Question

Read the rubric, then write your opinion essay.

Answer

Today there are a number of fee-paying schools that offer students a private educational. In my opinion, attending a private school can be very beneficial.

Firstly, a private school gives students access to modern facilities and equipment. For example, they have better books and supplies than state schools as well as up-to-date computers.

Secondly, students are offered a more challenging curriculum and lower student-teacher ratios than state schools. This means that they can study more interesting subjects and get more attention from their teachers. However, some people say that private schools put too much pressure on students to succeed. In addition, they are very expensive.

In conclusion, I believe private schools can offer students a number of advantages. However, not everyone can afford them.
