Romano. "Competition between private and public schools, vouchers, and peer-group effects.” American Economic Review (1998): 33-62.‏There is a big difference between private and public schools when it comes to teachers, private schools provide teachers who carry out their work effectively and faithfully which, in turn, is a sign of love and desire to grant students the highest quality of education. On the other hand, public schools usually provide teachers with either low teaching ability or inexperience in handling and dealing with students. Private schools students have an advantage over public school students as they graduate at an early age with higher education and skills from having an intensive curriculum in a short amount of time compared to the public school’s longer relaxed curriculum. Private schools utilize the latest technology when teaching when compared to public schools. They can do so because they are more liberated financially than public schools, which have limited budgets provided by the Ministry of Education. A marked variation occurs when comparing between public schools and its private counterpart. This variation is applied on the private schools themselves, as they focus on the creative aspects, scientific research, imagination and self-reliance, personal and refine leadership and love for the school and the community as a whole. Public schools rely heavily on a conservative policy, focusing only on education, as they neglect developing the student as a person as do their private counterparts, at the same time private school teachers are more developed because they have the ability on using all the new teaching technologies.

First private universities tend to have smaller class sizes and thus smaller population centers compared to that of public. Public universities can have class sizes easily of up to 200 or more in amphitheater style rooms. This creates a security problem as larger populations condensed into a single room could make an easy target for individuals with mal intent. Private institutions tend to have more geographically diverse student populations because of cost differentiations between in state and out of state tuitions involved with public schools. In many cases the cost of out-of-state tuition can be twice that of instate tuition whereas private universities tend to focus on a general cost to attract more

Introduction With a recent increase in presidential power and a new presidential cabinet, concerns have began to arise regarding state rights and independence. One of these concerns is school choice in the form of school vouchers. The use of school vouchers has been a state decision, and Texas has always been a school voucher free state. Not only the national government favors private-school voucher legislation (with Betsy DeVos as the new United States Secretary of Education); so does Texas. Texas’ Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick, urges the private-school voucher bill (SB 3) to pass the Texas House (as it has already passed the Senate).

There are public schools all over the world and those in public schools are not getting the proper education that they need. It seems public schools only provide the public with the bare minimum. This bare minimum can become very discouraging to parents, students and the entire public community in which the school is. Most Supreme Court rulings agree that school districts across the nation, and across the world, really only need to provide the bare minimum legally. This present an issue, if the professionals are only supposed to give the bare minimum then they themselves will be given the bare minimum.

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”.

Currently, it is estimated that over one million families school their children at home. Most of these families include a breadwinner and a stay-at-home parent who does most of the teaching, although there are single parent families and dual career families who home school.” according to Teach Target. Personally, I believe that homeschooling isn’t the best option for kids; they rather go to school to help them with their social life, their level of understanding and to help them get inspired by the surroundings. There are a lot of reasons why parents should stop homeschooling their children and send them to public or private schools.

Malcolm X once said “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepared for it today.” In the western world education plays a vital role in shaping our future; it determines if we will survive or fail in the world we created for ourselves.
