Do Private schools offer decent amount of financial aid now?
Q. I am a student of the UC system and am disappointed that I am going to have to go broke in order to pay for my tuition. I am planning on transferring to a different school/dropping out if my financial situation continues on like this. I was wondering though if private schools still offer decent financial aid compared to this broken public UC system that I go to.

A. most schools that are accredited offer FA, if you apply and fill out a Fafsa or pell application you might qualify for free money, there is also something called bog fee waiver, most people qualify for that, the rest of the money owed you can apply for student loans, they are low interest and you do not have to pay them back until six months after you graduate, by then you should be working, as long as you keep going to school you can defer them. There are the subsadized and unsubsidized loan which one the interes is paid by the government and the other one interes acrues.

Do all private schools require you to wear a uniform?
Q. I want to go to a private school that is much more elite than public school, but I don't want to wear a uniform. Do all private schools require you to wear a uniform, or do some let you wear what you want?
Asked by Juicystar:) - Wed Jun 24 13:01:35 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Not always. It just depends on the school. Having at least some sort of dress code beyond the very limited ones public schools have is common, though, because they have more ability to set rules as an alternate institution. ("If you don't like it, go somewhere else.") The Catholic schools I went to had relatively decent dress codes -- basically had us wearing what the adult world calls "business casual", which isn't at all bad once you get used to it.

Does Private Schools assist in helping students with special needs? If so, how do they assist?
Q. I have heard that private schools do not have to offer services to students who have special needs like a learning disability as oppose to a public school which is required by law to assist students with special needs.

A. It really depends on the private school. They are not required to by US law. Where I live, if a private school thinks one of their students might have a disability, they or the parents contact the local public school, and the public school does an evaluation at public expense. They need to cooperate with the private school teachers for this. They need data from the private school, they will probably need to observe the student in their usual classroom, and the private school teachers need to attend the meetings where decisions are made.

What is the difference between catholic school and private school and does catholic schools have uniforms?
Q. Are catholic schools private or there are catholic schools and private catholic schools?
Asked by Pat - Thu Jul 2 01:23:02 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Private schools, also known as independent schools, are not administered by local, state or national governments; thus, they retain the right to select their students and are funded in whole or in part by charging their students tuition, rather than relying on public (state) funds. While Catholic schools are education ministries of the Roman Catholic Church. Presently, the Church operates the world's largest non-governmental school system. These schools aim to develop their students through participation in the sacramental life of the Church, study of religion and theology, a full curriculum in secular subjects, and a variety of extracurricular activities. AND school uniforms are often a requirement for students in Catholic schools.

Maybe you can check on the website of the association that the school is part of? Something like: I live in the LA, CA area, and at my son's (excellent) private school, the part-time band teacher was not yet a teacher, but was in the process of getting certified. One of the PE teachers was not a teacher yet either. Good luck!

Q. I have a bachelors degree in music and I'm qualified to teach beginning band. I've been hired by a company to teach band at several small private christian schools. I don't have a teaching certificate, so in the state of Oklahoma, am I allowed to do this?

A. If the company you're working for knows your qualifications and is ok, it's probably fine. I wouldn't worry, after all, you're just an employee. Private school is different from public school. Maybe you can check on the website of the association that the school is part of? Something like: I live in the LA, CA area, and at my son's (excellent) private school, the part-time band teacher was not yet a teacher, but was in the process of getting certified. One of the PE teachers was not a teacher yet either. Good luck!

What do you think of Michelle Obama interviewing private schools in DC?
Q. that cost around 30,000 per year? Isn't that a little hypocritical while all their supporters in DC have to deal with public schools? And guess what-Sarah Palin's kids go to public school, Obama's kids went to a super exclusive private school in Chicago-and you are telling me that Sarah is the diva?

A. I think she's an elitist hypocrite. The Obamas are against school vouchers that would allow the majority of Americans to afford the educational opportunities she can give her kids. BUT, it is the agenda of the Obamas to maintain the "Status Quo" (substandard public education) for your kids and my kids... To all of you expressing safety concerns: Is the safety and security of Obamas kids MORE important than the safety of your own kids? If you are any kind of parent at all; I would think not!

What role does money play in public and private schools in the US?
Q. Some say schools would do better if the government gave them more money. How does money improve both public and private schools and education within the scholastic system in the US?
Asked by Angelbub - Mon Jan 15 10:58:29 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. The government's answer to everything..."If is broken, throw some money on it." Money plays a very important role in education. As educators we have a saying at school..."No dollar bill left behind!" The government is paying an obscene amount of money to pay for private tutoring for underpriviledged students. (More than $125 an hour!) Teachers can't apply to be private tutors and the tutoring program is unorganized and unstructured. Its really a scam. Why doesn't the government just give that money to the low paying teacher's salaries or for college tuition for teachers? In my opinion,, they don't really want good education. If people could read and think critically, they might overthow the rotten government. Intellegent, well… [cont.]

what's the difference between more expensive private schools and less expensive private schools?
Q. is the more expensive private schools better?
Asked by Audrey - Wed Feb 4 02:11:06 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It really depends. Some less expensive schools may not have as fancy facilities as the more expensive schools (a fancy sports field can literally cost millions) but they actually teach a more rigorous curriculum and are in that way more elite. Some can be less expensive because their facilities are paid for and the school has little or no debt. Catholic schools are often half the cost of comparable private schools, either due to church support, or donors. Some expensive private schools are in wealthy areas and they receive huge donations ($500,000+) from families who want their kids to attend the schools. Their kids may not be the brightest, but the parents pay for a safe, fancy environment, if not the most rigorous education. In LA, CA… [cont.]
