With all that being said the resources in some private and public schools allow students to be more successful through multiple ways. There are many students who want to be successful but are stifled by the lack of resources.

Resources include many things like updated technology, buildings, qualified teachers and coaches, outside of school environments, food security, access to sports and clubs in and outside of schools.

I went to a private school and wish they included some sort of trade learning along with academics.


Thank you. Great points. Why people feel superior for choosing a private school is beyond me. We are all paying taxes toward public schools and it is for the betterment of our entire society that these schools be beneficial to all who attend. Many of them are excellent. Many of them are lacking resources but if I get into why, I'm sure I'll be called Woke or some other dismissive name. The point is, private is not better. Just different. Some people have a choice and make it. Others don't. Many people are deeply committed to public schools and whether you choose private or public, you should be grateful. Because the fact is that most people go to public schools and unless you are living in some kind of elitist bubble, you are going to be around these people. So stop denigrating and being a snob.
