Very true. Some are subpar on education. And some many not be as Biblically sound as they should be. Ask lots of questions and try to talk to other parents that have first hand experience.
@@a33m3a Yes, it's totally how you approach it. I send mine to Christian school, but it's still mainly my job to teach them. I'm just relieved I don't have teachers or administration undermining what I'm teaching them at home and they really respect the parents' authority over their children here.
@@a33m3a what we have seen in recent months is that parents don't want schools raising kids but they do so secretly against parents wishes. Complain? FBI will visit you.
Who your child sits BESIDE in school is just as important as who is at the front of the room TEACHING. Our oldest went to public and our youngest was put in private school in the 7th grade. This was a very well respected private school and the difference between the two was AMAZING. But, that's OUR school system. Not to bash all systems, as there are some great public schools out there doing great work. Parents have to evaluate their current situation and decide for themselves.
Good way to put it. For example, I went to a private school all through elementary and middle school... it was quite frankly terrible, demotivating, and multiple staff had unjustified disrespect for me. It was a terrible experience. Public highschool is much better.
The ironic thing is that the better neighborhood that you live in(wealthy) the less that you need to send your kids to private school. So poor people who need private schooling the most for their kids are the ones that can’t afford it.
Agreed. I met a family who took their kids out of catholic school and bussed them to our small-town district and she felt that it was a better environment in every way. I’m thankful that we have a close-knit and strict district with Christian values.
My daughter goes to private school and it was the best decision we made for her. Safety was one of the main reasons we decided to put her in private school
You are promoting class segregation and are merely wrapping her in bubble wrap, instead of having her learn how to navigate becoming an adult. Weak minded adults raise weak minded children
I pulled my kid out of public in 2017 for a private Christian school. Best decision ever. Tuition is reasonable and also worth the sacrifice. She is now a high school sophomore at a Christian hs.
@@isaacpeelrocks Not for our family. My daughter has a close circle of friends that she has had since middle school. She also has another set of friends from her martial arts dojo.
@@isaacpeelrocks What research is this based on? I went to a private catholic school. I am married, with kids, in a great job with a lot of friends. I am far from socially inept.
@Isaac Peel Are you still peddling the lie that a child must go to a public school in order to be socially well adjusted? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't recall any of these mass shootings in schools happening at a private one.
I was in private school until third grade, and then transitioned to public school until I graduated. I had no faith based resources to help me through my problems as a teen and was exposed to drugs and violence daily. The school I went to did not deal with bullying. And the district is one of the top 10 in Ohio. So, at this point I am torn between homeschool and private school for my kids. We’ve been homeschooling but my oldest wants to go to “school”. The cost of me staying at home with them vs the cost of tuition is something we need to consider. If I’m at home teaching them, I’m not working. And if I am working, I have to pay someone to watch them while I’m away. We no longer live in a world where single income families actually thrive and can totally avoid debt unless the provider is making a lot of money. Parents are in a difficult situation and I don’t think Ramsey realizes how bad the public schools have gotten. It was bad in the early 2000s when I was in school, now it’s even worse.
Sent my kids to privates schools from grade school to college. Both are professionals and making six figures now. No bullying or psychos as classmates. Best investments we ever made.
I personally experienced & witnessed the most bullying at private christian school for not having as much money as other students families. I'm glad to hear it isn't like that at all of them.
I went to a public school my whole life in South L.A and survive kept the faith but it was tough. The schools are getting worst and worst. I knew before my kids were born I wanted them to have a God center education and that's what I did. I work hard and I'm able to afford the school where I send my son. He also goes to visit grandmother in South L.A so he is street smart too and knows the locals that know me growing up. Teaching them the fear of God, respect, discipline academically is worth it. I as a parent I'm very involved I check his homework and support him in the area he needs support. I will not give up on my kids.
I went to a crappy public school as a kid: it was overflowing with gangs, poor academics, chaos, fights, future inmates, future wife beaters, etc. Private school is better. That is just a fact
I will add one option to this. Consider home schooling if your not satisfied with the public education. When our, now grown children, were school age we started then in private school. It was defiantly better than public but as Dave indicated there is still goin to be some of the same issues as in public education. After researching we decided my wife would stay home and we would home school. That was one of the best decisions we ever made. If you go this route talk to other that are currently doing it and make the change at the beginning of a school year.
I remember moving to the ghetto in Alabama going to high school the first day with everybody having to have clear backpacks and go through metal detectors and less than a week later I was put in a private catholic school and honestly I'm glad my parents sacrificed to make my education and honestly my surroundings much better
I went to Catholic schools in Alabama from kindergarten through high school. For tuition, you can choose a flat rate or a percentage of your income. The Catholic school I attended in the 70s had the same racial percentages as our city. Some students paid nothing. It just depends. Catholic schools in Mobile Alabama at that time were very accommodating. @sexyandiknowit45
in regards to the comments, i don't think this is a matter of how much money kids will make as adults, rather the morals and values taught at the private Christian school vs public.
Morals and values are taught at home. I went to public schools all my life and encountering opinions that were different from mine made me more empathetic and tolerant and in no way shook my fundamental beliefs. If you raise your children in a stable home with morals, values, reason and logic you have nothing to worry about.
i absolutely agree, however what may be amiss are the ongoing, and evermore deviations from morality within the educations of public school lessons. Like that one video of the teacher taking the US flag down and putting in its place the pride flag, then having students pledge allegiance to that. That's a bit of an extreme and rare case, but do you see why some folks may be worried about their kids education?
To be honest 3700 for a private institution doesn't sound like a bad deal. I went to a public school and it wasn't that great. But that might just be my locality.
My wife is a school teacher and most of the teachers are awesome! The trouble is the material they are supposed to teach is ridiculous. This year my wife basically has to read out of a book the whole time instead of having an actual original thought of her own to teach.
Not worth it, parents sent me and my sister to Catholic school and I wish they didn't, if they invested that money instead they'd probably be retired now or have a paid off house, instead it stretched them thin and they ended up losing their house in the 08 crash, and we had to be moved to public school. I appreciate them for trying but we learned the same in public school. Just teach your kids right from wrong. Don't shield them from diversity and debates. The real world doesn't exist in a bubble.
I see your point but without a foundation you are in danger of throwing your kids to the wolves. Of course different kids are in different situations with different outcomes. I just go by the quote "if you send your kids to Caeser, don't be shocked when they come back Romans."
Why not have her stay home and homeschool? Do whatever it takes to get them out of public school. You will never regret it. Obviously you see what school is doing to your children. Why are you calling Dave and letting him decide what you need to go to the Lord and ask him yourself? Those are your kids, not Dave's and he won't have any regrets no matter what advice he gives you.
Homeschool is not for everyone. Not all families can afford to have someone stay home. Not all women want to stay home with kids. Plus teaching is a skill that not everyone has, especially not in every subject.
If you want your kids to learn anything of value send them to a good school. What they’re trying to teach kids in some schools is getting a little spooky.
@@toddseales8222 anything is believable, again with children being told lies. What i care about is what can be shown to be true, and nothing in the Genesis account of the creation of the world is accurate to what we can see in real life. Unless you have evidence of creation or the great deluge that in denying it would be more absurd to reject the idea then accept it.
This is what we did. I taught high school science in California. Quit teaching and stayed home when our first child was born. Instead of going back to teaching public school I am still home and now homeschooling our children. We use Abeka Academy. It's very affordable and I love the curriculum.
Where a child goes to school matters more than any other financial decision a parent can make. So much that parents sacrifice income to homeschool if there are no other options. Find the best school choice for your child, and make it work.
Kinda wild because these are the same parents who don’t volunteer for school events. Take accountability and understand you are not helping your community by creating a villain of the public school system
Private school is worth it. If you live in an area where the public schools are brain washing your kids on CRT I believe it's worth the change. My kids did private and we do not regret it. They turned out to be pretty great adults, love the Lord and are making good choices.
@@DeepDeepSpace I learned very little in first 12 grade. Only when in college is when teaching begin. So I somehow believed teacher have too much benefits. Even in this case, she can go to different nearby school district if the school didn’t appreciate her talents but I’m not sure if she have. 10 years with that low pay is a concerning hints.
I agree with homeschool. Can’t imagine entrusting the most critical years of my child’s life to a complete stranger whose moral standards may spill over into influence and a system that answers to money above actual education
@@perotal with the way many parents have acted during this pandemic, and with the lack of critical thinking skills in many parents, homeschooling may breed clueless, skill-less children. How sad!
@@greasyboy349 the scores are atrocious, some schools are more focused on wokeism than reading and writing, and their discipline and policy protocols leads to mentally ill and criminals sharing the building with your kids.
I went to private school K-8. My mom wanted to send me to private school for high school. I begged her to go to the public high school. She eventually agreed and it was one of the best things that happen to me. I’m sure there are some really good private schools but not many. I proudly send my own kids to public school. To each their own though.
People like this caller are looking to shield their children from ever encountering anything that will challenge their beliefs. But in the practical sense private schools make no sense to me. My husband went to one of the top prep schools in the state (and it was a religious school), I went to a "ghetto" high school (as he jokes). We both went to the same university (where we met) and both became engineers. Even graduated college with similar GPA. Is all in the parenting. In his very exclusive prep school my husband encountered more drugs and alcohol that I ever saw.
Some of the people replying to Demetri`s comment ignoring the main point he made. He said "unless the school is awful". My son goes to a public high school in Texas that is 100% magnet school focusing on STEM, and it is awesome.
Wow it really doesn’t matter if a kid goes to public or private. Every kid smokes and drinks for their first time behind their parents. I went to public school in Los Angeles and now I’m a chemical engineer. School system doesn’t matter. It’s the way a parent raises their kids. A lot of parents are quick to blame a school rather than their inept parenting. Everyone has seen that kid that’s always causing trouble and when you see the parents it’s an exact replica of the child.
Both students and parents should stop blaming the school system and start fixing their own behaviors for sure. Parents especially, but if the student is old enough, then yeah, they should be responsible for their own behaviors as well
Agree 100%. I also went to public school, was an honors student, went on to get my Masters Degree. It’s 100% the education at home, teaching your children to be rational, critical thinkers and problem solvers. It’s not up to the school system to form and educate your child.
When I was researching public vs private schools here on TH-cam my algorithm became full of why I quit teaching videos. These were all from public school teachers mentioning they quit because of kids behavior issues and admin. I chose to send my kids to Catholic school right before they started I met a lady at a kids rosary meeting who asked me what school my two kids would be attending. Turns out same school her granddaughters were going to. She said she was a retired public school teacher and that in the 90s they started discussing not being able to send black kids to safe which is kind of like detention during school hours because it looked bad for the schools image that all the kids in safe were black. That’s just it you can’t be concerned more about the schools image rather than the students well being.
I usually agree with Ramsey, but this one seems to be all about money for him. Let’s say this, in a capitalist country like US everyone can afford a private school (and those who truly can’t, will qualify for a discount or a financial aid). It’s all about priorities. And in times like this, saving the next generation IS and should be a priority.
We cant even save the current generation, or the ones before. Social Security is a mess, may not even exist in the next few decades. Healthcare in US is atrocious, if you get sick it can easily cost 100’s of thousands of dollars, leaving you and your kids nothing. Banks CD rates are literally as low as 0.20% you cannot save money in the US and have it stay with inflation. I wish CD’s would go back up to 6-8%.
Not true, because you don’t make that argument when it comes to universal healthcare and universal housing tho…. I swear republicans only wanna be conservative when it fits their narrative 💀💀
@@matthewgardner2144 Yeah on the one hand, he told her to stay put because her salary would be cut $15k a year, but then tells her don''t hang on for just a few more months to earn a lifetime pension? Even if was only a few thousand bucks a year, that could add up to a lot in retirement.
@@annat6249 Well she is not being forced to teach lies. So already better than 95% of teachers in my area. They just go along with curriculum they are given. Hopefully this isn't the case in your area!

FYSA: You can calculate the current value (CV) of a pension that starts X years from now. With the current value, you can understand your total compensation package in relation to a move.
It's no longer a question on whether a public school teacher is good or bad. So few of them are good that you have to wonder if your kids' teacher is psychotic or simply bad. Parents need to get their kids out of these institutions, and the thing that makes this so tough is that you then have to pay not only for private education but also the taxes the voracious appetite of the public school system demands too.
Private school teachers can and are just as bad. Additionally, homeschooling is a tool used by parents who abuse children as well. What a broad and dumb generalization from a guy with no education
@@Littlegoblinfatface K-12 is an absolute joke. Studies routinely show that students in these institutions are failing to perform, meanwhile home schooled kids taught by rank amateurs are shown to routinely stop of public school kids in results. You can go about with your snark and head in the sand like a leftist, but enablers like you are just as much of the problem as our trash teachers.
It's a personal decision but, I can tell you from experience that Christian Church camp and private Christian School children are not always better. My nephew attends a mega church, he attended the summer camp and he was bullied called name's. I'm not going to say what he was called but, refused to attend another camp. I've hosted Christian High School parties, I was shocked the kid's acted worse than public High School kid's. The cursing and the music with all the profanity and the new all words. It's your money your choice but, Dave even said, doesn't make it better.
My husband encountered more drugs and alcohol in his very exclusive religious prep schools than I ever encountered at my public high school. And ironically, after all that religious education he is now agnostic and I'm the one that is religious.
@P I...Mega church....sounds a bit "Generic"....that is where the trouble may lie. They probably appeal to everyone, at the expense of the moral standards of All. Thanks.
Originally from Louisville so I know the public school system there sucks. Other than a couple decent traditional schools there, I can see his dilemma. I ended up moving out of Louisville (and Kentucky for that matter).
Private school is great if you have the money. Don’t force it just for the sake of it. All people I know are successful coming from public schools or no schools at all. Money comes from the brain not from a diploma.
It’s a lot of money to go to a private school. I think the parents should just teach their kids how to think through contemporary issues so they can discern what they’re being taught
This is it! Teach your kids to think for themselves rather than sheltering them from ideas you don’t like. I’m a Christian and I want my kids to go public
Wrong. What you're suggesting does not work. Let's say you send your 5 y/o kid to public school. Let's say the books and stories they read to them view history through a "contemporary" lens of collectivist guilt. You think you can teach them to "discern what they're being taught" when their treatment is based off of conformity not merit? You can't. There's too much of a power imbalance. They will be miserable even if you succeed.
@@alexanderwalker4991 Of course there is. However, you expect them not to expose little kids about homosexuality, racial issues, revisionist history and a select few genocides.
America had the best public schools in the world. Please stop bashing our schools. Public school teachers are the most caring and hardest working. Teachers at private schools do not have teaching credentials. That is why they are working at private schools for low pay. The students at private schools have to test in and they are asked to leave if they fall behind or break a rule. Public teachers know how to teach all students. They don’t kick them out for misbehaving or for low academics. Instead they spend time working with each student.
There are a lot of wonderful teachers out there but it’s not just the teachers and if we have the best public education system in the world then that is a huge problem for the world
Sent my daughters to Catholic school was worth every penny public schools in their area had a 50% graduation rate Catholic schools have 97% and a lot of religious schools can provide grants for people who can't afford it completely
Providing your kids with a Christ centered education is not emotional, it's essential. Public schools are terrible child prisons. Home school if you can not afford Christian school or ask for help from the school to pay tuition. You can afford a Christian education but you may have to change your lifestyle.
The logistical issues will be difficult if the mom teaches somewhere other than the one where the kids go-different days off, taking the children to school and picking them up.
@@rgdssd lol. King George the 3rd and British parliament: “those right-wing and brainwashed colonists are just overreacting to a tiny little tax and a few troops staying in their homes….liberty shmiberty”. Totalitarians always downplay and mock liberty minded people’s claims.
By admitting that he made the mistake of realizing that he still had to parent his kids while sending them to private school is all that you need to hear to understand that Dave is completely ill equipped to answer this question. He is clearly naive as to what is actually taking place in the public school system and for him it all comes down to the money, instead of the wellbeing and protection of our children. Academically, the US ranks low amongst other westernized countries, but the bigger concern is the moral indoctrination that is being perpetuated throughout public education. As Christians, we are called to raise our children in the ways of the Lord, but that does not happen when we send them to an anti-Christian institution for eight hours a day. understand Dave’s concern with staying out of debt, but if our children aren’t worth more than money then there’s a far greater problem that we should be addressing.
I don't have any kids, but im sorry im not wasting money paying for tuition for lil a kid or a private HS. Go for free in a public school, I don't understand the whole I want my kid to get a Christian education, what good is that if you become a construction worker?? Absolutely nothing. just my opinion.
My girls were home educated up to middle school, then I enrolled them into a private Christian school that we all LOVE! Caller, please move forward with your plan‼️
@@Jack_Straw a lot of them idolize lousy politicians who don't actually care about them. I say this as an agnostic myself. Schools are way too political now. Politics should not be involved in a school filled with children, not when literacy rates are behind in many areas.
I put my kids through private school from k-12, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to afford it all the way through 12th grade, but glory to God my youngest is in 12th grade and we made it, some months we couldn’t go to the movies or have the fancy dinner but they were enrolled every year, bought them the used books, bought uniforms bigger sizes so they could grow into them, but we made it, did! Not go into debt thankfully. Just had to be clever. They got a bilingual education and Security public schools in PR don’t have.
Also from PR thinking of making the economic sacrifice of putting my son in a private school. Planned on enrolling him in public since I'm a public school teacher and I believe my colleagues are the best of the best, but I feel like I would hold my son back both academically and morally. Safety is also a big issue
Hold up... He makes $100K. She's a trained teacher. And they think having a different group of complete strangers teach their kids is the way to fix this problem. 🤔 Homeschool your kids. Then you know what they're being taught
His right honestly !!! I seen it and heard it. I moved to the most expensive neighborhood and best schools because I couldn't afford it. Those schools are even worse because they want to be cool like low income schools but with money. Honestly it starts at home Period!!!!!
I went to an expensive private school and the kids in my school were druggies, drinkers, and lacked morals. I felt their parents that traveled the world, and had their maids and help raise their children, sent them to private schools thinking the school would instill morals, values, and character. Unfortunately, I doubt that even happened. Smh
As a European I’m so confused at how people in the US view education. Very few go to private schools here, and they have to abide by the same guidelines and regulations as public schools. I would never send my kid to a private school and don’t know anyone who does. Of course American educations in private and public is not good and far behind all other countries. Someone told me in US you don’t have to take maths passed basic algebra. Same with sciences. That’s crazy to me.
Certain politicians here gain a lot from us being uneducated and thus easily manipulated though conspiracy and bad argument. I’ve heard at least one prominent example when at a rally this guy said he prefers uneducated supporters. It’s going to be the end of us, but people like me can’t debate it because you can’t use reason to argue with crazy. Oh well. At least my kids will learn how to think for themselves instead of what to think/not think. That in itself is something.
I'm homeschooling until these crazy "activist" teachers shut their mouths and just teach a regular curriculum...you know, math, reading, science, history, ......
Teachers are not crazy activists. They are hard-working and caring. Math, reading, science, writing and history are taught every day. Along with art, music, physical education and more. The US has the best public school system in the world. The teachers work with all students of all backgrounds and ability levels. Here in America every child has a right to a quality education.
Dave’s kids probably went to school in the 90’s…. Dave we are not worried about curse words. We are worried about CRT and kids receiving a quality education without the far left indoctrination.
@@TestTest-ei4gi public school provide resources that private schools do not have (tutors, counseling, career paths). Most kids my wife tutor are high school private schooled and are suffering in basic Math and English skills AND they have to pay a lot of money to get external help.
It's a tough choice. I went from public to private for a year and hated it. I got bullied and I wasn't treated the same because they all knew each other from childhood. Now I'm having kids and I'm getting pressure from others to enroll my kids in private Catholic schools. But I'm afraid they'll be taught the bad Christian morals that I hate about many Christians like homophobia, racism, abstinence, and intolerance of others belief. And before you say anything, that's just been my experience with my extended family which has given me a bad taste in my mouth for religion, I know that's not all christians. But I also know public City schools are dangerous and provide a low quality education.
@@spankynater4242 Private schools pay less than the public school system(which says a lot because public school teachers don’t get paid much to start off with). When you add the crazy benefits(tenure, health insurance, pension, etc) on top of that most motivated teachers will not work for long at a private school.
It's true that private schools are no escape from bad student behavior. In fact, at my private school, we got rejects from public school. And the kids from religious families could be the biggest bullies. But it was much smaller and the adult-to- student ratio was better, meaning that less goes unnoticed. Depending on the school, it may also be handled better. Furthermore, the course content was better. In the end, I chose to homeschool my own children for multiple reasons, one of them being that some unquestioned assumptions about education persist in private schools as well.
The difference is that at the private schools they are not obligated to accept bad behavior. Ask any public school teacher, their hands are tied political correctness trumps learning.
@@edhcb9359 So true. We had one student expelled for bringing a weapon to school. Nowadays it's all about entitlement to "equal access" regardless of individual behavior.
You pay thousands upon thousands of dollars in taxes to your local schools. I'd rather move to a better school district before paying for private school.
Private school is BETTER than public school. I mean atleast for me, I live in California. Especially for a child's first few years in school. If you want your child to read by the time they are in 1st grade- go private. If you're ok with your child not being able to read until 3rd-4th grade, then public school is for you.

Private schools have been open for over a year. They are not regulated by the public school systems and teacher's unions. I will add that the private schools advocated that their staff be fully vaccinated. All teachers were compliant. They are now advocating students be vaccinated as well. The difference is clear. Teachers' Unions have been unnecessarily pushing back on vaccinations and claiming their environment is unsafe to work in. Teachers are essential workers. PERIOD. Just like medical personnel. Get to work and get off the taxpayer's roll.
I don't have kids and I'm probably wrong, said that I think Christians parents shouldn't shy away from public schools because social/moral/ethical issues. In my view it's the responsibility of the parent to teach moral conduct and educate their kid as an ethical citizen. An overly protected christian child won't stand a chance in the debates that will come in the future. Expose your children to the reality of society, the chaos, the moral degradation and let them know WHY that is wrong. We are IN the World, but not from Here.
I don’t think that’s the issue. I think they are concerned with all of the nonsense, like critical race theory, that’s being forced down the throats of vulnerable and impressionable children.
😂😂😂 private school aren’t any better in terms of negative influence and behavior. Only thing you can bet on is that your child will get a better education majority of the time.
If you cannot afford private or homeschooling, then become involved in the school…not to be a helicopter parent but to ensure that the curriculum is not woke (Are they teaching gender ideology? Are they sexualizing children? Are they teaching certain race groups to hate themselves or to not try at anything because the world will be against them? etc.) As Christians, we need to influence and reclaim education from the enemy.
I’m sorry, Dave. I was also in public school. I worked in the schools. His wife knows what’s going on there. So do I. You don’t really know. We decided to homeschool our children. If you really knew how things changed and you saw the cost the families pay to public school their children you would change your over concern with cost. Homeschooling is a great option and so is Christian school. What is the cost of your child’s soul? Of course you should not go into debt, but you should not think public school is what it was.
Let me enlighten everyone. Per student in the United States, we all pay MORE for each of them to attend public school. It’s not free you already pay nearly $13k per year per child. Guess how much the average private school cost per year? $12k. In some states in only 1/3… Get your children out of the public system. Parent your kids harder than you would 20+ years ago otherwise, TikTok will:
I don't agree with this! It's probably my first video that I haven't agreed with on this platform. I think what's entering your child's mine more important than any financial cutbacks you have to make. I would eat top ramen everyday before I had my kids in the public school situation with what they're teaching in this day and time
That's where parental involvement is so important. A kid in public school whose parents are attentive are going to be much more successful than a private school student whose parents aren't involved.
If you eat Ramen every day, your health will deteriorate, and you will no longer be able to take care of your family, much less any other responsibilities that you have.

Not to bash all systems, as there are some great public schools out there doing great work. Parents have to evaluate their current situation and decide for themselves.

Good way to put it. For example, I went to a private school all through elementary and middle school... it was quite frankly terrible, demotivating, and multiple staff had unjustified disrespect for me.
It was a terrible experience. Public highschool is much better.
The ironic thing is that the better neighborhood that you live in(wealthy) the less that you need to send your kids to private school. So poor people who need private schooling the most for their kids are the ones that can’t afford it.
Agreed. I met a family who took their kids out of catholic school and bussed them to our small-town district and she felt that it was a better environment in every way. I’m thankful that we have a close-knit and strict district with Christian values.
@@edhcb9359 That's not ironic. Schools can't change poor parenting.
My daughter goes to private school and it was the best decision we made for her. Safety was one of the main reasons we decided to put her in private school
You make the community worse by instilling negative fears into your daughter. Psycho
You are promoting class segregation and are merely wrapping her in bubble wrap, instead of having her learn how to navigate becoming an adult.
Weak minded adults raise weak minded children
He makes 100K “so he can afford it.” Why no questions about his debt?
I caught that too. You can make 100k a year but have 100k in debt.
You can make $1M a year and still be flat broke, income doesn't equate to what one can afford without going into debt.
Because that wasn't what he was asking for advice on?
I pulled my kid out of public in 2017 for a private Christian school. Best decision ever. Tuition is reasonable and also worth the sacrifice. She is now a high school sophomore at a Christian hs.
If you wanna make your kids socially inept send them to private school… it’s an awful option
@@isaacpeelrocks Not for our family. My daughter has a close circle of friends that she has had since middle school. She also has another set of friends from her martial arts dojo.
@@isaacpeelrocks What research is this based on? I went to a private catholic school. I am married, with kids, in a great job with a lot of friends. I am far from socially inept.
@Isaac Peel Are you still peddling the lie that a child must go to a public school in order to be socially well adjusted? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't recall any of these mass shootings in schools happening at a private one.
@@isaacpeelrocks Not True At All.
I was in private school until third grade, and then transitioned to public school until I graduated. I had no faith based resources to help me through my problems as a teen and was exposed to drugs and violence daily. The school I went to did not deal with bullying. And the district is one of the top 10 in Ohio. So, at this point I am torn between homeschool and private school for my kids. We’ve been homeschooling but my oldest wants to go to “school”. The cost of me staying at home with them vs the cost of tuition is something we need to consider. If I’m at home teaching them, I’m not working. And if I am working, I have to pay someone to watch them while I’m away. We no longer live in a world where single income families actually thrive and can totally avoid debt unless the provider is making a lot of money. Parents are in a difficult situation and I don’t think Ramsey realizes how bad the public schools have gotten. It was bad in the early 2000s when I was in school, now it’s even worse.
Just a quick question but by any chance are you single parent?
Sent my kids to privates schools from grade school to college. Both are professionals and making six figures now. No bullying or psychos as classmates. Best investments we ever made.
I personally experienced & witnessed the most bullying at private christian school for not having as much money as other students families. I'm glad to hear it isn't like that at all of them.
What is "privates" school😂🤣😂
@@abbey7266 of course you did. They are all evil hypocrites
This is my dream. I’m in tears my daughter getting constantly bullied. The school doesn’t care. To have both my girls go to school it would be 16k.
Yes. I plan to do the same when I have kids. History will NOT repeat itself. Faith based education is super important. ❤
I went to a public school my whole life in South L.A and survive kept the faith but it was tough. The schools are getting worst and worst. I knew before my kids were born I wanted them to have a God center education and that's what I did. I work hard and I'm able to afford the school where I send my son. He also goes to visit grandmother in South L.A so he is street smart too and knows the locals that know me growing up. Teaching them the fear of God, respect, discipline academically is worth it. I as a parent I'm very involved I check his homework and support him in the area he needs support. I will not give up on my kids.
I went to a crappy public school as a kid: it was overflowing with gangs, poor academics, chaos, fights, future inmates, future wife beaters, etc. Private school is better. That is just a fact
I will add one option to this. Consider home schooling if your not satisfied with the public education. When our, now grown children, were school age we started then in private school. It was defiantly better than public but as Dave indicated there is still goin to be some of the same issues as in public education. After researching we decided my wife would stay home and we would home school. That was one of the best decisions we ever made. If you go this route talk to other that are currently doing it and make the change at the beginning of a school year.
I remember moving to the ghetto in Alabama going to high school the first day with everybody having to have clear backpacks and go through metal detectors and less than a week later I was put in a private catholic school and honestly I'm glad my parents sacrificed to make my education and honestly my surroundings much better
I went to Catholic schools in Alabama from kindergarten through high school. For tuition, you can choose a flat rate or a percentage of your income. The Catholic school I attended in the 70s had the same racial percentages as our city. Some students paid nothing. It just depends. Catholic schools in Mobile Alabama at that time were very accommodating. @sexyandiknowit45
in regards to the comments, i don't think this is a matter of how much money kids will make as adults, rather the morals and values taught at the private Christian school vs public.
Morals and values are taught at home. I went to public schools all my life and encountering opinions that were different from mine made me more empathetic and tolerant and in no way shook my fundamental beliefs. If you raise your children in a stable home with morals, values, reason and logic you have nothing to worry about.
i absolutely agree, however what may be amiss are the ongoing, and evermore deviations from morality within the educations of public school lessons. Like that one video of the teacher taking the US flag down and putting in its place the pride flag, then having students pledge allegiance to that. That's a bit of an extreme and rare case, but do you see why some folks may be worried about their kids education?
There are good public districts, and also bad private schools. I wouldn’t risk it.
To be honest 3700 for a private institution doesn't sound like a bad deal. I went to a public school and it wasn't that great. But that might just be my locality.
My wife is a school teacher and most of the teachers are awesome! The trouble is the material they are supposed to teach is ridiculous. This year my wife basically has to read out of a book the whole time instead of having an actual original thought of her own to teach.
Spot on zach
Teachers are reduced to being technicians. They are not allowed to use their expertise or creativity.
I didn't realize private school teachers don't have a set curriculum
@@Jack_Straw And I imagine "Christian" school teachers are required to read out of the Bible. Not much room for creativity or free-thinking there.
Not worth it, parents sent me and my sister to Catholic school and I wish they didn't, if they invested that money instead they'd probably be retired now or have a paid off house, instead it stretched them thin and they ended up losing their house in the 08 crash, and we had to be moved to public school. I appreciate them for trying but we learned the same in public school. Just teach your kids right from wrong. Don't shield them from diversity and debates. The real world doesn't exist in a bubble.
100% agree, or save the money for college.
I see your point but without a foundation you are in danger of throwing your kids to the wolves. Of course different kids are in different situations with different outcomes. I just go by the quote "if you send your kids to Caeser, don't be shocked when they come back Romans."

Perfect answer 👌🏻 thank you
Homeschool is not for everyone. Not all families can afford to have someone stay home. Not all women want to stay home with kids. Plus teaching is a skill that not everyone has, especially not in every subject.
That's terrible advice. Mom gives up her employment, income, pension and autonomy to be some automaton homeschooler? No.

Where a child goes to school matters more than any other financial decision a parent can make. So much that parents sacrifice income to homeschool if there are no other options. Find the best school choice for your child, and make it work.
Any school will do. Parents just have to get more involved with their kids education and stop relying on a school to do everything.
@@DeepDeepSpace I agree. All primary/secondary schools have a lot of problems & the parent needs to be more involved.

Private school is worth it. If you live in an area where the public schools are brain washing your kids on CRT I believe it's worth the change. My kids did private and we do not regret it. They turned out to be pretty great adults, love the Lord and are making good choices.
Amen.
Public schools are terrible but it has nothing to do with crt ya dumb bot

I went to private school K-8. My mom wanted to send me to private school for high school. I begged her to go to the public high school. She eventually agreed and it was one of the best things that happen to me. I’m sure there are some really good private schools but not many. I proudly send my own kids to public school. To each their own though.
I personally think unless the school system is absolutely awful that private school is a waste of money before college
As a mom of 5, I disagree.
I’m from Louisville, but moved to Tennessee. The public schools there are horrible! I know that from first hand.
They are fast becoming absolutely awful. Have you paid attention lately? CRT to begin with.
People like this caller are looking to shield their children from ever encountering anything that will challenge their beliefs. But in the practical sense private schools make no sense to me. My husband went to one of the top prep schools in the state (and it was a religious school), I went to a "ghetto" high school (as he jokes). We both went to the same university (where we met) and both became engineers. Even graduated college with similar GPA. Is all in the parenting. In his very exclusive prep school my husband encountered more drugs and alcohol that I ever saw.
Some of the people replying to Demetri`s comment ignoring the main point he made. He said "unless the school is awful". My son goes to a public high school in Texas that is 100% magnet school focusing on STEM, and it is awesome.
Wow it really doesn’t matter if a kid goes to public or private. Every kid smokes and drinks for their first time behind their parents.
I went to public school in Los Angeles and now I’m a chemical engineer.
School system doesn’t matter. It’s the way a parent raises their kids.
A lot of parents are quick to blame a school rather than their inept parenting.
Everyone has seen that kid that’s always causing trouble and when you see the parents it’s an exact replica of the child.
In today’s environment, I think many parents feel they have more control over what their children are learning in private schools.
Both students and parents should stop blaming the school system and start fixing their own behaviors for sure. Parents especially, but if the student is old enough, then yeah, they should be responsible for their own behaviors as well
Agree 100%. I also went to public school, was an honors student, went on to get my Masters Degree.
It’s 100% the education at home, teaching your children to be rational, critical thinkers and problem solvers. It’s not up to the school system to form and educate your child.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
When I was researching public vs private schools here on TH-cam my algorithm became full of why I quit teaching videos. These were all from public school teachers mentioning they quit because of kids behavior issues and admin. I chose to send my kids to Catholic school right before they started I met a lady at a kids rosary meeting who asked me what school my two kids would be attending. Turns out same school her granddaughters were going to. She said she was a retired public school teacher and that in the 90s they started discussing not being able to send black kids to safe which is kind of like detention during school hours because it looked bad for the schools image that all the kids in safe were black. That’s just it you can’t be concerned more about the schools image rather than the students well being.
Education and the education system is so different between public & private like night and day. But what happens at home is key on you child’s life.
Agreed.stop being your kids friend and act like a parent
I usually agree with Ramsey, but this one seems to be all about money for him. Let’s say this, in a capitalist country like US everyone can afford a private school (and those who truly can’t, will qualify for a discount or a financial aid). It’s all about priorities. And in times like this, saving the next generation IS and should be a priority.
We cant even save the current generation, or the ones before.
Social Security is a mess, may not even exist in the next few decades. Healthcare in US is atrocious, if you get sick it can easily cost 100’s of thousands of dollars, leaving you and your kids nothing.
Banks CD rates are literally as low as 0.20% you cannot save money in the US and have it stay with inflation.
I wish CD’s would go back up to 6-8%.

It's no longer a question on whether a public school teacher is good or bad. So few of them are good that you have to wonder if your kids' teacher is psychotic or simply bad. Parents need to get their kids out of these institutions, and the thing that makes this so tough is that you then have to pay not only for private education but also the taxes the voracious appetite of the public school system demands too.
Public school funding is a bottomless pit.

Give every parent vouchers and let them decide.
It's a personal decision but, I can tell you from experience that Christian Church camp and private Christian School children are not always better. My nephew attends a mega church, he attended the summer camp and he was bullied called name's. I'm not going to say what he was called but, refused to attend another camp. I've hosted Christian High School parties, I was shocked the kid's acted worse than public High School kid's. The cursing and the music with all the profanity and the new all words. It's your money your choice but, Dave even said, doesn't make it better.
My husband encountered more drugs and alcohol in his very exclusive religious prep schools than I ever encountered at my public high school. And ironically, after all that religious education he is now agnostic and I'm the one that is religious.

Originally from Louisville so I know the public school system there sucks. Other than a couple decent traditional schools there, I can see his dilemma. I ended up moving out of Louisville (and Kentucky for that matter).
The real dilemma many parents face is do they pay for private school tuition or move to a town with a much better school district?
Private school is great if you have the money. Don’t force it just for the sake of it. All people I know are successful coming from public schools or no schools at all. Money comes from the brain not from a diploma.
Yes sir!
not everything is about money. Its about them becoming good people.
“I sure wish my kids went to public school” is something never said.
Facts
It’s a lot of money to go to a private school. I think the parents should just teach their kids how to think through contemporary issues so they can discern what they’re being taught
This is it! Teach your kids to think for themselves rather than sheltering them from ideas you don’t like.
I’m a Christian and I want my kids to go public
Wrong. What you're suggesting does not work. Let's say you send your 5 y/o kid to public school. Let's say the books and stories they read to them view history through a "contemporary" lens of collectivist guilt. You think you can teach them to "discern what they're being taught" when their treatment is based off of conformity not merit? You can't. There's too much of a power imbalance. They will be miserable even if you succeed.

America had the best public schools in the world. Please stop bashing our schools. Public school teachers are the most caring and hardest working. Teachers at private schools do not have teaching credentials. That is why they are working at private schools for low pay. The students at private schools have to test in and they are asked to leave if they fall behind or break a rule. Public teachers know how to teach all students. They don’t kick them out for misbehaving or for low academics. Instead they spend time working with each student.
I went to public school and everything was just fine. I know some schools sucks but to put every public school in one basket is ridiculous.
Where is this public school none I have seen
There are a lot of wonderful teachers out there but it’s not just the teachers and if we have the best public education system in the world then that is a huge problem for the world
Sent my daughters to Catholic school was worth every penny public schools in their area had a 50% graduation rate Catholic schools have 97% and a lot of religious schools can provide grants for people who can't afford it completely
Providing your kids with a Christ centered education is not emotional, it's essential. Public schools are terrible child prisons. Home school if you can not afford Christian school or ask for help from the school to pay tuition. You can afford a Christian education but you may have to change your lifestyle.
So many people pulling kids out of schools. Teachers should be making bank opening their own school.
The logistical issues will be difficult if the mom teaches somewhere other than the one where the kids go-different days off, taking the children to school and picking them up.

This is very insightful--I went to public schools but have been curious about private school
By admitting that he made the mistake of realizing that he still had to parent his kids while sending them to private school is all that you need to hear to understand that Dave is completely ill equipped to answer this question. He is clearly naive as to what is actually taking place in the public school system and for him it all comes down to the money, instead of the wellbeing and protection of our children. Academically, the US ranks low amongst other westernized countries, but the bigger concern is the moral indoctrination that is being perpetuated throughout public education. As Christians, we are called to raise our children in the ways of the Lord, but that does not happen when we send them to an anti-Christian institution for eight hours a day. understand Dave’s concern with staying out of debt, but if our children aren’t worth more than money then there’s a far greater problem that we should be addressing.

Unfortunately, I doubt that even happened. Smh
As a European I’m so confused at how people in the US view education. Very few go to private schools here, and they have to abide by the same guidelines and regulations as public schools. I would never send my kid to a private school and don’t know anyone who does. Of course American educations in private and public is not good and far behind all other countries. Someone told me in US you don’t have to take maths passed basic algebra. Same with sciences. That’s crazy to me.
Certain politicians here gain a lot from us being uneducated and thus easily manipulated though conspiracy and bad argument. I’ve heard at least one prominent example when at a rally this guy said he prefers uneducated supporters. It’s going to be the end of us, but people like me can’t debate it because you can’t use reason to argue with crazy. Oh well. At least my kids will learn how to think for themselves instead of what to think/not think. That in itself is something.
Yeap I was in catholic school 6-12 grade and boy we were bad
Sanity is worth a pay cut!!
The answer is YES! ...or home school them.
I'm homeschooling until these crazy "activist" teachers shut their mouths and just teach a regular curriculum...you know, math, reading, science, history, ......
No critical race theory 😂
@@TerrellThinks no, I’m against racism.
Teachers don't set curriculum, school boards do
Teachers are not crazy activists. They are hard-working and caring. Math, reading, science, writing and history are taught every day. Along with art, music, physical education and more. The US has the best public school system in the world. The teachers work with all students of all backgrounds and ability levels. Here in America every child has a right to a quality education.
Dave’s kids probably went to school in the 90’s….
Dave we are not worried about curse words. We are worried about CRT and kids receiving a quality education without the far left indoctrination.
Private education is cheap in the US. Wow. You’d be lucky to find £7500 per term in the uk!
For high school you have to cry to go to college
No private high school is really unaffordable for most people
As a kid who went to private school, I can say it's a waste of money.
Mine was a dud as well
Public school is worse
@@TestTest-ei4gi public school provide resources that private schools do not have (tutors, counseling, career paths). Most kids my wife tutor are high school private schooled and are suffering in basic Math and English skills AND they have to pay a lot of money to get external help.
It's a tough choice. I went from public to private for a year and hated it. I got bullied and I wasn't treated the same because they all knew each other from childhood. Now I'm having kids and I'm getting pressure from others to enroll my kids in private Catholic schools. But I'm afraid they'll be taught the bad Christian morals that I hate about many Christians like homophobia, racism, abstinence, and intolerance of others belief. And before you say anything, that's just been my experience with my extended family which has given me a bad taste in my mouth for religion, I know that's not all christians. But I also know public City schools are dangerous and provide a low quality education.
Public school didn’t do this man well. But we shouldn’t rely on the schools to guide our kids at all.
Sounds like the private school this guy wants his kid’s to attend has the best teachers that $25k per year will buy! 😂
He never mentioned how much full-time teachers earn. His wife will be working as a substitute, which is why she would be earning that amount.
@@spankynater4242 Private schools pay less than the public school system(which says a lot because public school teachers don’t get paid much to start off with). When you add the crazy benefits(tenure, health insurance, pension, etc) on top of that most motivated teachers will not work for long at a private school.
@@edhcb9359 Prívate schools also don’t require a teaching credential.
@@genxx2724 in Oregon, substitute teachers now don’t even need a 4 year degree at public schools!
@@jonmcdermeit2944 In California, ethnic studies will now be a high school graduation requirement. But what is needed is personal finance education.
It's true that private schools are no escape from bad student behavior. In fact, at my private school, we got rejects from public school. And the kids from religious families could be the biggest bullies. But it was much smaller and the adult-to- student ratio was better, meaning that less goes unnoticed. Depending on the school, it may also be handled better. Furthermore, the course content was better. In the end, I chose to homeschool my own children for multiple reasons, one of them being that some unquestioned assumptions about education persist in private schools as well.
The difference is that at the private schools they are not obligated to accept bad behavior. Ask any public school teacher, their hands are tied political correctness trumps learning.
@@edhcb9359 So true. We had one student expelled for bringing a weapon to school. Nowadays it's all about entitlement to "equal access" regardless of individual behavior.
@@Susq15 That’s probably why that one student at your school got expelled…he didn’t bring enough guns for everybody. 😂
Wow thank you for such an insightful comment.
What unquestioned assumptions?
You pay thousands upon thousands of dollars in taxes to your local schools. I'd rather move to a better school district before paying for private school.
Private school is BETTER than public school. I mean atleast for me, I live in California. Especially for a child's first few years in school. If you want your child to read by the time they are in 1st grade- go private. If you're ok with your child not being able to read until 3rd-4th grade, then public school is for you.
I’m in California and we’ve had great public schools. It pays to buy your home in the right area.
@@tracyaf6084 except that's just not the truth. Especially nowadays holy crap, all the extra nonsense. Id rather pay for a first rate education than pay $600k on a 2 bedroom house, but to each their own.
@@amosiren we’re lucky that we bought in 2012 when housing prices were much lower. It doesn’t cost less to buy in a neighborhood with bad schools so you’re paying out either way.
Keep the kids in public school, put the tuition money in a seperate account. When they turn 25, give them half. They will thank you
Private schools have been open for over a year. They are not regulated by the public school systems and teacher's unions. I will add that the private schools advocated that their staff be fully vaccinated. All teachers were compliant. They are now advocating students be vaccinated as well. The difference is clear. Teachers' Unions have been unnecessarily pushing back on vaccinations and claiming their environment is unsafe to work in. Teachers are essential workers. PERIOD. Just like medical personnel. Get to work and get off the taxpayer's roll.
I don't have kids and I'm probably wrong, said that I think Christians parents shouldn't shy away from public schools because social/moral/ethical issues. In my view it's the responsibility of the parent to teach moral conduct and educate their kid as an ethical citizen. An overly protected christian child won't stand a chance in the debates that will come in the future. Expose your children to the reality of society, the chaos, the moral degradation and let them know WHY that is wrong. We are IN the World, but not from Here.
I don’t think that’s the issue. I think they are concerned with all of the nonsense, like critical race theory, that’s being forced down the throats of vulnerable and impressionable children.
Yesterday. Screen the schools very carefully. I totally disagree with dave here.
What exactly do you disagree with him about? I didn’t really hear him take any firm stand concerning private versus public education, either way.
@@spankynater4242 they can afford to get their child out of public school, they absolutely should do it.
Stop working & homeschool. Time with your children is crucial🙏🏼
😂😂😂 private school aren’t any better in terms of negative influence and behavior. Only thing you can bet on is that your child will get a better education majority of the time.
Get out of debt n put ur kids in Christian school or homeschool. I’m a public school teacher. I did what I’m recommending 👊🏾
God bless you for your comment.
@@jesussaves5141 may the lord bless u too 👀🙏🏿
If you cannot afford private or homeschooling, then become involved in the school…not to be a helicopter parent but to ensure that the curriculum is not woke (Are they teaching gender ideology? Are they sexualizing children? Are they teaching certain race groups to hate themselves or to not try at anything because the world will be against them? etc.) As Christians, we need to influence and reclaim education from the enemy.
Home school>private>charter>public school.
You forgot the Eulers equation substitution which is: homeschool = 🗑
Yes
I’m sorry, Dave. I was also in public school. I worked in the schools. His wife knows what’s going on there. So do I. You don’t really know. We decided to homeschool our children. If you really knew how things changed and you saw the cost the families pay to public school their children you would change your over concern with cost. Homeschooling is a great option and so is Christian school. What is the cost of your child’s soul? Of course you should not go into debt, but you should not think public school is what it was.
Let me enlighten everyone. Per student in the United States, we all pay MORE for each of them to attend public school. It’s not free you already pay nearly $13k per year per child. Guess how much the average private school cost per year? $12k. In some states in only 1/3…
Get your children out of the public system. Parent your kids harder than you would 20+ years ago otherwise, TikTok will:
I don't agree with this! It's probably my first video that I haven't agreed with on this platform. I think what's entering your child's mine more important than any financial cutbacks you have to make. I would eat top ramen everyday before I had my kids in the public school situation with what they're teaching in this day and time
Kids still need food, clothes and shelter. You can't spend all your money on a private school.
That's where parental involvement is so important. A kid in public school whose parents are attentive are going to be much more successful than a private school student whose parents aren't involved.
If you eat Ramen every day, your health will deteriorate, and you will no longer be able to take care of your family, much less any other responsibilities that you have.
@@DeepDeepSpace that's where homeschooling comes in. It can be done for very little. Downsize, sell things, do what it takes. Get them out of the public school system. Period.
@@KristiBee but you’re also losing an income if one parent has to stay home to homeschool
