What are some differences between public schools and private schools?

Answer 1

The private schools cost you money, and sometimes don't participate in public school events. Public schools are for everyone, for anyone to come and be educated. It odesn't cost you anything to receive education from Public schools. Grammar schools are have a similarity to Public schools - you don't have to pay school fees. But Grammar schools are selective, for extra-brainy people^^ You may have to take a special entrance exam or something to get in. I hope this has helped^^

Answer 2

Private schools, of course, charge tuition. Private schools also may or may not have a religious affiliation. Private schools offer a better education. They also have to wear uniforms, most of the time.

here are the main categories that indicate differences.

• Academic reputation and college preparation
• School size and Class size
• Safety reputation
• Special programs
• Costs
• Religious and Moral instruction
• Location
• Ideology

Answer 3

There's a lot of factors to consider in comparing private schools to government schools. One of the examples are the facilities. A lot of people say that the facilities in private schools are more impressive than government schools.

Another factor is teaching. Both public and private schools require their teachers with a degree or a teaching certificate. Private schools tend to hire teachers with advanced degrees in their subject over teachers who have an education degree. But I think that it's also the same with government schools.

Another factor that I can think of is the budget. Government schools are affordable since local property taxes support the bulk of public education. Unlike private schools, they can raise tuition, and they also can raise significant amounts of money from a variety of development activities.

The answer is, at least in part, an "all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs" sort of thing.

A "community" school may simply refer to a school, of whatever type, public or private, that's in a particular community; and those in said community simply refer to it as "the community school" (probably because it's the only school in said community). If so, then said community school could be of any type: an elementary (or "grammar") school, a middle school, a high school... whatever.

Or, the term "community school" could be a name given to a special kind of school (again, be it public or private; but, in a case like that, likely private), which has a special purpose or way of operating that's somehow different from a typical public or private school that's in the community. The official corporate name of which is "Community School," which does, indeed, offer elementary (or "grammar") school level programs. If that's what the questioner meant, then, again, the difference could be mere terminology (since this "Community School" does, indeed, offer "grammar school" coursework); or the questioner might actually want to know how this "Community School's" grammar-school-level coursework and experience differs from that of a public grammar school. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that there are even other private companies or organizations which call their programs "Community School" and the list goes on and on.

The term "Community School" could also refer to what is, in essence, a special kind of charter school wherein the school is mostly publicly funded (and so that's, in part, the similarity with a "charter" school) but there is, additionally, a very formal and intentional commitment from and involvement with the local community (in the form of volunteers and others) which helps to both teach the children just like in any school, but also help the children to be better citizens, to be healthier, to become more involved in their local community, to be better leaders, etc. It's a sort of "it takes a village" approach, wherein the school becomes the center of community life.

Sadly, so many different kinds of educational entities are now calling themselves "community schools" that it's very difficult, at the moment, to define what the term actually means. The "original" one, though, was (and still is) in Chicago, as part of a special initiative by the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system. The appointment, under the Obama Administration, of the former head of CPS, Arne Duncan, to the cabinet-level "Secretary of Education" position, has caused the "Community School" concept to be funded and to expand across the nation. So, if that's what the question meant by "community school" versus "grammar school," then the answer is, simply, that a "grammar school" is an elementary school like any other "grammar school" (or "elementary school") in history, or anywhere in the United States, wherein the student gets-up in the morning, as usual, goes to school and sits in a classroom all day, as usual, and then goes home after school and watches TV, or plays with friends, or does homework, or whatever... as usual.

However, a "community school" will, of course, teach all the same information as in a normal "grammar school," but in a more holistic manner, involving volunteers and others from the community (in addition to traditional licensed teachers, of course), who help students to learn about all kinds of other interesting stuff... some of it in the classroom, some of it "after school" in groups and special classes, etc. Said "other stuff" includes not just reading, writing and arithmetic, as in a typical and more traditional "grammar" or "elementary" school, but will also include teaching leadership skills, skill in how to become more involved in one's community, skills in how to be more healthy, skills in... well... the list just goes on and on.

A "community school," then, is probably a far more holistic, complete, well-rounded, all-encompassing and likely, then, far more beneficial educational experience for the student than a traditional "elementary" or "grammar" school.

To learn more about the "community school" concept, check-out the US Department of Education's "21ST CENTURY COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTERS" website where you may begin to understand how it all works. You may also want to visit the website of the "Federation for Community Schools" which kinda' helped get it all started, and is now helping to facilitate the concept in other places.
