While private education provides some advantages of flexibility to students in the classroom, there are some drawbacks to an education fixed around a set religious or philosophical teaching, and while public schools are showing a greater increase in academic achievement in their students, the government sanctioned curriculum does create a more rigid classroom setting, as teachers do not have any flexibility within their own classroom. Both public and private schools have both positive and negative aspects, and ultimately, there does need to be some kind of baseline for the standards of education, however, there needs to be room in curriculums to examine more than just what students will be tested on, but also on what they will need to live fuller and healthier
