Public–private partnership

When I was ten years old I left public school and attended a private school. At the private school every hour of the day was scheduled and the students had no choice in classes and activities. For example, we had no option on what to do during recess; it was already picked for us. Field trips were limited to a teacher’s farm…

year that I chose my less traveled road. Enrolling in Chicago Hope Academy, a private Christian school, wasn’t always the plan. Instead, I had hopes of getting into Muchin College Prep., which is a public school in Chicago. Although attending Chicago Hope Academy was not my original plan, spending my last four years at a private school has made all the difference. This difference was a result of the structure of a private school education—enforcement of strict rules, dress code, and expectations…

I sure felt like it. It doesn’t have to mean my schooling was worse than those little kids, it just meant they had more freedom in their private school. With private schools being privately funded, with such a high tuition, one would think this means they have better teachers and administration. GreatSchools Staff said this is not always the case. Not all private schools hire teachers that are up to date on their certifications for the state. With other state guidelines that do not need to be…

also many aspects that come along with private schooling. Private schools offer up many great contributions to a student in which a public school would struggle to offer a student. Some of these contributions that help students include curriculum control, certification for teachers, and high standards for discipline and respect. These characteristics or contributions that private schooling offers helps set them apart from public schooling. To begin with private schools have a lot of freedom to…

Comparison to Private Schools. I. Introduction A. Private schools get talked about all the time just because the majority think private schools aren’t affordable. So, people automatically jump to side with public schools. The thing is private schools may charge but don’t face all the problems public schools have. For example, public schools are too big and don’t have time to help each and every student a teacher has. Public schools are just a big problem that almost no person realizes. B.…

In Li Zhang’s book In Search of Paradise: Middle-class Living in a Chinese Metropolis, she discusses the changes that have developed as a result of the newly developed middle-class in modern China. These new developments have changed the ways that Chinese citizens are thinking about privacy, consumption, advertising and how they are determining their self-worth. These changes have been influenced by reforms such as changes to people’s ability to own property and have allowed them to better…

school every morning- ones that I will not soon forget. From age four to age fourteen, my school day invariably began with these words. From my childhood years up to my early teenage years, I attended Holy Family School, a remarkably small, close-knit private school which seemed appropriate for the town of 4,000 people that it was situated in. The ten years I spent in that undersized school building meant a lot to me, after all, they shaped the way I interpreted the world and the people in it.…

public or private? Each type of school displays advantages and disadvantages that may benefit or inhibit a student’s educational development. The academics and extracurricular activities advance a student’s growth; however, the financial dependence and school demographics may hinder a student’s growth. Classrooms, desks, and teachers depict the physical aspects of a school; however, the foundation and financial assistance that define the essence of a school contrast public schools and private…

In Kandice Sumner’s Ted Talk, “How America’s Public Schools Keep Kids in Poverty”, she composes a well-constructed argument, concerning the issue of improperly and unequally distributed funding and resources to schools. Specifically, schools that are in low income and increased “colored” areas. Although I agree with her point of view that there should be a more structured and equally supplied school budget with necessary resources, I do not believe that the inequality is targeted to students of…
