You Said It: Do You Prefer Public Or Private School Education?

Everyone's got opinions. Patch is the place to share them. With education being an ever-hot topic in Michigan, we're asking residents: Do you prefer public or private education?

Be it for religious reasons, safety concerns, program opportunities, cost or location, each and every parent has their own reason for choosing a private or public education for their child. Public schools serving Macomb Township are facing lower operating budgets and cutting costs (which often means programs) where they can. Most private schools in the area have a religious base and all have a tuition cost. With the 2011-12 school year looming ahead, Patch is asking parents: Do you prefer public or private school education? Each day Patch will share another response to the question, so check back. You can also join the conversation. Just log in to post a comment or video answer, or email jenny.whalen@patch.com
