Private school teachers and administrators are incredibly accountable for the performance of themselves and their students. Poor results mean they could lose their jobs so every year they are pushed to ensure they deliver the best quality of education to their students. Private schools also tend to have less bureaucracy as extra staff mean extra costs and administrators are responsible for managing their costs. This often means they are more responsive to stakeholders (students and parents) and can adapt to changes in education practices and technology.
Public school teachers and administrators are often pointed at as having a shocking lack of accountability where the number of years’ service in the local union are rewarded more than performance. This lack of incentive for teachers means that students’ education can often suffer.
