Pros and cons of private school?

This page is a permanent link to the reply below and its nested replies. See all post replies »
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.
