Which is better, private school, public school or homeschooling? As John F. Kennedy said, "a child miseducated is a child lost". Each family wants to make their children well educated. One of the important steps on the way to high-level of education is the choice of school. Whether it is public or private, here are the good and bad of both. Also, some parents preferred to teach their children by themselves, which calls "homeschooling". Let us talk about all of these ways. Private schools, also known to many as independent schools, are fully supported by the payment of fees. There are a lot of distinguished leaders in politics, business and society, who finished a private school. These schools have a lot of advantages: individualised attention for the students due to smaller classes; better access to learning resources; a wide range of specialisations such as arts, athletics and science; more strict discipline and promotion of learning. One of the main drawbacks is a cost: few can afford this type of education. Also, private schools increase inequality and cultivate elitism. Public schools, as opposed to private schools, usually are far more affordable to attend, because these school are funded by local government. Public schools may also provide a lot of free activities for a students such as sports, arts and swimming pools. Another advantage is children learn how to be a part of a big and diverse social community. One the other hand, one of the main issues of government schools is overcrowding, thereby leading to a lack of discipline and individual attention for each student. Also, some public schools have a poor access to learning resources. Some parents also choose homeschooling for their children. One of the main benefits is parent can be satisfied that his child is learning in a proper way. It gives more educational freedom and flexibility. Also, homeschooling is safeguarding children from school bullying. On the other hand, it forces parents to be more responsible, because they have to plan school-time and activities and handle the administrative work of being a teacher. Also, homeschoolers have less communication with peers, which can make a negative impact to their socialisation. As stated above, each of these variants has negative and positive sides. First of all, family's choice should be based on individual characteristics of the child and family. As for me, private schools have more advantages then public schools or homeschooling, but I agree that there are many types and many various wonderful schools.

Which is better, private school, public school or homeschooling?

As John F. Kennedy said, "a child miseducated is a child lost". Every family wants to help their child be well educated. One of the important steps on the way to having a high-level education is the choice of school. Whether it be public or private, here I will discuss the good and bad aspects of both.  Also, some parents prefer to teach their children by themselves, which is called "homeschooling". Let us talk about all of these options.

Private schools, also known to many as independent schools, are fully supported by the payment of fees. There are a lot of distinguished leaders in politics, business and society, who finished at a private school. These schools have a lot of advantages: more individualized attention for the students due to smaller classes; better access to learning resources; a wide range of specializations such as arts, athletics and science; more strict discipline and promotion of learning. One of the main drawbacks of these schools is a cost: few can afford this type of education. Also, private schools increase inequality and cultivate elitism.

Public schools, as opposed to private schools, usually are far more affordable to attend because these school are funded by local government. Public schools may also provide a lot of free activities for a students such as sports, arts and swimming pools. Another advantage is that children learn how to be a part of a big and diverse social community. One the other hand, one of the main issues with government schools is overcrowding, thereby leading to a lack of discipline and individual attention for each student. Also, some public schools have a poor access to learning resources.

Some parents also choose homeschooling for their children. One of the main benefits is that parents can be satisfied that their child is learning in a proper way. It gives more educational freedom and flexibility. Also, homeschooling can safeguarding children from school bullying. On the other hand, it forces parents to be more responsible, because they have to plan school-time and activities and handle the administrative work of being a teacher. Also, homeschoolers have less communication with their peers, which can have a negative impact to their ability to socialize.

As stated above, each of these variants has negative and positive sides. First of all, a family's choice should be based on the individual characteristics of the child and the family. In my opinion, private schools have more advantages than public schools or homeschooling, but I agree that there are many different types and varieties of wonderful schools.

I started when I was 6 years old with home schooling whom my parents are my teachers just to teach the basic one, the right attitude and good values that must be acquired. Parents are just focuses on the ethics on how we react or associate to the society. And during my elementary years until high school, I entered in the public school where there are some learners in every section, books are lacking, busy teachers who are not focused on the subject matter. I have learned through own exploration or self study. Now, I entered as a private school and I can see there are lots of differences. Private school has a good quality of education because they are prepared and really intended to teach. But as what Ive experienced, teaching as a Filipino teacher its not only the good quality has of the school, in concern with this its about the interest of the students and how she/he react on it. Students today is different unlike before. To have quality education, its about yourself. Interest and open your mind into it guided by the teacher is the best one.
