SOME PARENTS may choose to give their children the benefits of private schooling. While they have tuition costs that public schools don’t, private schools typically challenge the student to a higher level of academic achievement through a higher quality of work, a more rigorous workload and special requirements like community service or participation in the arts. Often half the size of public schools, private schools allow students to form close ties with their teachers and classmates as well as participate more frequently in group discussions. Private institutions also place a special emphasis on discipline, self-control and parental participation.
