Public Schools vs. Private Schools A good education is an essential part of a child’s development. Today‚ parents have a choice in their child’s education and can evaluate both public and private schools. Although both public and private schools provide education and opportunities for students‚ parents should evaluate the differences and choose the option that best suits their child and families’ needs. In this paper‚ I will compare and contrast five major areas that relate to public and private

Public funds stay public‚ right? According to many parents in Douglas County would argue that public funds are for the benefit of taxpayers and therefore parents with students should be allowed to use public school vouchers for a private education for their children.

Prayer in public schools has always been a “hot” and controversial topic. It is very emotional‚ and that makes people passionate about this subject. Prayer should never be included in public schools; prayer in the classroom deviates from the Founding Father’s vision‚ excludes other religious activities/rituals and ostracizes individuals who do not participate in prayer in the classroom.
