Many people think of schools as buildings, teachers and students. Proprietary schools, however, think first of the students. They are interested most in satisfying their customers, the students. Proprietary schools are privately owned vocational schools. To remain in business they must give students what they want to learn at a fair price. The students themselves normally pay for the east of the training. Thus, the school must offer gaining that is practical and that will help students get a paying job. Generally the training lasts from 6 months to one year. In the U.S. proprietary schools number about 10,000 and that number is growing to meet increasing needs.
    Courses in proprietary schools not only include training in business and technical skills, but also in self improvement, such as painting, crafts, speech and physical development. The field popular with most students is car mechanics and re pair, with nearly 3,000 schools in operation.
    Teachers in proprietary schools generally work longer hours for less pay than public schools. However, the quality of instruction is high, because teachers work closely with students. Some schools ask students to evaluate the teachers.
    Propriety schools emphasize applied rather than theoretical knowledge. They often are willing to experiment with new ideas in their teaching. The teachers themselves come from the real world of work. Most of them are professionals, and they know what the students will need on the job. Courses are given in short segments. This helps to give the students  a sense of accomplishment. Automated education is used with success and team-teaching is common.
    The students axe, of course, most interested in results and in getting a good job. Generally most of them do, and this can be considered a success in education.
