Private schools provide a guaranteed immaculate environment for your children, siblings, nieces or nephews

Whether it would help develop kids skills via programs, or help kids grow in a safe and secure place

Plus, benefits of being a paid guardian also means your worries and thoughts are taken into consideration

It provides more and better things than anything a public school could give

  1. A trip to New York from Eskişehir
  2. Junior Programmers Club
  3. Permanent seat in Juniors Athletics Tourneys
  4. Background checks for every family and children
  5. Well Trained Teachers that promote individual growth
  6. Facilities for a Gym, an internet cafe, foreign language classes, student ran clubs and programs overseen by teachers

I don’t think I could handle sending anyone junior me into a less than guaranteed quality of public school when private schools are this much better

the best public school environments are in those which do not allow private schools. because funding matters.

As with all things in life: if you’re rich, you can get access to better things.

And, so, therein lies the problem with ‘everyone should just go to a private school’, unfortunately.

Rich people are badly out of touch. When I was in university there were some EXTREMELY wealthy young Indian women who couldn’t fathom that not everybody (indeed not most people) had maids. “So do your maids have maids?” <blank, uncomprehending stare>.

Being wealthy is legit, I think, a disease and sadly it’s not an infectious one. It operates in reverse from most destructive diseases.

I grew up surrounded by rich assholes people, and can anecdotally confirm that a lot of them, especially those born in it, live in a parallel world, so far removed from the average person’s lives that they just can’t relate, even if they try very hard. So few of them even seem able to (or want to?) realize how much of a kickstart they had in life just by being born in the right family, how much liberty they had having the opportunity to fail without ruining themselves.

We weren’t private jet rich, but still, we went on family trips more often than my friends, had a big house, parents had nice cars, we partook in expensive competitive sports such as golf/tennis/ski, etc… Despite having pretty grounded parents, who taught us very young about how unconventional our lives were, I still severely underestimated the value of money in this world. I had a rude awakening when I met my now wife, who grew up in a much poorer environment. I cut contact with pretty much everyone from my childhood neighborhood.

Around here, private schools “care” about your children’s education… Unless they have learning difficulties, then they don’t want to deal with them. Its harder to flout high average grades when you have less then stellar students, you see… The teachers are also the exact same (ever so slightly worse pay, but better work environment), coming from the same universities and having the same educational program to follow. It does tend to be easier to have facilities and fancy activities when you’re loaded from donations, rather than chronically underfunded by politicians who send their children to private schools.

Sooooo, the private school you went to in Turkey was better than public schools in the same area. That’s a lot different than saying private schools are better, full stop.

Public schools in my area have 2, 3, 5, and 6 for example, with options for equivalent trips to 1.

Tut tut, I would expect someone with a private school education to not make claims built on such specious reasoning

Well, they did say the educational aspects were the least important, so perhaps your expectations are a wee bit too high?
