner than public schools I've heard. But, in public elementary school, it is almost all free except for field trips or lunch


Are Catholic schools more difficult than public schools that have a harder curriculum and are well funded?

I attended Catholic schools for 12 years, and later taught public school, so I have a "both sides" viewpoint on this question. Catholic schools are more difficult than public schools largely because the expectations for the students are higher than they are in most public schools. On a grade-for-grade basis, the curriculum in Catholic schools is also more demanding, or perhaps more accurately, "farther along" for a given grade level. In both grade school and high school I had friends who left and went to public school, and later told me they were anywhere from a half a year to a full year ahead of the other kids in their grade in the public school. There are many variables, of course - some Catholic schools are better than others, and the best public schools I taught in were the equal of any Catholic school - those were public schools where the school and the parents had very high expectations for the students.


What are the chances that you will get a better education in private schools than public?

It totaly depends on each school and your personal opinion. There are good and bad things about each. For instance, a private school has more one on one attention but less socialization with other children.

How are charter schools different from public schools?

A magnet school receives more funds than traditional public schools. They do not hire teachers on their own, and they are fully governed by the school system. A charter school is created by a group of individuals and it does not have to follow all the laws of the school system. There are regulations; however, to which it must adhere. Charter schools may hire on their own. In charter schools, parents usually must volunteer a certain number of hours throughout the school year.

What exactly are charter schools for?

What is the difference between public school and a charter school?

Charter schools are public schools. Traditional public schools cover standard curriculum and educational practices. Charter schools typically specialize in one form of instructional theory, curriculum, or other educational practice. Charter school attendance is limited to size (where public school attendance is not so much so limited), so once that limit is reached, some students may be added to a waiting list. Some people have the impression that charter schools are private schools. Not so. The "charter" in the name refers to the private or public institution that sponsors the school. In most states, it is necessary for that sponsorship to be "chartered" through an approved state university.

WHAT does charter mean in charter schools?

Charter schools are independent PUBLIC schools. They are TUITION-FREE and open to all students. In Minnesota, the home of the charter school movement, charter schools must be approved to operate by the state department of education and are part of the state system of public education. Each charter school is legally like a small public school district. Charter schools are FOR PROFIT and are governed by a board of directors elected from among teachers, parents and interested community members. They are not privately "owned" and do generate a profit for investors more than any other public school district. Some charter school boards hire for-profit companies to perform management functions just as they hire for-profit companies to provide other operational services. Teachers in Minnesota charter schools must meet the same licensing requirements as all other public school teachers, although the value of this is dubious, and this is not a requirement in all states. As with all public schools, charter schools are primarily funded with public monies (tax dollars), however, almost uniformly across the country they receive less money per student (sometimes significantly less) than district schools. Charter schools are allowed some freedoms that district schools are not, and in return they are held to a higher standard of academic and financial accountability. Unlike district schools, under-performing or financially insolvent charter schools can be dissolved almost immediately. Charter schools offer programs, curricula, pedagogies, schedules and services that traditional district schools choose not to provide. Their only goal is to improve the academic performance of their students, along with generating profit for their investors.


Why do parents pull their children out of charter schools and put them back into public schools?

== == Parents who care about the education of their child will look for the ideal situation for their child. Sometimes a child has issues on either end of the spectrum (behavior or intelligence) which cause them difficulty in a public school setting. Public schools, especially larger districts, are not always ideal. A charter school can offer a better option - without having to pay private school tuition. However, and this is from personal experience, sometimes the charter school - for whatever reason - is not able to deliver the programs and services - such as individual attention and gifted programs - it advertises (and they do advertise, because they are a business - a business using public funds). We took our child out of a charter school after 1/2 of 4th grade because it was not the environment promoted by the school when we enrolled. But, we did not put our child back in public school. We thought about it. Then we thought about our reasons for leaving the public school system and we decided to put him in private school for the rest of the year. We will decide about public school when and if we need to. He is happier in the private school than he was in public or charter - that's the most important part of the equation. What works for the child? Sometimes charter schools can be the answer. You don't know unless you try.
