Public or Private which is better

When you become a parent you are met with so many new challenges. You are in charge of someone’s life now. Whatever they need you are there to provide. A child’s education is something you have to think about also. Do you want to send them to a public school like a lot of society does or would you like to send them to a private school which, is a lot more expensive? When I was looking this up this is a very debated topic.

                According to greatschools.org “The most obvious discrepancy between public and private schools comes down to cold, hard cash.” (5) I know for a fact that private schools are a lot more expensive then public school considering public school cannot charge for tuition. When you think of the typical Catholic Central kid you think of the spoiled rotten rich kid, but I know a lot of people that went to that school and they are some of the nicest people I know. However a lot of them are spoiled rich kids. Some people say that a private education is better than a public I think it’s the same. Both schools need to teach the same thing. Both schools have certain things you need to cover in class. Private schools may have more classes you could choose from but they generally teach the same things. 

Ted Talk: How to spot a liar, by Pamela Meyer

Pamela Meyer talks about how to spot a liar. She goes into the explanation of how we, as individuals have to be willing to be lied to. Lying is a cooperative action. Meaning it’s like a two way street. You have to be willing to except the lie that someone else is telling you. She talks about how lying is a way for people to connect, and how lying is something we wish we could be. She then goes into how studies show that you may be lied to 10 – 200 times a day, and how strangers lie three times within the first ten minutes of meeting them. We lie more to strangers then we do to our friends and family.

It amazes me how much we actually lie to each other. I do think that we lie to strangers more then we lie to our friends and family. From what she is saying I feel like we lie to each other to be liked by the other person. The need to be accepted by people is so strong that we will do anything to earn that acceptance, even lie to them about something that we never needed to lie to them about. I know that I personally do not like being lied to. I also know that not a lot of people can ever say they have never told a lie. If it’s to protect yourself, or maybe someone you love. It could be to protect that person from getting their feelings hurt. You could also be doing it for your own selfish need, there is lots of reasons that people lie. I just don’t understand why the need to do it is so strong.
