Recommended: Private vs public school

I had never attended a Catholic school. I would go to mass on Sundays and school on weekdays and that worked for me. For my choice of high school, I could continue to attend my private school or attend Arizona’s only Jesuit school, Brophy College Preparatory. I made my decision to attend Brophy because of its reputation and my private school’s high school program was just too new.

When I went to Brophy I was shocked. Everyone was willing to help their fellow man and the social work we did was meaningful. Sometimes I had trouble in Physics and my teacher had gone home, however, there was always another student that could help me solve a problem. During my summers of 2014 and 2013, I had the chance to advanced my required community

  • The Pros And Cons Of Brooklyn College

    94 Words  | 1 Pages

    Brooklyn College is considered a “poor man’s Harvard”. It’s neither glamorous nor prestigious, it’s cheap and sustainable. Brooklyn College’s campus has well-kempt gardens, competent technology departments, a gym, a pool, a full-size basketball court– and it’s within walking distance of my neighborhood. Students can work jobs, have a life, and still make time for a college education. It feels like an upscale community college, but I think the community makes Brooklyn College a true New York experience. For students unwilling to move far away, going to Brooklyn College is a sensible use of

    However, while the “perfect childhood” is often viewed as having both parents at home, going to private school, and staying out of trouble, it does not always produce successful adults. Academically, attending a private or college preparatory high school provides an advantage. From grade 10 to graduate school, private school students fare better academically than their peers in public schools (Brean). With smaller class sizes and higher paid teachers, it is widely known and fairly consistent throughout all research that private school provides a superior learning environment to public schools. Simply stated, children who go to private school are more likely to be successful academically than their public school counterparts. Additionally, children raised by single mothers are more likely to fare worse on a number of dimensions, including their school achievement (Sawhill). Based on these two evidence backed statements, it can be inferred that the optimal situation for child’s educational development would be in a private school with two parents at home. However, these statistics do not only apply to childhood. School success is a major factor in college admissions, and transitively career options later in life. In Mystic River, Sean Devine, therefore, has it all: “Sean had been accepted to Latin School, and would begin seventh grade there in

    One of the most important facets of the school choice system to understand is the involvement of religion in private schools. Approximately eighty-percent of private schools in the United States are religiously affiliated. The most popular type of private school, based on religion, is private schools that operate under the religion of Catholicism (CAPE, 2011). Though private schools are less popular than public schools in the United States it is important to understand all the factors that go into both the private and public schools.

  • Attending Early College High School Analysis

    Attending Early College High School has changed the way I feel about education because now I prioritize my academics. I don’t let any barriers in my life interfere with my academics. At ECHS, I have not faced many difficulties, but one difficult challenge was when I got a terrible grade in my AP Biology class. I was devastated to see that on my progress report card I had a D+. I had never had such a low grade in any class. Many thoughts were running in my head, including the thought that I was never going to make it into college because of that grade. I tried extremely hard to raise my grade, but I could not focus on school because my grandfather had just passed away and my family was facing a very difficult time. Memories came flashing in

  • The Reshaping Of America Analysis

    Julie B. Cullen, Brian A. Jacob, and Steven D. Levitt in their article “The impact of school choice on student outcomes: an analysis of the Chicago Public Schools,” go over the research they have done to show the differences between the outcomes from school choice and public schools. These authors illustrate the failure of public schools by showing that students are “7.6 [percent] more likely to graduate” when they do not attend their neighborhood public school (730). This quote can also serve as evidence to Cahn and Cahn’s argument that public schools need to change their teaching style because they are decreasing the chances of their student’s success. In an article by The Cardinal Newman Society, Cullen’s et al main idea is extended by comparing public schools to, in this case, catholic schools. The article shows that with a “99 percent” graduation rate and “84 percent [students] going on to four-year colleges” they almost double the rates shown by public schools. Although The Cardinal Newman Society are definitely biased towards catholic schools this still shows how there are many alternatives to public school that show outstanding

    I realize that I didn't get the real in-depth experience that was envisioned for this assignment but I did find what I saw really interesting. I know that just four short years ago they didn't have the buddy program at that school. And they still have nothing at my old Catholic high school. After learning more about the benefits of inclusion during the semester, it was encouraging to see that those benefits were being experienced by students from my hometown, if not my alma-mater. I wonder how my knowledge and perceptions of the handicapped would be different if there had been programs like that when I was in high school. At least I can rest assure that future students at SHS will not go through school as ignorant about handicapped students as I did.

  • Summary On Dare The School Build A New Social Order

    808 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book, Dare The School Build a New Social Order by George Counts, is an examination of teachers, the Progressive Education Movement, democracy and his idea on how to reform the American economy. The book is divided into 5 different sections. The first section is all about the Progressive Education Movement. Through this, George Counts points out many downsides and weaknesses of this ideal. He also talks about how he wants teachers to lead society instead of following it. In the second section, he examines 10 widespread fallacies. These fallacies were that man is born free, that children are born free, they live in a separate world of their own, education remains unchanged, education should have no bias, the object of education is to produce professors, school is an all-powerful educational agency, ignorance rather than knowledge is the way of wisdom, and education is made to prepare an individual for social change.
