private christian school or public school for your children

Actually my two sons go to a public school and they have been doing great. But I think it depends on the area you live in. Their school does not have that kind of a ratio. Their biggest class size so far has been 16 kids and that was just one year.

Hi It depends on the public school. Not all public schools are bad and not every private school is good. With my husband's job we move every three or four years so I have had ample opportunity to check out different school systems. We have had friends who would not put their children in public school and either home schooled or sent them to private christian school.I have had family members do the same. Some got a great education in the private school while some family members got messed over. We kept ours in public school and all of our girls got excellent grades and we were fortunate that many of the teachers in the schools they attended were Christians. Check out your school of choice and make sure it is accredited. That is what happened to my brother's family. They choose a Christian school that was not accredited and only earned certificates of attendance upon finishing school. They had to get a GED certificate to get any type of proper job or even join the military. They eventually allowed their last two sons to go to public school which was the best thing that could have happened to them. Don't lump all public schools together or all private schools either. Just make sure you check out the school you choose and are comfortable with the type of education your child is getting. By the way I'm a pastors wife so I don't have a beef against educating your child in non public school ways. I just don't like it when people say every public school is bad and you can't get an education there.

i was so lucky to have went to both. ok... if you're interested in the grades, a private is best... they take care of you... well, since you're paying for it. and especially if it's co-ed, you'll have some fun. now, a public school... well, if it's in a good area it can be cool. what does suck is if it's not, and that could really suck big time. but do what any curious person would... go see both kinds of schools before you make up your mind... i mean c'mon. it's not that difficult. it's one day.

My children will go to public school. My husband wouldn't have it any other way. he wants them to go to the school that he graduated from.

My son will be taught at public school. we are not a Christian family so it would be hypocritical for us to send our son to a Christian school. I like the level of education at a private school, if I could find one that is not a religion influenced private school I would probably send him there instead of public.

Since we're a Christian family, I prefer private school if ever we have a money. My daughter is turning 2 next year and I like her to be enrolled in a private school. I have nothing against public school since I've graduated on a public schools during my elementary and secondary days. I just believed that private schools teaches our kids more advance than public schools do. And there are too many kids enrolled on a public school so if ever we have a money to pay private schools, why not?!

I am not a christian anymore. My husband is and he takes the kids to sunday school only. To put my kids in a Christian based school for me just would not work. I like the public school they are in. My kids are doing great and I dont want to interupt there learning habbits they have already started.

Mine are in a good public school. As long as it's a good school I don't mind. Otherwise, I would choose private.

Our private school is our homeschool. We have done so for 15 yrs and it is a great way to teach your children. I stayed home for the first 12 years and now work part time. It works out really well. Class size is important. Dedicated teachers are too!
