"Advantages/Disadvantages of Public School." educationalgateway.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 Oct. 2011.
The main purpose of this article was to get future parents and students to consider the advantages and disadvantages of public school.
An advantage of public school is that it is free. Along with this, students get exposed to more different socio-economic backgrounds and learn to get to know everyone. Based on federal guidelines, a parent will know what to expect in terms of curriculum and their children won’t be introduced to religion.
Disadvantages run from big class sizes with not enough one on one time for students. Also, the dropout and violence rate are higher.
When picking a public school, make sure to research the best school districts in your area. Touring the school before choosing also makes the decision much easier.
