INTRODUCTION

“Banyak anak banyak rezeki”

Do you ever heard this word? I am sure your answer is yes, you do. We often hear this word from our ancestor even our parents. They believe this word is true but in now days is this word still used?. There are two answers yes or no. People who answer yes cause of they still believe in their ancestor but for those who answer no cause they face the reality. Now days all things are expensive included education. Therefore, parents will find out the best school for their children according to their capability. In Indonesia, there are two kinds of education, public school and private school. We will know the differences between them but we must know the definition first.

Public schools get their financing from local, state, and federal government funds. While, Private schools rely on tuition payments and funds from nonpublic sources such as religious organizations, endowments, grants, and charitable donations. (Boland, Maureen). Based on this statement, I can conclude that Public School is covered by government while Private School is covered by their own institution.

After we know the definition, I believe you are more curious and want to know more about them since you will consider which one is match with your condition or desire. There are three differences between Public School and Private School which will be discussed in next chapter.

DISCUSSION

These differences consist of the strength and weaknesses. It becomes the consideration of parents to choose school for their children.

1.    Cost

The first difference is cost. In public school the cost is free especially for elementary and secondary except The Pioneering of International  Standard School and for senior high school in public school cost is cheaper than in private school. The Pioneering of International Standard School cost is expensive since they have obligation to give excellent service and facilities for their learning process.

While, private school, elementary, secondary or even senior high school cost usually is more expensive and above the average. It is caused by private school have their own vision and mission. They have obligation to fulfill facilities and services for students, same like public school but private school is still lack fund since there are some need that they must fulfill by themselves. Therefore, they need more fund to increase their services and facilities by asked high costs from each student.

2.     Facilities

Public and private school have difference also in serving  facilities. Private school serve better facilities than public school since they have more much money from their students while public school is covered by government.

Cost to serve facilities such as air conditioner, laptop, etc need much money. Public school can not serve it for their students while to ask extra cost to parents is forbid by the government. It differ from private school which have enough fund to serve high quality facilities for all students. These services are not only for inside the class but outside such as basketball stadium even school buses.

3.        Teacher Caring

Teacher i public and private school is similar, most of their minimal education background are S1 and some of them are S2 graduation. Care of teachers to students is the difference between those school.

The number of students in Public School is more than in Private School. In Public School, one room consist of 40 students while in Private School just consist of 20-30 students. The number of students is influencing towards teacher caring. In Public School usually they just remember the smartest students or the naughtiest students. While the rest students are less caring. (Sangdedi: 2010)

How about in Private School, they more pay attention to their students. It is caused by the ideal number of students, so teacher know more about most of their students not only the smartest students or the naughtiest students. Teacher can understand the characteristics of each student.

CONCLUSION

There are  two kinds of schools, Public and Private School. Public School is covered by government while Private School is covered by their own institution. Three are differences between Public and Private School which consist of their own strength and weaknesses. First, It is about cost, how the cost in Public School and Private School, the Public School is the cheaper one. Second, Private School serves better facilities than Public School. Third, it is the last point, teacher caring, Private School have better teacher caring than Public School. Those things become a consideration for parents to choose school for their children. Each parent has their own urge, they know which is the best for their children future.
