What are the pro's and con's of children going to a public school than a private school and vice versa
I'm doing a paper for english over public school vs.private school and i'm trying to think what school would benefit the child more, such as going to a public school the child will meet different type of children rather than going to a private school where almost the children come from the same background.

One of the cons is that they have more rules to abide by (i.e. dress code, religious followings, etc) so when the students graduate they tend to be lost. That is why so many private school kids are so wild when they leave the private school setting. One of the pros is that the classes are usually smaller than a public school so you can have more personalized help.

The main difference is cost. Many public schools have just as good an education (or even better) than some private schools. Top private schools might have a better rep when it comes to getting into a college like Harvard or Yale, but the "old boy" white Christian superiority complex is fading.
Whether or not public school kids come from different backgrounds depends a lot on where you live. Most areas are still very segregated, because of home buyers' choices, income levels, and the (now hidden) discrimination in Real Estate sales and rentals.
Many minority people are rightly afraid to move into an all-white area because of hate crimes and discrimination. We've come a long way since 1964, but things are still far from equal.
