this question is stupid obviously public education, but instead of sending your kid to w/e public school is in your district or w/e the term that splits people into school zones the money that the taxpayers spend on each child, should be attached to that kid, go to the school you want, if a school and teachers suck, send your kid to a different school, bad schools fail, competition breads success and only good school and teachers survive, simple.

Everyone has a good excuse, the no one up there sent their kids to an inner city public school...heck, the public schools in the research triangle in NC are better than some colleges at what they do...but unfortunately, most Americans don't have access to the top 5% of public schools in the country....what about the rest of us???

Liberals are all hypocrites.

Not all private schools teach quality education and versa. So it really doesn't matter where you will instill your children to education.It still depends on the student's intelligence and ability to adopt each lesson and homework that they have each curriculum and level. And not all teachers in public schools are theoretical and versa...

The immature will say public school

The mature will say private school

People who bad private school seem a bit jealous.. Most kids that attend them are NOT rich at all.. I've gone to private all my life

If we really want to turn around the public schools, we need to get rid of the union. The only thing they do is prevent the firings of bad teachers and prevent raising salaries of the good ones.

I'm sorry about those people who have their heads stuck too far up their arses to see that the state will never have enough money to inject enough funds into the UK education system to make schools in the Uk great again. Not sure what it's like in the US but then again I'm not expecting much there either.

[cgc1997]

I go to an English private school, and I do think that (after being in a public school for a good 5 years) there are more qualified teachers, and as the person below me said, a lot more care and attention goes into your education. But you do have to go to school on Saturday. Which sucks.

Private schools,have smaller classes which means more 1 on 1 teaching.The private school in my town has a %98 graduation rate.Public schools,there are more fights.Where i live there are in public schools.The private school children wear nice looking uniforms while i cannot say this about the public schools,some of hese kids look like crap no offense.They need uniforms i believe private school or not.
