//What kind of problems can occur among the students at the different schools //
 * //﻿ //**

Public schools and private schools have both negative and positive aspects. The school is a big part of children's everyday life, and the environment they are exposed to affect them. I am going to elaborate the different problems that can occur among the students in each school.

We are all aware of the fact that public schools are the schools with most students. This also means that it is many different cultures, religions, stiles and types put together into one group and that is often a solid troublemaker.

Most public schools do not require the students to wear school uniforms, but private schools often does. School uniforms has both positive and negative aspects. For example, everyone is dressed the same, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. This way, there won't be any bullying or teasing over the students level of clothing. President Clinton supported the issue of school uniforms, and this is what he said in his State of the Union speech, 1996: "If it means teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms." (3) The negative side of school uniforms is that the students won't be able to use their own clothes or show of their own sense of style. This can be hard for those who puts a lot of personality into the way they dress and find this very important.

Private school don't have to accept students with special needs, and many choose not to. (1) That is generally a problem for those who want's to go to a private school, but aren't accepted because of their needs.

In private schools there are approximately 12 - 15 students in each class, and in classes at public schools there are about 25-27 students each class. (2) These numbers got a big difference between them, and it's obvious that the students that participate in the small classes gets more attention and follow-up than the once in large classes.

The rules and consequences are often significantly stricter at private schools. This can affect the children both negative and positive.
