WRITING IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE
“Children are the future”. We hear this quote very quite often, but how much truth do you think really lies behind it? Literally speaking, children of today are, in fact, going to be adults of tomorrow; and with that being said, this quote is true indeed. However, the main question that needs to be asked is, how can we set children up today to make the future a brighter place? Well, aside from home training and values that are taught domestically, education serves as a very important factor that guarantees a brighter future. That means that the type of educational institutions we decide to send our children to must be very carefully selected and thought through thoroughly, with the prospective future in mind. What I want to know is, what better way to educate our children of today than giving them the opportunity to receive private schooling? Because private schooling provides a prestigious education that imposes beneficial values in an equal and small setting that promotes more focus on academics and attention to the students, Private schooling is definitely the way to go.
Private schooling is a school system that is not administered by local, state, or national government funding. They choose their students carefully, as opposed to public schools where the student selecting system is less lenient and is based on the child’s zoned address. Instead of government funding, private schools rely solely on tuition to uphold the school, which can be lessened through scholarships and awards based on the student’s community, academic, or athletic achievements. The requirements of sending your child to a private school only includes being willing for your child to receive a prestigious education and also being willing to pay the well worth it cost.
Our nation is blessed with a rich diversity of private schools – some rooted in religious traditions, some that provide intensive academic
