Some believe public schools are not effective in teaching students necessary skills. Part of this belief stems from the fact that public schools have larger classrooms than private schools. Therefore, less student to teacher communication is achieved. Some children are simply miserable and unable to learn in the large public schools we have created (Chenowith T08). However, studies have shown that it is private schools who have underqualified teachers and use outdated materials. On the other hand, more teacher to student interaction means a more in-depth understanding of material in many cases. Currently only about twelve percent of elementary and secondary school-age students are enrolled in private s

Most private schools encourage students to maintain high grades. Therefore, most students in private schools receive higher grades than comparable students in public schools. Students in private schools are also less likely to be absent, more likely to do homework, and are better behaved than those in public schools (Coleman 156).

Perhaps this is because private schools focus mostly on education while public schools focus mainly on shuffling kids through the system.

Furthermore, I feel my child will be safest at a private school. Many school shootings have taken place at high schools recently. Mostly, they have occurred at public schools. Crime rates are substantially lower in private schools.

Proper funding is also an issue that has raised many questions. Some believe that the government should provide for private schools because the parents of the children pay taxes just like everyone else. On the other hand, many believe that because parents pay for their children's schooling, those institutions of learning should not be financially supported by the government. This topic is being actively discussed within the government itself.

Religious preferences are also sometimes considered before school placement is decided. Because public schools do not allow prayer, some parents decide to send their children to private schools which are sometimes founded by Christians and even have study surrounding religious history. This fact plays a major role in the lives of some families. Often, this is the major reason children are sent to private schools.
