Which type of school is better?

When it comes to where to send your child or children to school, this is often a decision that most parents will face twice, with primary school and secondary school both decisions that have to be made to make sure that your child gets the best education.
When it comes to making those educational choices, there are two main options and these are state school and private school, with the state school being paid for by the Government per child, but the private school needing funding from the parents or relatives per term, for the child to attend.
There have been many debates over the years about which type of school is better, but it often comes down to the school, rather than what type of school it is, which means that making sweeping statements about which is better is often not justified or realistic.
It is quite often true that private schools have a better teacher to pupil ratio, which means there are fewer students per teacher and that the classes are smaller, which has been proved to enhance and improve how much the child is able to learn during their lessons.

Information by having an informal discussion

When you get a phone call from your child’s school, saying that they might be struggling or having problems at the school, it can be very easy to get all heated up and immediately react by being upset, defensive or really panicky.
Rather than go through a million and one emotions unnecessarily, it is important that you keep a calm head and realise that the situation is not really about you, it is about your child, and therefore you have to deal with it in a rational, managed and mild mannered way.
The first step is to arrange an appointment with the school to go and see their teacher or head teacher without them, to try and understand what is happening or what has happened to warrant the phone call. Often the school will want to see you separately anyway, but after this meeting, they might want to see you and your child to discuss what is going on.
It is also really important to speak to your child and find out what is going on, without jumping to conclusions or pre-judging, because quite often you can find more information by having an informal discussion, than ranting and raving, desperately trying to find answers.
