| Private Education Should Be Banned |
| What do you think, should every child have an equal chance through state education for all, or should those from privileged backgrounds be able to have the choice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
It depends |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Private schools contribute to class divisions and perpetuate the handing down of privilege through
generations. Those who say 'I went to private school and loved it' are missing the point. |

I totally agree. It's an unfair system and once again the rich get everything. Life should not be
based on money! It should be based on talent. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Private everything! |

Private education is detrimental to the whole system. It takes the best resources away from the ones
who most need it. For example special needs staff, teachers which could be distributed in a fairer
way by the state |

At the end of the day u have to think about everybody and think whats different about
uz............. That's it there is nothing everybody is human and there for i think that people
should have the same opportunities in education what about the folk that cant afford it!!!! |

Even in an ideal world, public education is merely centralized propaganda. We need private education
to preserve a diversity of viewpoints, as well as the practice of critical thinking for one's self.
We also need poets, scientists, musicians, philosophers, novelists, and other "deep" thinkers.
But on the other hand, we need public education as well because we need people who are easily led,
as well as a steady supply of refrigeration repairmen, consumers, jocks, soldiers, and line
cooks.
This obviously got posted on the wrong side (my bad and no way to fix?).

I think private school should be banned. Just because you have more money doesn't make you any
different to any other child.... |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

|

I don't necessarily believe it should be banned but I do think that more options for not wealthy
children should be available. Private schools do have a better curriculum but this is because the
teachers are better trained and get paid more. I think if the school systems had more money and the
teachers got paid the same as private schools, public schools would be equivalent. Instead, here in
America, we pay our athletes and actors/actresses millions of dollars while teachers make pennies.
The system is all backwards and I think it is ridiculous that people think this is OK. If that money
was invested in public schools, there would not be much difference between the two. |

Private schooling should be banned! Every child should get similar schooling so that there is no
difference when they get out in the market. Government institutions should be of high standards and
made to accommodate every child.
Private schooling creates differences among the students. Students think they are superior and
others are inferior. This goes on when they get out in the field and discrimination prevails because
of schooling differences.
Reason why they should be banned is that they create class differences. Only people of elite class
can afford private institutions. Their behavior and attitude differs in every way from that of the
lower or middle class child.
To diminish these differences, private schools should be banned and Government institutions should
prevail to make a homogeneous society. |

Private schooling is unnecessary to an extent. It is just a way to exploit wealth and to insenuate
that the persons are better than others in my opinion. I honestly don't see the difference in
private or public and i have been through both. Private is just a riskier financial decision is all. |

I agree with the fact that parents should be able to choose whether or not their child goes into
private schooling and I can totally see where people are coming from, it's just that private
schooled children spend a lot of their time not at school - they seem to have more time off than
state school children when parents have paid a load of money for them to be there. I do think though
that private schools do have better teaching, but if there was just one education system, all
children would have the chance to have the same quality and level of teaching and education. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree with your point. Private Education should be banned because of the following reasons:
1- If there was one education system, then all students would have equal rights to get the same
level of education.
2- The standard of education will also be higher than that of state education.
So, only one education system is better. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree that there should be one education system which is state education system for all poor and
rich. If there would be one education system then the private education will not exist. Every child
has the equal rights in a state so the state is responsible to give them free education with a
standard curriculum so that there would be no discrimination. |

No because people have fobieas outside |

My parents sacrificed and did without so my sister and I could have a private school education. It
started out because we would have been bused into the city as a result of desegregation and my
mother didn't want us on the long bus trip to and from school. After we moved to another state, we
just didn't thrive in the public school environment. I graduated from a tiny private school that
had been founded by a man who left instructions about class size and who left money to run the
school that would keep the tuition affordable. Still, the only students had to be intelligent and
willing to work hard. We had an honor system. There were no lockers and no one stole. That would
have been grounds for an immediate expulsion. Not one student smoked, drank or did drugs in my
entire high school. Believe me, I did know all of them. There were about 9 or 10 students in each
grade in the high school. That school gave me a warm environment to grow, learn and succeed. It
also gave me a sense of pride that I could be a part of such a loving and nurturing environment.
Not all private schools are only for the wealthy or are elitist. There were not too many wealthy
students in that school, but there were bright kids with a desire to learn and to work together. |

One should have the right to have more education than another. It is freedom of choice. Why should
you deprive one of education? The more education, the better. If private education will be banned,
then the standard of education should then rise otherwise where will you find the proffesionals in
the future? Doctors? Surgeons? Engineers? Lawyers? Teachers? If you are passionate about your
education, you should have the right to make it better. |

Absolutely not! Quality of education would decrease incredibly with only state schools. I would
love to see the department of education eliminated. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Although I defend the same opportunity for all talented students (and therefore would support grants
for poor and yet talented students), I could not agree less on this.
Private schools offer a greater variety to choice, and a quality alternative to the state school
system. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't see it as "rich" v "poor". I see it as freedom of choice. Many poor kids go to private
schools. And unfortunately, some will not have a choice, but that should not exclude others from
having the choice. |

I am currently attending a catholic coeducational private $10,000 school. Can my mother afford it?
NO! It all depends on the sacrifices your parents are willing to make to ensure you receive an
education above satisfactory level and to grow in your faith as a catholic. No one should be denied
the opportunity to learn more. |

How else would kids learn about Christian beliefs from a young age? Besides, a learning environment
with Christians in it makes students feel more comfortable (if they are Christians). |

I go to a private school and I love it! |

To take away private schools ( I am think primarily of christian/religious school) would take away
someone's religious freedoms. It is their desicion isn't it? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't think so. Kids who have being born into wealthy families should be able to have that choice,
why should we take it away from them? We wouldn't want to be dictated just because some people
somewhere don't have the same options. That's like saying we should stop being educated altogether
because some poor African children can't be educated. |

I think that private schools are good for America. My parents aren't rich, and yet i went to a
private school for six years. I liked it for the most part, the only thing i disliked was the
uniforms, so no, they should not be banned. Besides, banning them would violate our rights a U.S.
Citizens. We have the right to send our children to whichever school we choose, be it private or
public. |

Good Grief, Private school is a safe haven for some students who can't handle the lack of structure
in public schools or for those who need smaller class sizes. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Its more effective than public education and costs less tax dollars. |
| |
|

Yeah!!!!!!! Lets drag them down with us! I don't want anyone to have anything better then ME! |

Just because most of the people can´t take their children on private schools it shouldn't be
impossible to everyone.
Parents who don´t earn the same lot of money like others shouldn't expect the others to take their
children to classic schools just because their own children have to go to a worse school. |
| |
|

Private schools do offer a better education because people pay for it. Just because a student goes
to a private school doesn't mean that they are better than one who attends public school. However,
knowing both systems very well, I have to say that I will send my son to private school because with
what goes on at the public schools here, where i live, I want him to excel in his studies so that he
can explore all of his avenues if and when he decides to go to college. |

I do not agree with the idea that private schools should be banned just because they give a better
quality of education to children because the fault is not in the private schools but in the state
schools and so i think that just because something has been successful it should not be punished but
instead it you should ask should state schools begin to construct themselves in a way similar to
private schools, i don't agree that paying for your child's education is unfair to those who cant
afford to do it, because if your child wants to learn it will we all follow the same curriculum for
GCSE's and the same books are available to everyone I went to state primary school and private high
school I am now back at a state sixth form my grades have not lessened at sixth form because I am
determined and focused. The problem is not with the teachers but with the discipline of the children
in my school the rules where simple no make up no dyed hair no religious jewelarry no braids we all
had to wear full school uniform which was checked almost daily and bought from the school we had to
stay in school for lunch and eat school lunches you got an order mark for bad behaviour three order
marks and you was expelled if you wanted to be there you followed the rules if you didn't then break
them and leave that way it is up to you in my 5 years there I did not see one fight one instance of
bullying no drugs smoking or drinking in school we all had respect for the school and if state
schools become that strict then the people who wanted to be in school would prosper because they
would not be brought down by those who did not want to be there! My family aren't particularly
wealthy neither of my parents went to university my dad works ad a painter and decorator my mum in
sales we sacraficed things to send me to that school and it was the best 5 years of my life I have
noticed that in my sixth form which is a state school there are less rules there are less rewards
for good behaviour I know that as something to do with age but from what my friends of told me it is
similar in state high schools the problem is with the ability of state run systems to discipline and
punish not with the existence of private schools!!!! |

NO way kids some kids need that. |

I disagree. Some children and/or teens just can not "function" in a public school system. |

My late father was a Headmaster/Educationalist, whose biggest regret was that he supported the then
Government when they brought in Comprehensive education in schools, and he helped to set them up.
He lived to regret it as he stated it did not uphold or encourage excellence, just brought everyone
down to the same level. He recognized this as a form of Communism towards the end of his life. Yes,
people MUST have a choice. |

Do you even know anything about private education?
Private schools offer scholarships and bursaries to any children who cannot afford to pay but show
potential in any area of school life. If anyone wanted to go to private school that badly but did
not have the money, then their sheer determination to get a private education would win them a
scholarship. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Private schools will allow intelligent people in for very little money... This sends out the message
that if you learn and become intelligent, better future education awaits. |
| |
|

|

Do people realise how many private schools have bursey and scholarship pupils
people assume that because somebody goes to private school, they are obviously rolling in cash, this
is a huge misconception
in the school that i attend, half the pupils are here on scholarship and bursaries. |

I go to private school... No one bullies and are all friendly....
The education is actually extremely good... Some facilities are bad though.... |

I think there's a generation of kids today who may think they are entitled to equality. I just
don't understand it myself. If you want something go get it. If you want equality for all, keep
dreaming. There is no world where this ever happens in real life. |

Sash!!private education are always better than the public,in my opinion. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is citizen's right to choose their education. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I think to understand this you need to understand the nature of these educational places...
In simple terms: What you are taught in a private school is how to be a leader, they teach you about
taking responsibility and individualism and leading teams, that is their function.
Public schools are about producing factory fodder, producing workers, they teach you how to work as
a team, in sport, in class and in temperament .. That is their function..
Both are valid as we need workers and we need leaders, and for me the real truth of the matter is
that government knows this and uses the system in this way to produce workers and leaders for the
future.. Although they would never say that or in fact would deny it, saying there is equal
opportunity when realistically there is not..
And perhaps the bit most people wont get is.. That's OK.. It kind of has to be that way for as a
society we need both, these 2 different formats produce that.. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Absolutely not. Simply put; lack of a private would be discriminatory against the more
intelligent children. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I disagree! Those that want private education should have that right if they want it. |
