First let me begin by saying that my entire life I was educated in a private school system. But for many years, I have been employed in the public school system. In terms of better teachers or higher pay, the private school teachers were drastically paid less. The public school receives funding from the government and the majority of our taxes actually go to them. If you teach in a large city, your paycheck will be substantially higher than if you teach in the outer suburbs. More people pay more taxes, therefore your school will be receiving more money. 

As for the quality of teachers, they are basically the same. I will say that the public school has more computers and have more updated books in their curriculum since they can afford them. The private school children that have transferred into our public schools are usually one year behind in their education. When it comes to safety, my daughter went to a private high school and in her first year there was a girl with a gun threatening to kill some other girl. The reason the gun went undetected is because private schools don't have the security or screening measures in place that a public school does. Public schools are often overcrowded and the teacher to child ratio is worse than in a private school. But it all comes down to the child. 

A child will succeed if a child wants to. Bottom line. In terms of education and teachers, a private school is no better than a public school. In the end, they all get the same diploma.

Most often it's NOT because of better teachers. In fact, most private school teachers get paid less than public school. What actually matters is the type of parent who send their kids to private school. How the parents raise their children matters most. The children are generally more well behaved, focus more on their studies, and overall better achievers because of the environment they've been put in.

That's not to say public school is bad, however it is highly affected by the surrounding area of the school. In many communities where there's a large working professional crowd, the difference between private and public is very slight. While others, generally those with lower household income, you'll see negative results.

I
have had involvement of both, spending from 11-16 at a non-public school and
16-18 at a state school. My involvement with the state school was fundamentally
superior to the one at the tuition based school. The environment in the
non-public school was one of lack of appreciation with understudies working
inspired by a paranoid fear of the instructors and not for their own advantages
or future, a considerable measure of the understudies were oblivious about what
cash implied and had innocent view of whatever is left of the world. (One
understudy trusted that Sweden had no instruction system http://www.EssayStar.co.uk ...Why, I
don't have the foggiest idea). They all depended on their folks. At the state
school I thought that it was fulfilling and by and large satisfying to be with
individuals who understood that by working you get some place in life. They
were so appreciative for everything, anxious to learn and fretted over their
instruction I learnt more over the most recent two years than in the initial 5
as the work ethos was such a great amount of better in the last school. This
isn't valid for all state and every single non-public school.
