Pros and cons of private school?

We sent our daughter to a Catholic school. One of the biggest benefits was simply that everyone at the school came from families where the parents valued education enough to pay money for it. So the tone, the culture, was a positive one. This is not to deny that there are plenty of families of public school kids where education is also valued, but at her school, there wasn't the apathy or hostility toward learning, or towards kids who studied hard and took teachers seriously, that good students often have to contend with at some public schools.

Private education (public school education, in Britain) can offer the best facilities, the best teaching staff, the widest range of subjects, the best opportunities for networking, the highest chance of getting into an elite university... and the best chance to meet the sort of arrogant, entitled shits who will be ruining (no, not running) your country for the next fifty years.

The public education system offers none of that.

Pros: subjective to those who pay for private education.

Cons: hollows out the education system for those who cannot afford it: perpetuating structural inequalities; an unjustified sense of entitlement; and a general lack of empathy and community engagement.

Assuming "Private" equates with expensive and therefor "elite" (which is not a dirty word in my book) Better resources, small class sizes, extension courses and a broarder subject range are all positives as is the ability of the school to deal with disruptive students and remove them entirely for the better learning outcomes of the class..
Downside. Some elitism among students who have prominent parents.. It can be tough trying to match warbrobe for your teenager when you just dont have the income..😷

Pros
Usually smaller class sizes w more individualized attention from teachers
Usually better teaching (you get what you pay for)
Usually have advanced placement classes
Private schools usually in nice/safer locations
Perhaps a higher costing private school brings better school security(?)

Cons
Higher cost than public school
Location of private school may not be in your area, creating a transportation concern (how to get your student to the private school)
Sports team options may be limited w a smaller private school student population & school staff

Pros: Can provide targeted assistance to children with "special needs", giving extra help. Generally a safer environment, but no guarantees ; I got beaten up at Catholic school. Private schools can afford the best qualified teachers, but teachers are still fallible human beings.

Cons: The cost, and often the first example kids see of the differences being a "have" vs a "have not" can make. One thing about Catholic schools and some other private schools, we wore uniforms, and jewelry was restricted, so there was considerably less postering in that regard. Nobody really knew if you were coming to school from a single family house or a studio apartment.

I still remember in fourth grade (without consulting me (ha!) my parents transferred me from the local public school to a nearby parochial school (Catholic, taught by nuns). It was clearly more scholastically demanding there. That enabled me to qualify and attend a Jesuit exam school for boys. [We were not a well-to-do family.]

Pros: Smaller classes. Might be located in a beautiful area. Cleaner and better quality than public schools.

Cons: More expensive, still bullying going on just better disguised, strict with school uniforms, you're often far away from family and friends.

Public schools tend to teach to the lowest common denominator. Private education is typically more rigorous and thus prepares most more effectively for college. If you have the money, it’s worth the investment.

Pro: It’s safer. Con: It’s usually more expensive but worth it. I went to private schools from kindergarten to 12th grades

I had some Catholic neighbors who sent their kids to a private Lutheran school, and then pulled them out. They told me it was because they were "too religious".

Pro less chance of being target for school shooter. Con most can't afford it.

Smaller, better education
Somewhat isolating compared to public schools

Pros: smaller classes, more one on one time.

Cons: sense of entitlement

If the parents can afford the fees then there are no cons.

You are still paying for public school also

Pros: teachers amd grades favor to let you pass because it means money, usually

Cons: it's gunna enslave you most likely to massive debt, staff aren't going to be up to par cuz the school maximizes profit by minimizing teacher pay

That is the entirety of the question? Shouldn't it be more detailed or specific as to certain aspects?

Pros: learned how to wear a tie daily
Cons: everything else

Private secondary school?

Private schools are antithetical to democracy

Moreover, similarly to an all-male college, private schools create a sheltered environment that does not resemble the real world, and students have the potential to come out into the adult world unprepared for the real world, with false expectations

If a public school is lacking in some way in your opinion, work to constantly make public schools better ... if we have multiple systems for different castes we might as well revert to monarchy or worse, it is a symptom that civilization is not civilized at all and humanity is not evolving ... private schools are a sign that humanity is probably worthy of extinction, after having failed for millennia to advance [i]culturally[/i] (not just technologically)

Private schools are also a symptom of the obsolescence of the notion of [i]families[/i], leading to varying successes or failures in [i][b]parenting[/b][/i], and expecting schools to become some sort of daycare facility for kids, then getting upset that they have ceased to function as educational institutions, in painfully cliché cart-before-horse fashion. Taking families out of the equation is something that [i]Brave New World[/i] actually gets right.

Pros: Smaller classes and more funding
Cons: Not necessarily good schools

Went to to them from pre-K to 9. If I had kids I would refuse to put them through it.

Pros
Cocaine

Cons
Cocaine

Better more accurate learning, tuition from hell.
