There are a lot of wys of educaiton. Now, I will first define the word education. Education is the transmission of knowledge, skills, and character traits and manifests in various forms. Formal education occurs within a structured institutional framework, such as public schools, following a curriculum. Non-formal education also follows a structured approach but occurs outside the formal schooling system, while informal education entails unstructured learning through daily experiences. Formal and non-formal education are categorized into levels, including early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, and tertiary education. Some different kinds of education would be home school(learning at home), public school(free learning), private education(expensive). They all have their own features.
First, about public school. Public school may refer to:State school (known as a public school in many countries), a no-fee school, publicly funded and operated by the governmentPublic school (United Kingdom), certain elite fee-charging private schools in England and Wales Great Public Schools, independent non-government fee-charging (mainly boys') elite schools in New South Wales, Australia originally established on the basis of Christian denominations Public Schools Association, a group of seven independent boys' schools in Perth, Western Australia Associated Public Schools of Victoria, a group of eleven elite schools in Victoria, Australia Public school (India), a group of historically elite fee-charging privately owned and managed schools in India. Public schools are all held by the government, It is either free or very cheap to be in. It is really friendly to the middle class and poor people. It could give us basic education.
Public school is much more advanced. A private school is a school not administered or funded by the government, unlike a public school. Private schools (also known as 'independent schools') are schools that are not dependent upon national or local government to finance their financial endowment. Unless privately owned they typically have a board of governors and have a system of governance that ensures their independent operation. Those are the schools that are much more expensive. They are really expensive because they are helped by individuals. It could provide students a better education with less students. It is not as crowded as Public school, but it is really expensive.
Another kind is really different from the other 2. It is called homeschool. Compared to private school, it is much cheaper. Homeschooling or home schooling (American English), also known as home education or elective home education (EHE) (British English), is the education of school-aged children at home or a variety of places other than a school. Usually conducted by a parent, tutor, or online teacher, many homeschool families use less formal, more personalized and individualized methods of learning that are not always found in schools. The actual practice of homeschooling varies considerably. The spectrum ranges from highly structured forms based on traditional school lessons to more open, free forms such as unschooling, which is a lesson- and curriculum-free implementation of homeschooling. Some families who initially attended a school go through a deschool phase to break away from school habits and prepare for homeschooling. Homeschooling is cheap and can make students learn well, but students would lack the development of social skills.
Overall, I like private school better. My expectation to school is to have even smaller classes. This could give students a better sense of community. The class could also separate the students that has higher ability and lower ability easier, so students could all get a suitable way of education. My suggestion here would be to combine all those schools. Maybe we can set up more public schools, so it would not be so crowded and it is also really cheap. And we can have a time where students ask teachers about questions and stuff privately, this also gets the function of homeschool, which is to make students learn faster. And when we combine them all, we can get a cheap, not crowded, better learning school. This could benefit a lot of people. It can benefit the students a lot. It could also benefit the parents because they don’t need to worry about the student’s score or the money anymore. so, this is my suggestion here. It can have a perfect solution. But I believe it is really hard because the government doesn't have enough money. So they can’t set up so many public schools. Maybe a better way here would be that investors would invest more money on public schools instead of setting up their own private school. This is the solution I think would work
