After observing in both a public school location and a private school location, I have noticed many similarities with both along with many differences.
In the public school, there is only one teacher assigned to a class where in the private school they have the main teacher and a teachers aid. In the public school they switch teachers and classrooms during their RTI intervention classes. These classes include: Mathematics and ELA. In the Private school they do not switch classes for these subjects. Everything is taught by their primary teacher in one classroom. I feel the private school way is a bit more organized and topics and subjects aren't scattered everywhere. Public schools seem to be unorganized and students are much more wild and hyper. Private schools have more of a stricter view on things because parents are paying extra for the extra care of their children.
Above is a chart of the percents of the behavior by students in the public school and private school locations.
Here is a chart that shows an amount of students who are enrolled in public schools, private schools, or not enrolled at all. It shows that a great amount are not enrolled or are most likely home schooled. Public schools have a greater amount of enrollments than privates as well. Private schools usually cost a great amount of money which becomes difficult for some parents forcing them to send their children to public school locations.
There is nothing wrong with public schools. You are getting just as good as an education as you are in private schools in my opinion. Yes, private schools are a bit more organized, but you will have students who struggle in some subjects and students who excel at any school you attend.
