is public school better than private school?
Favorite Answer
Private schools aren’t necessarily safer. The only ones that teach about God or the religious ones (typically Catholic altho there are all kinds of Christian ones). I went to private Christian schools from pre-school to second grad, and then a non-religious private school for 3rd to 4th. I went public from there on out. I had plenty of opportunities to learn about God in Sunday School at church. I didn’t have to do it during regular school.
If you don’t have a school nurse, it’s not that big a deal. I never thought they were that useful. Anything major and you’d have to go to a hospital anyways. Anything less and a coach or regular teacher could stick a bandaid on you just as well as a nurse could.
Not having a school counselor could suck. However, I’ve never had a school counselor who knew what they were doing. Even in college. All it did was force me to go out and figure out how to do stuff on my own. I learned about colleges by asking friends and family (now you’ve got the internet so it’s a lot easier). I learned how to apply to colleges by reading the instructions carefully.
My high school only had Spanish and French at first. No biggie. Later on, it added a whole bunch of different languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagolog, German, etc, but only because a local resident volunteered to be a teacher. I didn’t think it was a big deal that I couldn’t start in those new languages. Spanish is going to be the most useful in the US anyways. Maybe Chinese.
Learn about God at home and at church, while getting the best overall education you can wherever you happen to live. A good education is the stepping stone to a good life.
It sounds like your public school is poorly funded and/or small. If that’s the case, it could be that the parochial school in the area is a better choice for you, so long as the instruction is well-rounded rather than religion-centric.
There is no one school choice that’s best for everyone. I went to public school, I sent my son to private school for 3 years, now I homeschool him. There are pros and cons to each situation, and only you and your family can decide what’s right for your situation.
I would suggest making a list of what’s really important to you in a school, and in your education, and then compare your choices to see what fits you best. Contact colleges that you’re interested in and see what their requirements are (request a catalog), find out which schooling option is going to prepare you for your future.
