My Journey Through Public and Private Schools: The Lessons Learned
Hello, Hive Learners community! I'm delighted to finally pen down my thoughts here, after a long time of reading and curating amazing content from this Hive Learners community through my account and @mcgi.cares. 😄
Today, I am excited to discuss a subject that holds a special place in my heart - the comparison between public and private education. My schooling journey offered me a distinct chance to explore both these realms. It began in a public school during my elementary years and later transitioned to a private high school.
My early academic life unfolded in the bustling classrooms of a public school in the Philippines. Each class teemed with a crowd of 50 to 60 students, a striking testament to the massive responsibility our teachers shouldered. They were tasked with imparting quality education to such an enormous crowd of eager learners.
As I entered high school, I stepped into a drastically different learning environment in a private institution. The contrast was unmistakable, marked by superior educational standards and a higher level of understanding. There were hurdles, no doubt, especially adapting to this new setting. Yet, I found this part of my academic journey immensely fulfilling and enriching.
Indeed, every beautiful horizon has its storm clouds. I recall the persistent issue of bullying during my public school days, a narrative that sadly resonates with too many young students' experiences. It was a harsh lesson in the crucial need for safe, nurturing environments in all schools especially in public schools.
Given a chance that every child should be within reach of quality education, regardless of their financial background. In my perspective, public schools need to impose a ceiling on the number of students in each classroom to bolster educational quality. Concurrently, private schools should endeavor to make their services more affordable, extending their resources to a wider demographic.
To the parents still thinking about the choice between public and private schools, I'd suggest this: if your situation permits, place your child's education at the forefront. The years of education might feel endless, but they're fleeting, and the knowledge and skills your child will garner during this period will endure throughout their life.
Just like my life, my journey through the education system was laced with hurdles. I hail from a broken family, with my parents parting ways when I was a mere three years old. My mother relocated overseas going Japan to provide for our needs, and we braved many hardships. Yet, these experiences have sculpted me into who I am today, instilling in me resilience, tenacity, and an insatiable quest for knowledge.
After all, education is not merely about textbooks and tests. It's a voyage of personal growth, discovery, and self-understanding. It endows us not just with scholastic knowledge, but also the skills and values essential to navigate life's journey. So, here's to all the students, parents, and educators who are part of this remarkable journey. Let's persist in our quest for knowledge, personal growth, and making a difference, one step at a time.

Yes, I also agree to You. I also think that there is a huge contrast between private and public schools as according to my thinking, teachers pay their full attention in private sector but don't pay attention as much as they do in other. Private schools offers high level of understanding and high challenges so students can compete but public schools don't pay any heed towards that. May be You don't agree with me but its just my point of view which I saw in my society.
Thank you for sharing your perspective @qwr!
It's interesting to hear diverse views on this topic. The contrast between private and public schools can indeed vary significantly, often depending on the location and resources available.
Great to see you always commenting on our post @qwr

Private schools are really nice but their charges are very high like you said, in some places, private schools are considered to be schools for the rich alone. Most people would love to enroll their kids with them but they really don't have what it takes. Talking about quality education, privates schools are the best in that aspect.
Nevertheless public schools are also good, though they have limited learning facilities. I love the advice you gave on ceiling, most government schools don't have good learning environments, I think it would be good if the government put that into consideration.
Lastly, whether private school or government school, the destiny of everyone is in the hands of the Lord and not even teachers, we would become what God ordained regardless our backgrounds.
It's nice to see you here sir❤️🥰
Hello @emreal, thank you for your thoughtful comment. I absolutely agree that both private and public schools have their merits and challenges. While affordability can be an issue in private schools, public schools may struggle with overcrowded classrooms and limited resources.
However, as you rightly said, each individual's destiny is ultimately in the hands of the Lord. Let's continue to advocate for improved learning environments in all schools.
Appreciate your kind words brother @emreal
You are welcome sir❤️🥰
hahaha sorry, I focused on the photos you shared. I like this photo
I googled it :))
I always studied in a public school, as did my husband, and in the 90s and early 2000s public education was good in Brazil, however, nowadays we can no longer say the same, and for this reason, my daughter that started her studies this year, begun in a private school. Without a doubt, we put her health and education first, even if doing so in Brazil means spending a lot of money. Thanks for sharing your story and reminding me I'm doing the right thing.
Hello @aiuna, I appreciate that you shared your personal experience, tt's evident that you prioritize your daughter's education and well-being, which is commendable.
Educational landscapes change over time and it's important to make decisions based on the current state of affairs. Your choice shows your dedication to providing the best for your daughter.
May God bless you @aiuna
I had my education through the public school and I can attest to the level of bullying that goes on there coupled with the massive population, yet parents still enroll their kids over there due to its affordability. If only private schools can slash dow their prices, then some parents may afford the fees
However wherever anyone finds himself or herself,the best we can do is to utilise the opportunity positively.
Nice reading from you today
Man, bullying is like a culture but glad even after studying in public schools never got bullied (nah, I was not a bully). Got lucky I guess coz there are cases like that but both in private and public.
Totally agree... All hurdles, hardships or such events just makes you strong, better person!
Awesome one mate!
