Public Education: Public School Vs. Public Schools

Education plays a significant role in every one’s future and lives; therefore parents have to ensure that their kids receive proper education. A majority of parents would turn to public school when it comes to education. However, other parents opt for an alternative to public schools, including private schools and home-schooling. Here’s the big question: Which one would be the best for my child? There is no universal answer or solution, for each option have their own distinctive pros and cons.
