    Public or Private Education: How to Choose the Best School for Your Children

    By Friends of Real MommaOctober 25, 20174 Comments3 Mins Read

    One of the most important decisions a parent ever makes is which school to send their children to. Before choosing a specific school, you have to make the broader choice between public and private school. There’s no one right answer when it comes to making this choice. It depends on many factors, such as the needs of your children, your budget, safety concerns and the quality of schools, both private and public, in your area.

    The Pros and Cons of Public Schools

    While public schools don’t have the best reputation nowadays, in many areas they are great. Some parents prefer public schools because they give their children a chance to make friends with other kids from diverse backgrounds. On the other hand, some public schools don’t have the resources to accommodate children who are especially gifted or who have special needs.

    If safety is a concern you should inquire about the school visitor management system they use.  Knowing that your child is safe and happy at their school is a top priority of many parents.

    Private Schools Offer More Choices

    When you consider private schools, you can look into schools that are more particularly suited to your child’s needs. There are religious schools, schools that prioritize discipline and ones that focus on certain academic specialties.

    Some schools offer instruction in foreign languages taught by native speakers. Private schools give you almost limitless choices. On the other hand, the ideal school for your child may not be convenient to where you live. You also have to find one that fits your budget.

    Consider Your Child's Needs

    When making this very important decision, you have to look closely at your own child and decide what he or she really needs. If your child is already in school, consider his or her strengths and weaknesses. If you aren’t sure, you may want to consult with an expert. The guidance counselor at your child’s current school or a child psychologist could evaluate your child and help you decide what type of education is best.

    Steps to Take Before Choosing a School

    There are a few steps you can take to help you choose the best school for your child. If possible, visit the school. Many schools have open houses for parents or will arrange a tour. Do some research and find as much objective information about the school as you can. Try to talk to parents of children who attend the school. Begin this process as early as possible. The further ahead you research the admissions process, the better your chances of getting your child into the school of your choice.

     

    Choosing the right school for your child is a difficult process. You have to consider your child’s needs while not overlooking practical concerns such as costs, safety, and location. Of course, if you find a school that looks ideal, you may decide to relocate. After factoring in all of the information, it's ultimately up to the parents to choose the school they feel will provide their kids with the best education.

      Where you are located can have a huge bearing on what are the best options. Of course, budget has an even bigger impact!
      Where we are located, the public schools are almost holding pens and there’s little education going on. When kids are telling each other not to use the bathrooms or they will be held up, you know you need to look for new options even if the cost is higher!
      Thanks for a great analysis of the subject.
