Some Contrast Between Public and Private Schools

some contrast between public and private school.
According to the Webster’s dictionary, private school is defined as a secondary or elementary school, conducted and supported by private individuals rather than government or public agency. On the other hand, public school is defined as an elementary or secondary school in the United States supported by public funds and providing free education for children of a community or district.
Some differences between private and public schools are discipline, funding, class size, administrative structure. In a private school, the rules and regulations are clearly laid out. Students should and must abide by the rules; and any breaking of the rules in terms of disrespect, bullying, and bad behavior by any student is dealt with by the school or the school administrative body solely. On the other hand, in public schools, the administrative body does not have such control. The disciplinary process in public school takes time, and frequently is a cumbersome and complicated process. It includes the school, parents, and the school district in which that particularly school is located. This process sometimes discourages some teachers to proceed with disciplinary actions of students.
Another difference between private and public school is funding and finances. In a private school, each individual school is fundended by the church, for example, in Catholic Church and other religious entities. Public school on the other hand, funding comes directly from the ‘state, county or district they are located. With this advantage, public schools are built big, with many classrooms, large stadiums, gyms, and big sports field, for hundreds of students. Most private schools are built on small acres of land, and they are limited to many amenities, because of their limited funding and finances. A third reason is class size, in a private schools, the class size might range from 12-16 students. This allows the teachers to teach effectively and give their students the individual attention they deserve. In public school, the class size can ranges from 18-26, making it difficult for teachers to teach effectively and give their students the individual attention they deserve. The effect of this situation is many teachers do not know the strengths and weaknesses of most of their students.
A fourth difference between the two types of schools is administrative structure. In private schools, there is no mandated curriculum which the teachers have to abide by, nor a particular style of teaching or specific text books to follow. Sometimes, individual teachers do recommend a particular text for their students, in order to follow their own style of teaching. In public schools, the rule is not so. These schools have to follow a mandated curriculum, teach from particular texts chosen by the school district, or board of education in the state that is representing the school. For example, they may decide to exclude religious studies, global warming, and science, and include fiction, magic, and sexual orientation as to not offend certain students, parents, and school officials.
Overall, the choice of private or public school by parents might be based on their choice system in educating of their children; as well as affordability. For teachers, the choice might be based on their income needs, as well as their valve system about teaching
