Re: American public education - myths exploded
My mom taught in the city public schools for over 15 years, before moving to a private Catholic school for the last few years. She says that the same things are taught in the same way. Two major differences.....In the Catholic school, parents are involved and make sure their kids do their homework, and at least halfway pay attention. In other words, reinforcement of what they get at school. Second, the learning environment is much less hectic due to the fact that schools can pick who comes, who stays, and the fact that most parents won't shell out a lot of money for their kid to go that private school and goof off.
