Is this fair and are such schools really so much better in terms of how much they can successfully educate their students? I think considering their smaller classes, higher standards and larger budgets, they probably do serve the students better than a regular school can. But it's not fair. Not in my opinion. One class of people receiving greater benefits because they happen to have more of something. In this case money. Education is a privilege that everyone should be entitled to and the standards should be the same everywhere. Obviously this is difficult to achieve. If you ban private schools then you are forcing students to have a lower standard of education. This isn't fair either. So you have to somehow raise the standards in regular schools so that the education at least is on the same level as private schools. I don't believe that raising the bar should always mean you need more funding. I think that teaching standards can better without doing this. Education shouldn't just take place in schools of course. Parents ideally need to be proactive and involved with their children's learning. I've heard several times today about statistics which claim that some children aren't even toilet trained by the time they start school at aged five. Of course this isn't always possible or realistic with single or working parents. But I think it's a good way to close the gap. If we can raise the standards of normal schools enough even if it's just with the quality of teaching, then private schools will quickly become worthless.

Parents ideally need to be proactive and involved with their children's learning. Interesting point; How do you propose that education could be better without funding? Another question might be where does this extra funding go in private schools / how is it used to better education? Could there be a bonus paid to the teachers based on students test/exam results? Might promote teachers giving a damn if that may be a problem in public schools? I think the problem may be that education is not seen as much of a necessity to find a career as what it was a few decades ago. Students had to research through textbooks, talk with people in that job section and test + trial themselves. Now it's just known as 'Google it'.

I think if I suddenly acquired the money later on in life, the social "damage" I'd deem a child to receive in private education would outweigh the benefit. But, had I been to private school and grown up wealthy, I'd think the same of the opposite scenario, I bet. One of my jobs deals a lot with the public. I have to explain instruction in more depth to those of wealthier backgrounds, presumably because they lead less socially varied lives and are less familiar with varied human communication. They often behave like foreigners who don't speak the same language. It's really bizarre, and you guys are going to think I'm crazy, but seriously. How can I tell they're wealthy? Well, private schools have different holiday dates. Private schools are already off for Easter.

Higher education should be there for gifted people not rich folk, money is in no way linked to intelligence just because your father was a famous scientist doesn't mean you'll be smart too. Everyone should go to the same level and if it becomes apparent that they're above that they should get to move on to a higher degree of education. There would be a lot less people in it then and a lot less of the schools needed so they should be covered in budget by taxes. It must be pretty bad for a large number of the kids who happen to not actually be smart trying to force everything in their brains to meet their parents standards.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragon Ball, Fullmetal Alchemist, Assassination Classroom, Deadman Wonderland	To be entirely honest, there's plenty of public schools in the US where their students generally out-perform the students in private schools in the same state. Private education is simply a way for the "too good for public school" families to privatize their child's education, even if there's no evidence for it being any better than a public school. Steve Higher education should be there for gifted people not rich folk, money is in no way linked to intelligence just because your father was a famous scientist doesn't mean you'll be smart too. I agree with this 100%. This is why I never thought it made sense why most fertility clinics only take sperm donations from men who have gone to college, or even have bachelor's degrees in college. Just because you were able and willing to go to college in NO WAY gives evidence to the possibility of your potential offspring going to college. I think the only things that should matter are probabilities for genetic diseases. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Apr 4 2014, 03:13 PM.
