Hear Hear.\n\nIt surprises me how ignorant people are. Here you are, saying that you want to choose to send your kid to a private school. Another poster decides that yes, you should be able to do that, but "it is wrong to take money out of the public school system." Hmmm....your tax dollars pay for the public schools, if you want to send your kid to private school, you're free to do so, but you still have to pay for other kids to go to public school? Does that make sense to you?\n\nI agree with you. Tax me less, and I'll make the decision with the LARGER disposable income I have, as to which school my kid goes to.

Most colleges are attached to Universities.\n\nLook up Universities on Internet and see if they have the interest in the proposal.\n\nMost institutions are private independent from government but you may want blessing of a board of education or professional society.

Having taught in all three types, the best answer I can give is...I don't know.  \n\nIn my experiences, as long as you're teaching the basic goals/objectives (which would essentially be the same anywhere), how you get it done generally isn't an issue unless you happen to have a principal that demands things a certain way (only run across one like that before).  I've been able to do all kinds of things in all three types of settings.\n\nAdministrative support seems totally dependent on the people in those positions, not what type of school it is.  I have had a horrible and an amazing principal in public school, and can say the same either from personal experience or in talking to others about the other two types.\n\nAs far as funding, I live in the St. Louis area now, and spent most of my life in Kansas City, MIssouri, so in speaking from those places, private schools made much less, while public and charter schools were close to the same, although districts and/or schools did have differences.  You will likely find that rural schools pay much less if you look in that direction.  \n\nI can't really say my time in charter schools was my favorite.  It seemed that many students came to them after they had been big discipline problems at their other schools and wanted to try a different school, although the problems usually carried over.  Public schools can be frustrating at times, because there are many hoops to jump through at times, especially when it comes to standardized testing, some thing private school s(at least around me) aren't required to do).  \n\nI'm not sure if this is much of an answer, but I hope I at least pointed out a few things from the view of where I am anyway.  Asking around can be a great thing, as teachers will generally tell you the straight truth about the place they work.  My best advice would be to find a school that you find yourself comfortable in, both in your teachers, and your principal.  You will always find enough teachers that you can get along with great at any school, but the principal can be more difficult.  If you click with that person, you should have it made as long as you do well at your teaching.  Best of luck on your career!

I really don't think your facts are right, but I will guarantee you that if private schools had to accept all students, and could not be selective as they are now, then their costs would rise dramatically.\nI don't have a problem with private schools, but you are comparing apples and oranges when you compare the two. Public schools cannot refuse admission to students, they must have special education programs, they must adhere to strict guidelines from the state, etc. Private schools don't.

You can choose to either go to  a private art school, or a public one.  Some good private art schools are Art Center College of Design, and  Cal Arts.   A lot of it depends on what your specialty is, if it's like Graphic Design or like, Photography.   You should learn as much as you can before  making your decision, because it's a big one. Try doing a google search on art schools in California.

There's huge variability in how much money college ends up costing you. There are plenty of affordable options. In the end, students decide how much they pay by choosing the colleges they apply to and attend.

I have to disagree with some of the preceding comments.  I took courses online from UoP until I could no longer afford them, and then I transferred to a public university (from which I am graduating in 9 days).  The UoP curriculum for my area of study was much better than that of the public university.  Of course, that experience may be due to the major itself (Information Technology).  I can't swear to what other programs are like.  So, like everything else, your mileage may vary.

They are a proprietary school (for profit) more interested in getting a students money than providing a quality education.  It's not a well respected degree by employers.

Colleges care more about your academic achievements, rather than where you go to high school. After all, aren't all high schools, from the public ones to the parochial ones, suppose to be accredited by a qualified educational agency ?

Try searching the topic on yahoo.com and see what comes up.  Try industrial vs. classical education.

I think colleges tend to be more private, more focused on a particular form and discipline of study, where universities are generalized to many study programs.  Some colleges tend to be smaller, while university tends to be quite large.\n\nI think your analogy runs true in the US as well

Private schools know they are an expensive option for you to select so they have to work hard to earn your business,\n\npublic schools couldn't care less about impressing you or earning your business. \n\nAll you have to do is compare the percentage of students that actually graduate from public schools compared to private, \n\ncompare the SAT scores from public and private schools and finally compare the percentage of graduating seniors that go on to college from each. \n\nThe only excuse for sending your kids to public schools is because you can't afford it.  \n\nFinal thing to look at, find out where your Senators and congressmen send their kids, even though they are ultimately responsible for "public education" over 90% send their kids to private school, think they know something?

College changed my life. It opens your eyes, and it's the sweetest life experience. I never lived in dorms, but I've been told that you really bond with roommates, and more often than not you find life long friends in there. Professors: the range is as wide as it can be, you'll have the ones you totally hate, and the ones you just fall in love with. Occasionally you'll get both extremes merged in one prof. Activities, classes, and students are all relative to your major and what school you're going to. I went to a public university and it was awesome. That's the one place where no matter where you're from, you're all the same.

I'm thinking of getting my Doctorate in Religious education.  I plan on teaching religion at a high school or college level.  I'm not sure what else you can do with the degree.  I attend a private college now and most likely will go to a private school for my Doctorate also.

I never took classes from these two institutes you mentioned. But I do know in some areas (such as preschool  teaching permits) do not accept units taken from these schools. I am not saying they are bad. Just be very careful about what you want to do with the units/degree later.
