[stylist] Children and learning

[LoriStay at aol.com]

It's off topic, I know.
But here are my thoughts;   I've been to public school and I've been to 
private school, and Private is better.   Why?   The classes are smaller, and the 
children get more individual attention.
Children home schooled are far ahead of those who attend classes with other 
children in terms of scholastic achievement.   Why?   Again, individual 
attention.   If the child has a question, he can ask it, and the teacher won't say, 
"You're sixth in line to ask a question, and oh, there's the bell so forget 
it."
