Private school vs Public School

yes

This depends entirely on where you are located.

If you're in the LC area, you have multiple good public options.

If you're in Orleans or EBR parish? Not much. But you could go to their surrounding MSA to find good public options.

Where would you send your child and why?

Where do you live and how good are the public schools?

My only stip behind going Private is the kids that went to private when I was in school were all shite heads with rich parents

That's a very general picture of private school kids that you just painted.

Some may argue the education is the same.

And that would be a stupid argument in most cases in this state.

Depends where you live. I live in southern MS, went to public, and work at public schools doing IT work and coaching. Wouldnt send my kids anywhere else.

Now if we lived in nola, baton rouge, etc... aint no way my kids goin public lol

I went to private school K-10th grade and public 11 & 12. The education was fine at either place. Public school was certainly more of a general slice of humanity. This was in the suburbs in the early to mid 90s.

The magnet schools around here are an exception but the run of the mill public schools are trash now.

Depends where you live. I have had my kids in public but loved in a small town and the schools were fine and the closest private school was over 30 min away. Live in BR now and they go to private because I am not setting foot in a BR public school. We are not rich and my kids act like normal kids.

The education is NOT the same except maybe BR Magnet High School but that place is a liberal indoctrination camp.

What area are you talking about? That makes a huge difference when considering this question.

Hammond area.

You would be surprised what C & D student at a private school will get out of it. Even just the average kids. Kids who seek an education can get it in both the private and public systems. I believe the average kids can easily get lost in the public school system and that’s not the case at private schools. You are forced to learn in private schools. They really are “college prep” and they also give your kids a solid foundation for success in life. It also has a lot to do with where you live. Growing up in NOLA there wasn’t really any other options at the time. It’s a huge sacrifice for some parents but in my opinion it’s worth it if you can swing it. And private school is definitely not a bunch of rich kids.

I live in one of the best districts in the state….upper middle class and partially rural farmland. The schools have been fine for the most part.

In hindsight though I think private is the way to go if you can afford it. They run a tighter ship, most have some religious basis and aren’t forced to deal with the governmental crap that is pervasive wherever you are.
