Thank you, Captain Obvious.
It’s because they’re not overloaded with administrators and administrator assistance and assistant to the assistance; and teacher assistance with assistance. And we’re not even talking about office staff with their assistants. I read where over half of a public schools money goes to staff payroll.
LOL! Private schools don’t have 3 administrators for every teacher.
I started spouting off about the evils of Islam and by 13yr old pipes up and says not all Muslims are bad. I said, who told you that, did you learn it in school - he said yes.
So I said the Koran - their bible (he was just confirmed) - says to kill all non-believes. He called BS.
So I sat him down and googled “evils of Islam” and BOOM there it was - all the verses calling for violence.
He sat and read it thoroughly, sat back and said “wow.”
Sick of having to undo all the brainwashing.
Public education, besides being a leftists propaganda machine, exist’s to provide jobs for incompetent diverse ones.
Depends on the private schools.
The three Catholic private schools, I’m familiar with neighbor kids attending and two of our younger relatives have a basic $20,000 fee per year, That is only a down payment as all types of expenses are charged after admittance.
They also don’t have to provide a full time aid per special Ed student. A one to one ratio is expensive. I suspect most private schools don’t offer special education services? From what I’ve heard CMCS in Prinsburg, Mn is an exception.
Aids are, however, far less costly than administrators so you are correct about the biggest difference in expenses. School social workers, counselors, nurses, etc are further expenses.
Depends on the “private” school. And, your property and state income taxes still pay for public schools. You are NOT exempt from paying for public schools if you homeschool or send your kids to public schools.
Public schools are Satan’s American masterpiece.
On average the cost of the actual education is less.
Government doesn’t do anything better or more efficiently than private enterprise.
Public schools have become a jobs program for liberals.
Only 13% of Michigan private schools are not affiliated with some religious institution, so direct student costs may be misleading, as the schools may receive subsidies from their parent religious organization.
Nor do they have the “medical” staff of therapists - psychologists, behavior specialists, occupational therapists, special ed teachers, etc etc etc. plus one-to-one “shadow aides” for the pain in the ass students.
That's usually the case. For me, that means I get to pay taxes for public schools I don't use, and I also pay (through assessment on my parish) for Catholic schools I don't use. Then I actually, finally, pay for my own children's education.
I could be upset about this, but how would that help? At least it keeps other people's kids off the street.
Decades ago. The more depressed the city, the more people depend on the school system for jobs.
Private school savings:
Less Administration
No Unions
Less grandiose facilities
Focused curricula
No Featherbedding administration.
Public schools are nothing but indoctrination centers, anyone with the means to have their children attend private schools yet sends them to public schools is engaging in child abuse as far as I am concerned...
And that was before they said your daughters will have to put up with boys in their restrooms and locker rooms.
