Hmm...not in my opinion it isn't.
Both Private and Public schools are based on 50s ways of teaching.
Those studies on Private school are a great conversation starter, but that is it.
You take all the kids who need public school(as they can't afford it otherwise...and even if you gave them back their taxes that went into it, it wouldn't afford private schools) and place them in private schools and then we look at the scores, I'm betting money we'd similar results.
The way we teach our kids isn't working.
I'm not outright against Private schools, but I'm not for getting rid of Public schools.
We should look at other countries(and I don't mean turn us into Socialist Europe), Look at how they teach, the hours they teach, etc etc.
I personally feel we should have more exploratory programs rather than, Student sit in desk. Teacher teach to student. Student learn.
And...I think I derailed this topic...
