"What's the difference?" Eng 200

What's the difference between going to a public school, a private school, or even being home schooled?

In the article I read this week, a German family took there children out of there public school for the fact that they didn't like what there children where being taught. In Germany it is illegal for your children to not be in school, so before police had to intervene and take the children to school, that family was forced to pay some pretty intense fees.

How I can understand if maybe one day they were talking about evolution instead of the birth of Christ, I know a lot of people get upset over that one in public schools, but I don't know what else could be so wrong for those children to not be in school.

Here in Kentucky I knew one person who was home schooled up until his senior year of high school, and he told me he loved every minute of it. I personally think that students should be in school, for the fact that they get out of the house, learn to talk to adults, and children there own age.
Because to be honest the kid I know, he was weird for a majority of that senior year.

Another thing I wanted to mention before ending yet another English 200 rant.

Is the difference between public schools and private schools.

I went to a public school, I don't feel as if i learned less this way.
I'm glad I didn't have to have my parents spend the extra tuition for me to get taught by teachers who are just the same.

A friend of mine, she, and her younger sister both attended the public school I did, but her younger brother attended Trinity, an all male private school.

Her parents had to spend the extra money for him to attended that school, when he learned the exact same things. Sure maybe the distraction of girls weren't in the mix...but what teenage boy finds that as a positive.

I love the fact I attended a public school, and that I rode the bus.

Without these two american childhood traits I probably wouldn't be the person I am today.
