Education comment: now all to private schools?

more and more children go to private schools, meanwhile, there is every eleventh. And while there are always fewer schools in Germany, to constantly make new private schools: 5800 there are now, at the turn of the Millennium, there were only 3200. Fits to the data of the Federal Statistical office, a different number came up this week, this time by Forsa.

How well the teaching is how the teacher is involved, whether the AG is good, and the lunch tastes good, know the parents, if the child attends the school. Before that you collect as many clues as possible. While private schools are often better.
