In Metro-Atlanta there are so many private schools where the students are treated like royalty. The opportunities of a life time happen in schools where academics are taken seriously and everyone is dedicated to doing there part. However, the schools are typically filled with white spoiled kids who get whatever they want. In this article they go on to say that the stereotypes of private schools in the state are starting to change. The schools are starting to accept more of minorities and low- income families. Many officials wonder what the motives of the schools are when they put the offer out to accept different people. Some think that the reason behind the change would be to fulfill what they believe to be "lack of culture". By offering the school to "ordinary people”, would students from other lifestyles fit into this particular learning environment? Studies have shown that students perform better in the classroom when they can relate to the people around them. How would the low income families afford the tuition? This new change within the schools will not benefit but further hinder the poverty stricken families even more. The school does not offer any special grants or loans to help cover the expense of attendance. So the parents of the students who are struggling to pay bill and provide the bare necessities of life would be force to carry the financial burden of a better education for their offspring.

I think that private schools are great. The discipline is what makes the school so different from public schools. Being in a school where the teacher is dedicated to the student, and when the student is dedicated to his/her learning experience is also what makes the schools so successful. In this article the writer writes from his personal experience within the districts of Atlanta. Being a minority and not being able to put his kids through the best schools or having the financial strain of the best schools is what has made the process so difficult. In this article the writer states that the systems within the distinct are designed to help a certain race. My personal experience with public schools has not been that great. I have found that the education that I have received within the schools were second best when it came down to privates schools. From what I know about private school I believe that they are the best school for any race and gender
