One of the toughest decisions that you are going to face as a parent is where to send your children to school.

For several parents, the choice of where to send their children for education is easy due to a lack of options. Many parents have limited time or funds and are unable to even consider sending their children anywhere other than the local public school.

On the other hand, the majority of parents do have the opportunity to consider all available options when it comes to their child's education. If you are having a hard time deciding to send your child to private school or public school, then you have come to the right place. This book is full of information to help you with making this all-important decision.

To select the school that is ideal for your child, you will need to way all of the options that you have available to you realistically. It is important to take into consideration the cost of the school, the amount of time that must be invested by the parent, the social impact your child as well as the specific needs of your child and family.

In the old days, when a child was ready to begin kindergarten, there was a pretty good chance that he or she attended the public school that was just around the corner, or a church school right down the road. For parents back then, deciding which school to send their son or daughter to was an easy task.

The decision is not so simple these days. Education today is more of a compelling and complex topic of discussion across the nation. Questions come up every day in newspapers, homes, and political debates about teacher training, school quality, curriculum, and accountability.

For you as a parent, this means that to choose the best possible school for your child you are going to need to do a little homework of your own. One of the most important decisions that you make in your child's life is the school to which you send him or her. If you are going to make the right decision, then you must educate yourself by networking, researching, and doing whatever it takes to make sure you have a solid understanding of all of the options that are available for your child.

The distinction between private schools and public schools is not as forthright as they were at one time. In fact, in some cases, you may find that the local public school in your area is more suited for your son or daughter than a high-class private school with a nationwide reputation and an extortionate price tag. Even though research has been conducted that indicates that private schools often are superior to public schools when it comes to academic programs, this is not always the case.

The gap between private schools and public schools is growing narrower and narrower with each passing day. Despite the often negative press that public schools receive, it seems that they are getting better. Experts agree that if you are looking for a generally all-around good education, a high-quality public school may be the best option for your child.

However, at the same time, private schools may not be as unaffordable as you think. Take the time to conduct an adequate amount of research to determine all the options that are available to you. Do not rule out private school based solely on your financial situation. Shop around at several different schools and you may be pleasantly surprised.
