What is the difference between a public school, private school, and a charter school?

Public schools are open to the public. They are most known for being funded by government. Anyone can enroll.

You do not pay to attend public school. A board of education usually determines what you learn/what you need to take to graduate. Private schools are not open to everyone.

Most likely you have to meet certain requirements to be admitted. Private schools can be associated with religious groups such as the Catholic Church. More often than not, you must pay to attend private schools.

The school administration determines what you need to take/classes to graduate. Charter schools are kind of... different. They are publicly funded, but it's requirements on graduation and curriculum are exclusive to that school.

They have a charter ( a list of rules to be met ) as part of their curriculum. I believe charter schools do not charge tuition. If a private school and a public school had a child- it would have a charter school ( a mix of both ).

Charter schools are another public option, but I wanted to clarify what the other answerer said (" In homeschool you can either use online public school (still public school option), homeschool through your local school district/superintendent, ") This is actually quite wrong. All online public schools or online private schools are just that -- public or private school. The fact that they are performed online does not make them "homeschool."

Homebound (taking schoolwork home from local district) is likewise NOT homeschooling. The advent of online schooling has caused a blurring in the minds of some about what homeschooling is. Legally, homeschooling is parent-directed education.

It is removed from the public school system. Homeschooling is family-based, parent-led, period. Those of us who homeschool are very protective of this definition.

The statistics on actual homeschoolers are, quite frankly, astounding in their demonstration of academic success. We do not want those statistics to be muddled with the lower scores of non-homeschoolers (online schoolers, etc). To find out about your local homeschool options, google for homeschool groups (they are everywhere).

They will be happy to tell you all about homeschooling and what are the legal requirements in your area.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
