ABSTRACT

Compulsory education is a basic public service and a public welfare undertaking that must be guaranteed by the state. The main strategy for the development of private compulsory education in the United States is to maintain the long-term stability of the public and private ratios. This article analyzes private compulsory education and public compulsory education in the United States from the aspects of development pattern, protection of the public welfare of education, and school function positioning. The conclusion is that public education occupies the dominant position; the public welfare attribute of compulsory education is guaranteed, and for-profit or quasi-profit compulsory education is excluded and guarded. Protect and respect the choice of education, and relieve the craze of private school choice through public education reform. Emphasize equal support and supervision, and implement both support and accountability. Improve the quality of compulsory education, promote students' all-around development and healthy growth, and effectively guarantee educational equity and social equity.
