the only thing the public school system is good at...is taking my tax dol
The public school system has many problems: only a "C" average required to become a teacher, more concern with the reputation and statistics of the school, teachers who consider it a job and not a mission, parents who don't reinforce lessons at home, teachers who don't maximize learning potential by incorporating several senses at the same time e.g. auditory and visual, tactile and auditory, etc and yes, i also know i should be using capitalization but as i often say i am more concerned with whether or not you learned something important.

I think the biggest problem with the public school relates to class size. There's no way a teacher can give the individual attention many students need if the class size is 30 students. The system is also biased toward certain types of learning.

i went to montessori
and was home schooled until high school and it was private. nothing about the public school system would appeal to me if i was a parent. and yes, i know i should be capitalizing and what not!
