School have the biggest impact on kids now days. They spend close to 8 hours just in mandatory schooling at there public or private school. That doesn’t add the time they spend with extra curricular activities they do, if that be sports or scholastic after school activities.

Parents usually debate about whether they should send their kids to a public school or private school. I’ve categorized school what you gain from school choice on four different categories, academic, athletics, social experiences. every school has their outliner schools, whether that be bad of good, but in this paper we will be talking about …show more content…

When it comes to a public school you get a little bit of the politics but public schools will have multiple teams (except varsity) compare to the private school that has more of a strict budget will have one team and cut down to the number they need. As I watched teams from the different schools I tend to notice that public schools are the place for the underdog to rise while a private school is being were the first recruits …show more content…
As I grew up in both public and private schools I have kind of split the social aspect of them into blue collar and white collar. The reason I say this is that in a private school I noticed that majority of the parents were managers at corporations, doctors, lawyers and such. For and example I was playing in a basketball game and my eye got cut and before I new it there were 5 parent doctors on my team looking at it deciding if they should do this or that.
