What are the disadvantages of the different types of educational systems?

Each kind of
educational system has its disadvantages.  Let us look at the disadvantages of four kinds of
schooling.  These are traditional public schools, private schools, home schooling, and online
schools.

There are generally said to be two major problems with public
schools.  First, many public schools are not of the best academic quality.  Any school that must
take all comers, regardless of educational or socioeconomic background, will have problems
providing an elite education.  Second, many parents feel that public schools lack the ability to
teach moral values.  Parents feel that they are too permissive in terms of the behaviors they
allow.  Relatedly, these schools will teach secular ideas, not religious ones, on such things as
evolution.

Therefore, many parents want to send children to private schools. 
The major problem with these schools is that they are expensive.  High end private schools cost
a tremendous amount of money.  Lower-end schools might not be able to pay high salaries to
teachers and might not have elite education any more than public schools do.

Some parents turn to home schooling.  Here, there are two main problems.  First, the
children lose the chance to socialize with a diverse group of their peers.  Second, it is not
easy to have a parent teaching children.  The parent may not have a good enough background in
all academic areas.  There are also familial tensions that can arise from having a parent also
be the teacher.

Finally, there are online schools, particularly at the high
school level.  The main problem here is that such schools will be very hard for students who are
not strongly motivated and who do not have excellent reading skills.  Students are not forced to
do work at a given time and must care enough to make the time.  They must get most of their
instruction through written materials.

Thus, each system has its own
problems.
