Youth / OPINION : Public Versus Private Schools: ‘Great Things Come Out of Both’ : MANIJHA KADIR; Junior, 16, Rancho Cucamonga

If a person is determined to get the best education possible, he or she can do so successfully within the public school system. Most schools offer advanced placement classes that are monitored by the college board and provide college level work for high school students.

To use an old cliche, where there is a will, there is a way. If you’ve got the will to get the best education possible, then there is a way within the public schools. However, if you’ve got the money and you’re willing to experience high school with only a minority of the world’s people, then a private school is right for you.
