No one is making "war on teachers", so you can kindly dispense with that strawman

[Xavier_Onassis]

When anyone opposes to remove the right of any American teacher to unionize, they are anti teacher. The phony Christian clearly is in a war on teachers.

To your suggestion, I say "make me,twit".

Then its a war on Unions, NOT on teachers.  Nice try though

Actually bt thats what I'm trying to say but phrased it wrong.

I want to know is the top private schools k to 12 worth it? They cost up to 30k ayear.

I tried to find data comparing public schools to private and found none .only complaints about public schools. This really undermins the rep of these high performing public schools

Oops forgot mention  i meant magnet schools vs private schools

I ask because these schools tend to have a high percentage of chinese students and want to know if by american standards are these students educated.


So far it seems public school education is not educated.

I think private education on the whole is better than public schools for many reasons.

1.  Parents are involved more in their childrens education.
2.  Discipline is better at private schools
3.  Staff is maintained based on results.

Not all private schools cost up to 30 k a year . Check around.

In private schools, the schools can throw the misbehaving kid out. A parent who is sacrificing to pay tuition is not going to want to have his child misbehave or underperform. Parents who pay extra tend to care more about their children's education than parents who don't. I sent my daughter to a Cuban-run school so she would learn Spanish, and later to a Lutheran school up to the 9th grade. I am pretty sure she got a better education, but she still needed a lot of help in math, since until she got to HS, none of her teachers seemed to know how to teach it. I had to read the book and explain to her what the teacher didn't.

Yes Thus my reasoning that private schools provide a better education than public schools.

I understand. The same happened with me. But it wasn't the teachers fault. The mental block was on me, and once that block dealing with abstracts was knocked down and i had a good foundation to build upon the math problems disappeared.
