Public vs. Private

In this article a family has a daughter who wants to go to a local public school, but her parents have found bad environments in previous public schools. These parents have found much higher education and a safer environment is found in private schools. They moved to Dallas and came to the same question private or public? They chose public school in the end due to cost of private schools, and satisfactory of her safety in public schools; although the parents thought their daughter would be lacking in educational skills. I was not sold that the parents thought this was a good decision, was it? Sure it was, public schools are easy on parents pockets while getting a degree (GED). Kids in pubic schools might not get the one on one teachings as much as a private schools could offer, but private schools can not offer the diversity any public school can offer. Kids encounter situations when they get into the real world that I believe public schooling prepares you for or at least a similar situations occur. Such as race and religion exposure, poverty and wealth. Kids have to know how to speak about these subjects, and how to deal with people who are not exactly like them or who don't have the same views. I think its healthy for kids to hear different views on subjects even if their views are completely wrong in most peoples eyes. So, the argument that public schools do not provide the same level of education could be right when it comes to tests with books, but the every day tests with enter action a kid encounters in public schools is incomparable! This family made the right decision for their daughter!
