Hi there, I’m Jax. Welcome to my site about K-12 educational materials and supplies. When I was attending school, the books were easily decades old at the newest. The books often had outdated information the teachers had to correct during the lesson. My teachers would print handouts that explained why the information was no longer relevant. I want to prevent this issue by sharing information about finding the right supplies, including books, for the classroom without breaking the bank. I will talk about using innovative online learning materials in lieu of actual textbooks for certain subjects. Hopefully this information can help children learn more effectively.

3 Benefits Of Private School
Ava Robertson
Choosing between private and public schools is a dilemma that many parents find themselves in once their children become school aged. There are plenty of benefits to each choice, but there are also plenty of drawbacks. One thing that discourages many parents from choosing private schools is the cost. The national average yearly tuition for a private school is just over $10,000. However, there are plenty of situations where the cost may be worth it. There are also options such as scholarships and grants that can help offset the cost. Here are three benefits of private school.
Location
One issue that many parents have is that the public schools in their area are located in an area that is not easily accessible. Traffic, being far from a workplace, and other issues can make getting a child to and from school a big hassle. Parents in this situation may find that there are private schools located in more convenient areas. One of the main benefits of private schools is that parents do not have to deal with school districts. Finding a school that's in a location that works for them is far easier when school districts do not play a role.
Smaller Class Sizes
Another benefit of private schools are that the class sizes tend to be smaller. This means that students are given more individual attention than they would receive in many public schools. Private schools often have class sizes that average between 15 and 20 students. Public schools in some areas can have much larger class sizes. Parents who want their children to have smaller class sizes may find that private schools in their area are more likely to offer this.
Students More Likely To Be College Bound
There are plenty of academic benefits to private schools other than just smaller class sizes. Private schools are able to offer different and more specialized curriculum than public schools. In many cases the main focus is to make students college ready. Private schools can also offer a larger range of subjects for students to learn since they are less hindered by state guidelines. Around 95 percent of non-parochial private high school graduates go to a four year college, compared to 49 percent of public school graduates.
Public versus private school is a decision that many parents have to make when choosing a school for their children. There are plenty of benefits to both. However, private schools are not bound by school districts. This can mean parents are able to find a private school in a much more convenient location than the surrounding public schools. Private schools also offer smaller class sizes and are more likely to produce college bound graduates.
