In the article Charter School’s Segregation Roots, Christopher Bonastia argues that charter schools have become highly segregated. It is critical that charter schools have a diversity of children. Cultural diversity is important especially among young children it helps them to develop skills to function in multicultural environment and teaches them how to get along with each other at a young age. While, they are many positive and negative outcomes of charter school it is of importance that we are not using charter schools as an excuse for the cause of segregation. Additionally, charter schools should be striving for racial diversity among its teachers.
By giving parents the ability to use their children’s share of public Education funding to choose the right school for their children has also improved the schools performance in response to competition created by parents’ ability to choose alternative schools for their children. Adequacy
In some nations, school students are expected to reach strict government targets and teachers of schools do not possess time to explain some concepts to some children, who are not in a position to understand the concepts when teaching for the first time. Therefore, parents of these children are forced to opt for private tuitions and particularly for subjects like chemistry, physics, mathematics and English many children are looking for some sort of additional coaching and parents are not in a position to offer the right kind of coaching they require and so they are opting for private tuition
Charter schools are a different type of school that is helpful to some students but not all. What a charter school is, they are privately managed, taxpayer funded schools which are made up from the community. However charter schools are not like private schools they are in fact outlined after public schools. Charter schools are for students who want to achieve a high level education. The schools are open to all children, they don’t charge tuition and there are no special requirements for them to attend.
In discussing educational businesses and the role the federal, state, and local governments perform in school funding. The purpose of the public school system is to educate children. Its product is well read citizens who are equipped to take their place in society. When corporations try to make a profit off the functioning of schools and/or educate children to meet the needs of a corporate agenda, then the school no longer works for the public. The Charter School Expansion Act and No Child Left Behind allows for corporations to receive government funding.
problem lies in the fact that most public schools have fixed costs from heating costs to teaching staff that cannot easily be adjusted or downscaled when a few students leave in a given year. The result equates to “squeezed funding at traditional public schools” (Daniel Simmons Ritchie). School choice is not necessary.
For example, a company may pay less money for an uneducated teacher rather than lose profit and spend more on a higher quality teacher. Most teachers in the public school system teach because teaching is their passion therefore, they want to teach, whereas in a private system the teacher may be there just for the money. Less government regulation in private schools can potentially make it harder for the government to enforce standardized testing and regulations such as requiring a certain number of school days and requirements to teach. Not having politicians involved also silences voices when it comes to the school system and allows for large companies to make large
Basing school funding on property tax leads to unequal opportunities and environments for students, even though the government may claim it is not up to them, there needs to be a drastic change. Currently, taxes collected from the surrounding communities fund public school districts. Public schools get financed mainly by the property tax of the surrounding houses. “Resources available to school districts relied heavily on local property wealth, and property wealth per pupil varied greatly, as it continues today”
According to the experience of my parents and older relatives, they had a clear distinction between the word public and private universities. They always studied in the public universities since these universities were affordable and they were supposed to be funded by the government. If we compare the concept of public and private universities of both the era we can find a huge difference between these two concepts now. Now a days public universities are charging same as the private universities. Education is not even affordable by most of the citizens of America since their yearly income is nearly equal to a semester fee of a university.
Despite the contrasting environment, private school students are no different than public school students. In an online manifesto, If You Send Your Kid to Private school you are bad, Allison Benedikt, an executive editor states, “But many others go private for religious reasons, or because their kids have behavioral or learning issues, or simply because the public school in their district is not so hot”. This proves that private schools are not filled with angels, but rather kids who have behavioral issues and need that extra help. In senior writer and editor John S Kiernan’s, online article, Private Schools vs. Public Schools - Experts Weigh In, Patrick J. Wolf, Ph.D, proclaims, “Private schools also are becoming more diverse, as their enrollments increasingly include minority and low-income students”. Similar to a public school, private schooling have their low, medium and upper class students.
Public school funding Increasing school funding is very important in today’s future American students. Education should be one of the top priorities in the United States to make sure every student has the same opportunity to get the same great education. Increasing public school funding be beneficial for outdated textbooks, lack of technology, and increases more resources for students. These resources would be crucial of generating students of America. These students are the workers, leaders, and inspirations of future America.
Public school: The right choice to make A person’s childhood is very important especially when making decisions, interacting with others or any other normal everyday activity. These essentials are left out by parents when putting their kids in homeschool. Public school provides many more benefits for a student. Public school is more beneficial for a student than homeschool for the following reasons: social skills, cost, and opportunities.
Co-ed schools versus single-sex schools: which will provide a better learning experience for students? The debate over whether or not the genders should be separated in the classroom still stands today. In a society where both men and women have to work together harmoniously, a co-ed education initially seems to be the more viable option since it prepares students for real-world experiences. Although every student has different learning styles, a student would, however, ultimately benefit from the tailored curriculum and comfort of a single-sex educational environment. Students will have a more relaxed learning experience without distractions from the opposite gender.
As I have heard from a friend here in America, US public schools are no less than quality but excel in private
Several studies have been done to identify problems that affects student’s academic performance. The students’ academic performance depends on a number of socio-economic factors like students’ presence of trained teacher in school, teacher-student ratio, attendance in the class, sex of the student, family income, mother’s and father’s education, , and distance of schools (Amitava Raychaudhuri,
