What type of education do you think is the best for children; public, private, or homeschooling?
My wife and want to enroll our child into a school as we feel he is now of age to start schooling. But we are unable to decide on the kind of school we want him to attend. I don't know which school is the best nowadays, is it the public, private or we should just opt for homeschooling. Things as changed from when we went to school and we don't want to make the mistake of enrolling our child in a school that is not appropriate for him. I want to ask which option do you think is better?

I don’t think there is a certain type of education that is the best one. Every parent who puts their kid in a private school will say that it’s the best for their kids, and many homeschooling parents will say the same things. Public schools may not always be great, but they can be if the schools have the right teachers. It really comes down to which type of education is best for your child. Private schools tend to move a little bit faster in the curriculum and can be more challenging. Public schools can have faster moving and more challenging classes, especially in the higher grade levels, but there are a lot of kids there and it can be hard for the kids. Homeschooling can let your kids work at their own pace and focus on the things that really interest them, but it also can be hard for them to make friends their own age.
