I have attended private school my whole life, so I speak...
Private school is better/safer than public school
Public schools do have more diversity, but that is purely chance. Anyone who can pay is welcome at a private school. And, yes, you do have to pay for private school. It is not just to be exclusive, though. Private schools don't get government funding, so they have to find a way to pay the teachers. This is why the teachers at private school are payed less. If they wanted to raise the pay of a private teacher, they would have to raise tuition. It is all in a perfect balance, and in no way meant to exclude people. I have attended private school my whole life, so I speak from experience and facts, not just what I have heard. Tests do indicate that it is much more likely for a public school student to be bullied that a private school student. It is proven that public schools have more problems with physical conflicts, verbal abuse of teachers, student disrespect for teachers, and parental lack of involvement. From experience, I can tell you also that it is true. Comparing my private school friends and my public school friends, I can see a substantial difference in behavior. My public school friends tend to either gossip more, or be bullied more. This is never a real problen with my private school friends. As far as education goes, it is hard to tell who gets a better one. Based off a single student, you will get varried answers. Hovever, the average test scores for a private school are generally higher than those of a public school. Is is because of teachers and environment. Private school teaching careers are hard to come by, so only a teacher who loves their job will search for a private school career. Naturally, those who love their job will be better at is. So, you can conclude that a private school gives you a better edcation.
