These are all benefits of funding, not private schools. And promoting private schools is how you get less funding for public schools.
Yep!
And everyone who's praising vouchers (in the US, anyway) need to know that that money is being redirected from an already under-funded public school.
ah yes, segregation by class. Certainly a better way for a better world. /s just in case
As with all things in life: if you're rich, you can get access to better things.
And, so, therein lies the problem with 'everyone should just go to a private school', unfortunately.
This is casual conversation not casual conservative.
Definitely. @OmegaLemmy@discuss.online , which casual conversation are you wanting to have with this? It seems more fit for !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world
Background checks for every family and children
Because God forbid we let people grow, change, and have opportunity once they've paid their debts to society!
Check out this guy, advocating doing background checks on children.
Around here, private schools "care" about your children's education... Unless they have learning difficulties, then they don't want to deal with them. Its harder to flout high average grades when you have less then stellar students, you see... The teachers are also the exact same (ever so slightly worse pay, but better work environment), coming from the same universities and having the same educational program to follow. It does tend to be easier to have facilities and fancy activities when you're loaded from donations, rather than chronically underfunded by politicians who send their children to private schools.
Sooooo, the private school you went to in Turkey was better than public schools in the same area. That's a lot different than saying private schools are better, full stop.
Public schools in my area have 2, 3, 5, and 6 for example, with options for equivalent trips to 1.
Tut tut, I would expect someone with a private school education to not make claims built on such specious reasoning

Well, they did say the educational aspects were the least important, so perhaps your expectations are a wee bit too high?
I don't think we should have private schools. Letting rich people pull their kids out means those kids will benefit , and the rest won't. That's not a good outcome.
None of those things you list are inherent to public vs private. They just take money, and a lot of people are selfish and short sighted so they don't want to fund schools
If the private school is also for profit (likely), all that profit is waste and theft.
the best public school environments are in those which do not allow private schools. because funding matters.
We don't choose our blueberries. We take them all and do the best we can with each. Your kid's trip to New York, might cost the same as another kid's support services.

I hope they're better. I went to one and wasn't thrilled, so it would feel like I missed out if I went to a public one.
Went to one and it was literally no better than any public one I've ever attended and I've attended many. But Canada is saner about schools besides the whole parallel Catholic stuff
