Private School is worth the $

For my project topic I plan on comparing and contrasting the educational values associated with both public and private schooling. I can speak about this topic from experience because I have been exposed to both types. I attended public school from Pre-K through eighth grade and enrolled in a private College Prep High School. When I went to a public middle school, I was not too fond of the teachers or curriculum. I felt as if the teachers were only teaching to the next test and trying their hardest to meet the standards of the state. They weren't at all concerned as to how the students were absorbing the material. Every afternoon I found myself in my math teacher's office in seventh grade, seeking help on what was just taught in class. It was easy to regurgitate the material for the upcoming exam because that was the goal of the teacher and all that was necessary in his or her eyes. If the same problems were given to me a month later, I would proceed to act as if I had never seen them before. Once I started my high school education I could tell that there was a significant difference in the atmosphere and teachers' efforts as soon as I began my freshman year. It was obvious that the teachers wanted to be there and there was no quota as to how many chapters of the book to cover, or Standardized Test scores to meet. Our in-class conversations lasted forty-five minutes and that's where I learned the most throughout my schooling career. I received tips on how to study, facts that I could easily remember for years to come, and information that helped me both inside and outside of school. I see myself as fortunate because I was actually able to enjoy my classes thanks to my influential teachers.
