Home schooled versus Small school

A public or private school will give students a better social experience because of larger

classes and more chances to make friends. Catherine Clover, a student from North Muskegon

Public schools, has moved many times and has experienced both public school and home

school. “If your home schooled, you can’t go anywhere or make as many friends” says

Catherine. This explains why she enjoys the current public school she goes to now, it gives her

opportunities to make friends and have better social relationships for when she is an

adult(CatherineClover.PersonalInterview.5november2013). The average amount of public

school students, using 3 common public schools, in Muskegon County is about 1640 students

(greatschools.org.GreatSchools.30October2013). This means that these students have an

average class size, and they can easily make friends. Although if you prefer a smaller school

experience three common private schools in Muskegon County have an average amount of 76

students (privateschoolreveiw.org.30October2013). Sending your student to a private school

can give you smaller classes, thus giving them an easier environment to focus. To sum it up,

sending your child to a private or public school rather than home school will give your child a

better social life.
