Conclusion: we should spend money on
our children’s ed.
Everyone knows that private schools are
expensive and some of them are incredibly costly. In this article, we will try
to analyse the advantages that private schools have over state ones. Our
reporter Pepe García explains why.
Independent or private schools have a
wide variety of resources that state schools don’t have. For example, they have
a wider choice of subjects, better bilingual projects…
The discipline is considered more
important by both teachers and students.
Respect to the teachers
The variety of sports
The methodology… They can promote competition
better.
They have, however, some disadvantages.
Some children are bullied just because they don’t wear the trendy clothes or
their families can’t spend a lot of money on designer clothes.
They don’t create an atmosphere of
equality.
We all know of cases where parents have
paid some money for a certificate, because their children weren’t doing well at
school.
In a word, we should give a great deal
of importance to our children’s education and I think we shouldn’t be mean in
this respect. We parents have to make an effort to be able to afford a good
future for our next generations. What do you think?
