Hello everyone, I live in CA and was wondering about kids education. What do you all think of the education in public school vs private school? Is it worth to spend that much money? Is there a difference? I went to private school all my life but not in this country. Any advice from moms that had both experience between private school and public school. Thank you in advance.
Depends where in CA you live. Some districts are great…some are horrible. Do some research specific to your local school district before making a decision. There’s a lot of public information available on academic performance in CA as well as for each public school district
Public school in California is decent I guess. A lot of extra curricular options though so that’s always a plus to me. My family was selective of public schools in Texas and were worried they would “dumb down” my California education. Teachers are overwhelmed and have been for a long time. Larger classrooms. I never had a class smaller than 25-30 students to 1 teacher growing up. Both will have student to student drama. Your education outside of this country was probably more thorough. The curriculum here different from district to district, state to state. Political has seeped into education so depending on how much the state/district cares about “preserving the American image” you may have to supplement a bit in history.
