Teachers weigh in: differences between public/private schools

I am a public school teacher in Canada, and from what I read about ultra rich people like politicians, CEOs, and celebrities - many opt to send their children to calm, play based schools that eschew the use of technology in the classroom. This is in stark contrast to the tech-noisy, overcrowded, underfunded, rigid public school system that I am familiar with. For my own personal and professional interest, I would like to know what differences you see between public and private schools where you live, especially in regards to: socialization, the use (and forceful push) of tech in classrooms, behavioral expectations, academic expectations, and general school atmosphere (I know Waldorf color codes classrooms and encourages the furnishing of classrooms with plants and such). You can pick apart my post and find ways to attack me or the way I phrased my question - but please, I am looking for differences, both good AND bad. If your public school is incredibly rigorous, peaceful, high-performing, and mind blowing - that is awesome. However, I am lookin for broad strokes differences between "most" public schools and "most" private schools. I am fully aware that both sides have standout schools and shit schools. submitted by /u/Many_Definition_334 [link] [comments]
