Many parents have to make a decision in some point of their kid’s life. To send their kids to a public or private school.  I think many parents would want their kids to go to a private school but they can’t afford it.  Since public school is government funded, parents can send them there with very little expenses. This essay will show you the benefits of students learning different subject from a Christian viewpoint and how it can benefit them later on in life.

The education that is taught in both schools is somewhat the same, but public may teach some classes in a different view. Private schools teach that everything is made and put in place by God. Private schools also have Bible classes that teach and study God’s Word.

Private schools let you have a better teacher-student relationship.  Surveys say the public schools don’t have a good teacher-student relationship. That is because some of the students don’t care about their grades.  Some of the students in public schools don’t respect their teachers. So why should the teachers help them? Christian schoolteachers want their students to learn and do their best. Private school teachers want to spend time with their students to make sure they are getting what is being taught.

The discipline in these two different schools is completely different.  Public school students know they can get away with stuff so they do it anyway.  The students swear at each other.  They get into fights almost every day and faculty barely does anything about it.  At a Christian school, like ours, the students know if they do something wrong they will be punished. Most private schools have strict rules about what you can and cannot do. Also in a Christian school, students respect each other and the teachers.  Students in public school don’t respect each other or the teachers.  I shouldn’t say all the students don’t respect them because some treat their teachers with more respect than some Christian school kids.

Private schools get their students ready for college.  The teachers push their kids to do the best the can.  Public teachers care about their students but they can’t do as much when the students don’t care about their grades or if they are going to college.  I looked online and found that private schools average 1.25 better on their ACT tests than public school students.   That’s not much but it kind of proves that some private school students take school more seriously than public school students.

If you want to have your kid to get a good quality education while building there relationship in God I would send them to a private school.

The freshman class should take a field trip to tour Target Field.  It would be a great experience for all who came.  We would learn about the history and the player that have come through the Minnesota Twins and possibly meet some current members of the Twins and get some autographs.  We would get an insight on what all happened to build Target Field.

     Going to Target field for a day would give us a break from school.  We have been working hard all year, doing homework and studying for tests.  It’s about time we are rewarded with a small break from school.  It would only be for a day or possibly two days if the Twins played a day game the next day that we could watch.

     If you are a Twins freak like me, you should be agreeing with me on the field trip.  Target Field was just opened last March.  It’s a brand new field and would be awesome to go tour.  We would get to see the full insight of Target Field.  It would be a blast to get to see what the players get to use.  It would be the highlight of the school year, for me anyway.

     The cost wouldn’t be to tremendous. It is only twelve dollars for students and eight for kids.  We could pay are for share of it and possibly a little extra to pay for the bussing. If someone really wanted to go and didn’t have the money for it we could all chip in or maybe do a fundraiser. 

     Taking a field trip to Target Field would be a fantastic learning and fun experience for everyone. Some of the teachers could get a break too.  They could get to see the remarkable stadium and maybe see some of the Twin’s former players.  The students need a break as well because we are exhausted with schoolwork.  Studies show that the human brain can only handle so much without needing a rest.  And we are on the verge of loosing it!
