Who do public schools have to answer to?
Q. My former high school is a big joke. Bus drivers often substitute in classes. A lot of the teachers aren't qualified to teach. The test scores are going downhill rapidly and the overall way the school handles everything from bad teachers to death threats is just ridiculous and apathetic. The people running this school obviously think that because it's such a small school the rules and regulations of public schools don't apply to them. Who can be contacted to get this situation resolved, to get this school into shape?

A. Each state has its own department of education. All public schools in a given state answers to them. If you contact them, they should definitely be able to do something about that. But if you want something done quickly, you should tip off someone in the media, if you can do that.

What is the best way to make Public schools more equitable acroos state lines?
Q. You see it all the time one school has better schools than the other one state is better than the other. It is harder to become a teacher in NY than in South Carolina. Should we make schooling be controlled and have a consistant curriculum regardless of state or locality. Should certification to teach be done by the Federal government and not the states. Should the federal government be required to set graduation standards for high school and proficency levels in middle and elementary school. I think it would be better for children who live in poor areas have to have the same tough coursework as those in rich area's. This is only for public schools not private.

Do private and public schools have the same amount of homework?
Q. I've been in the private schools my whole life & I've always wondered if public schools have more, less, or the same amount of homework. & is the homework easier or the same at public schools?
Asked by Anna S - Wed Jun 18 16:11:03 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Depends on the private and public schools you're talking about. I've been to both private and public schools and I think that in general private school students take more rigorous courses so they get more homework but then there are some public schools that are on par with most private schools and you have to take into consideration that it really depends on what courses the students take. Some public school students go for rigorous AP and IB courses and they get a lot of homework. Some are slackers and take easy classes so they don't get much homework. So it all depends.

A. Suburban public schools are better in some ways,than city schools. The biggest one being the children that they cater to. The city schools have the same curriculum, but teach it at a slower pace, because of the illiteracy of alot of the students. Whereas, in the suburbs, the children are not exposed to the same learning environment, because they are coming from more stable backgrounds. It applies to public,and private,but no so much in private. In private, the families are able to pay for good education,and so they can expect more.

We are so busy working to get those things, or for some people, just to make ends meet, that we lose touch with what's important. The parents are most times not involved enough in their children's lives to make the education they could have more valuable.

If you want to pay for public schools, then you have to do it through taxes, but these days... everyone hates the idea of new or higher taxes. If you want politicians who'll make the tough call when it's needed, you have to have term limits. Being a politician used to be a public service that you did for a time, and then went back to your other career.

Classroom sizes are big and staff resources are stretched. Australian people are being forced to put their children in private schooling so they leave school and know how to read and write properly! The problem with this is our country will become a 2 class society. Upper and lower. This is already evident with certain careers eg:doctors. Only the rich can provide the money necessary for their children to go to Private schools or Uni. Education should be free!!! Are we destined to be another "America" where the rich get richer and the poor live under bridges with their kids as… [cont.]

A. I'm from the US, so not entirely in touch with your problems, though that's never stopped me from answering before! The problem with elected officials is that they all want to be re-elected. If you want to pay for public schools, then you have to do it through taxes, but these days... everyone hates the idea of new or higher taxes. If you want politicians who'll make the tough call when it's needed, you have to have term limits. Being a politician used to be a public service that you did for a time, and then went back to your other career. Today, politicians see the service as a lifelong career with the high probability of even bigger bucks at the end (speaker's fees, book deals, etc.), and so won't make the tough calls. That all… [cont.]

What proportion of property taxes in the US go to public schools?
Q. I'm interested in your local area, your state, or if you have it, national information. Thanks, but no thanks, in advance to all who have an opinion on the wisdom of taxing property, or on the quality of public schools. Yes, thanks, I know the rate varies by location. As I stated, I'm looking for information about your rate, or the average for your state, or for the whole US. That presupposes that it varies by locality, you see. Or don't.

A. It varies from town to town. I hate to say it, but I think your question has too wide of a range to really give you any information. After all, some areas of the country have regional school districts (Massachusetts where I live is one example of that) where a school can serve more than one community in addition to having it's own school. I live in a town that is part of a 4 town regional middle/high school, and each town has it's own elementary school. Taking into account each town in America, and each state, and the US in whole, I don't think you can really get a % of the property taxes that go to school budgets.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of catholic schools vs. public schools?
Q. And were talking Suburban public schools here, not inner-city. Which setting do you think is better for students? For teachers? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

A. In my opinion: Catholic schools in the United States provide a very good moral and religious base for children. As a rule they are also safer than public schools. Educationally, most of them are above average. Although some are exceptionally good and a very few are bad. Your school or the diocese should have some test scores for comparison. In general, Catholic schools do a good job with average and above average kids. However the resources of most Catholic schools in the United States are limited. If students need extra attention due to being way over or way under average, then their needs may be more properly met in a public school. With love in Christ.
