What to expect when boarding at a private school?
I am planning on boarding at a private school. I like the idea of sleeping at school because I wont have to worry about being late. I would like to know what to expect in terms of freedom, getting to see my family, waking up for school, and the advantages of being a boarding student.
freedom:
not a lot. there are lots of rules about curfew, over-night permissions, etc. they watch over you like a hawk so they know you are safe and sound. but most schools allow you to do whatever you want in your freetime, including going into the nearby town.
getting to see your family:
it depends on how far you live but most kids see their family every month through holidays, long weekend, parents weekend, college info weekend, etc. internationals go home about 3 times a year
waking up for school: i wake up an hour before class but i know some boys roll out of bed 10 minutes before class and still make it. (but smell bad)
advantages of being a boarding student:
the experience of having a roommate, dormmates, making the closest friends you have ever had. for boys it means x50 the number of video games, etc and for girls it means x100 more dresses, shoes, jewelry you can borrow haha
you also dont have to spend time commuting to and from home so you can sleep instead
expect to become a procrastinator and an awesome BS-er

Can my pubic school pay for my transfer to private school?
I am currently in a public high school (sophomore) and am being bullied and threatened on a daily basis. The school has done all they can, but it doesn’t stop. There is a Catholic High School a few towns away, but it’s private and there’s a tuition. Is my public school liable to pay the tuition for my transfer?
i know what you mean. i was bullied as a junior in hs. (i now go to a catholic high school). unfortunately, you can’t expect the public school to pay for you to transfer. because the public school you currently go to is the closest one to your house, you probably don’t have much of a choice and you would be 100% responsible for your tuition, not your current school. if the bullying hasn’t stopped, could you bring the issue up with the school board for your school district? i would recommend transferring anyway. i know my catholic school is very kind to transfer students and if money is a problem for your family, i’m sure the school would be more than happy to negotiate a more reasonable payment plan for your tuition. i hope this helps and best of luck!
Bloomberg’s Lorin Discusses Private Schools in New York: Video
Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) — Bloomberg’s Janet Frankston Lorin talks with Bloomberg’s Mark Crumpton about getting into New York City private elementary schools.
Anxiety over the recession is trumping the angst of New York City parents to get their children into elite private schools. Fewer children took entrance exams for private elementary schools, continuing a decline that began last year, as the economy hurt parents ability to pay annual tuition of more than $30,000.

if I send a child to private school can I get a state funds to pay for some of the tuition?
We are in minnesota. If we choose to not use pulbic school and send a child to private school (not a charter school, an actual school) can we get a credit from the state?
i:
In Minnesota, no, but there are states that provide educational voucher programs.
There have been occasional efforts to create a voucher system in your state, but none of those attempts have been successful. If you’d like to read about the status of educational vouchers in Minnesota, you’ll find an excellent article here: http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/issues/voucher.asp
You can, however, take an income tax deduction on your Minnesota state taxes. Taxpayers can deduct up to $1625 for primary schools and up to $2500 for students in middle or high schools. A $2500 tax deduction would decrease your taxes by about $176.25 a year.
Minnesota also offers a refundable education tax credit – a taxpayer can not claim a credit for tuition paid to non-public schools, but can take the credit for other qualified educational expenses including textbooks and transportation costs. You can find information on Minnesota’s tax treatment of educational expenses here: http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/pubs/educcred.pdf
So – no state help with your tuition or other expenses, but you can save a bit of money on your taxes if you qualify.
Good luck!

What are the differences between a private and a public school?
Does a child learn more things in a private school than they would at a public school?
well i know private schools teach at a faster pace. for example a 6th grader at a private school will be a bit more ahead of the 6th grader in public school.
my daughter is in kindergarten in public school and she is learning to write in print..
my friends son is kindergarten in private school and learning to write in script.
