Do you support charter schools?

Yes, and we should decrease the amount of public schools for growth in the free market, lowering taxes, and limiting government

Quality schools are in short supply. I support any option that leads to better education. Not every charter school meets this standard, but some do.

I don't hate charter schools although I don't like that they take money away from public education systems.

I have my own bad experience with charter schools but ,I do like the idea of privatized education and more freedom with what is taught in them.

I support school choice. Charter schools should have standards that are based on solid educational practices.

Yes, I think we should take the concepts of charter schools (having emphasis on students' needs and interests) and put into the agenda of public schools and provide more in depth summer schools that help students move forward. I think teachers should be paid more and given help with less students,. I think education for the most part should be done with individual students in mind instead of just as a group. I think we should still have an emphasis on core classes such as english, mathematics, science, and history. However, it does not take twelve years to learn all of it. We should have the kids be proficient in it and not be allowed to move along in certain classes if they did poorly.

Tax money should not go to anything but public schools. We need a national K-12 curriculum with standardized textbooks and testing for each subject in each grade. We need a much longer school year and national qualifications for teachers. Parents should serve as a board of directors for any school their children attend and have the power to hire and fire school staff.

Yes, and state governments should reduce red tape to allow the creation of more private and charter schools, and make it easier to receive accreditation

Yes, and school districts should also support the integration of P-Tech, Public Art, Vocational, Technical, and Trade Schools into charter and public schools

I don't think there is a problem with charter or private schools. If people want to attend them, I don't see an issue. Sure they may be a little more money, but the outcomes for students are good.

Yea, as on option to parents in a voucher based system

Yes, but not at the expense of funding public schools, and if they're non-profit. Charter schools are OK, however teaching an abundance of political/religious bias to impressionable students should not be allowed.

Yes, and parents should receive vouchers for private school or home school

No. The most qualified students don't get in. Usually admission is quotas, political agendas, and personal connection.

yes, teachers should also get a raise

Sure but at the same time help public school raise wages.

No, I support private schools that meet the basic requirements for an education, but are governed by parents.

Yes, and create more charter schools, public arts schools, vocation and trade schools, and job training/CTE programs

Yes, and incentivize states to create more charter schools, public arts schools, vocation and trade schools, and job training programs, and increase access for students through vouchers and/or Education Savings Accounts similar to Florida's program

They can do what they want

yes, but all schooling should be optional

No, if a school receives public funding, it should not be privatized. Direct the funding to vocational, technical, and public performing arts schools instead

yes as long as they are privately funded

Government money (taxes) should not be used with and for private involvements

Both types of schooling have different benefits. If you go to a charter school it will be more strict and school oriented. Public school is less restrictive and allows people to get a better sense of the real world compared to the only school-focused school. I believe we should keep charter schools but prevent the companies from making a huge profit.

Yes, but still need to focus on funding public school education too

Yes, but make charter schools and all schools in the United States work togther

Да это должны решать штаты а не конгресс

I support ONLY private schools without ANY government interference/assistance.

I support ONLY private schools with ANY government interference/assistance/

Yes, but school choice voucher systems should be implemented to provide incentives to charters.

I don't really feel strongly one way or the other

Don’t know anything about this issue

Yes, only if charter schools can meet state testing standards and provide a quality education to obtain government funding.

Yes everyone allowed choice

Yes, but only if they are non-profit using funding from public schools and our entire education system should be privatized.

We should be focusing on increasing quality of educations and encouraging STEM in all schools and increase the bar and challenge to help student face the challenge

Yes. Education should be funded and managed at the state and local levels.

We need to correct the K-12 tax funding inequality. Currently set up to benefit high income families and neglect low income families.

No, but privatize the entire education system. Charter schools use taxpayer dollars so their not entirely without government intervention.

I don't understand this as well and need to reaserch more

Yes, but use a voucher system based on income to choose between public, chartered or home schooling.

I don’t care enough.

Charter schools divert money from regular public schools; they lack transparency and accountability, and do not do right by either teachers or students.

Yes entire education system should be privatized. Classrooms should be monitored remotely by parents not government officials if they want to tune in at anytime to see what their kids are being taught.

Yes, and our entire education system should be privatized (so long as there are vouchers).

Only if they aren't used for religious reasons

Freedom to go to it or a religious school.

Depends, I would support charter or public schools if they're not funded by any tax dollars

Yes as long as they have to report same info as public schools.

Yes and I support portability of funds so that parents can chose whichever education option works best for their families, to include micro-school/pod or homeschooling.

Parents should have the choice of where to send there kids not the government

I think they can offer a better education than that of public but why can't we just prioritize that goal of educated every child to the fullest, instead of making it a luxury that few can afford.

Yes, only if they are non-profit and do not accept public funding

Im un-effected

No, privatized education should not receive funding from the government, which would’ve otherwise gone to public schools

Yes, and parents should get vouchers towards the cost

yes but not all schools should be privatized.

Yes but they should have to do same report

Yes, but we should do more to put education under the control of the parents

Education is vary important and I believe that every student should be given the opportunity to seek the best learning experience they can get. But it should not be available to only the rich or minorities. Charter or public all students who work hard should get the chance to move forward.

Either parents should be given an account to spend on home schooling, a non profit educational institution, a charter school, or a public school, or public school should end at 6th grade and be private after with no funds from the government. What's the point of indoctrinating people that can't even read, because that's where we're at now.

Yes, and we should move to school choice where the funding goes to the student over the institution. Allowing a student and parent the ability to choose the path that best fits the need of the student will greatly increase productivity in our younger generation as well as cut redundancies and wasteful spending.

yes and make public schools meet charter schools standards or the face losing government funding for failing to meet those standards

Yes, everyone has the right to attend whatever school they want.

Yes and private school vouchers for low and middle income families.

Yes and also offer them to be federalized under the Department of Education.

If charter schools work so well, why don’t we focus on replicating them in public schools?

Yes, but abolish uniform requirements for students attending them.

I support allowing subsidized private education for those who are in poor school districts who cannot test into better school districts, also hold public schools accountable for the abismal graduation rate.

I may support a voucher system

Yes, but not at the expense of funding public schools and if the charter schools are non-profit. Education isn't something to profit off of.

I only support tax deferment for those who send their children to private schools . Let the market decide the economics and dont make parents pay twice to educate their children . I also support tax deferment for those that home school .

It can be an option

Yes but we must work on saving our public schools.

Yes, but they should not be allowed to participate in competitions or sporting events with public schools.

Yes, but rather hold public schools to same principles (such as flexible curriculum and public funding).

No, until Charter schools are held accountable they run the risk of becoming a profit before child institution

Im between

Yes, but they shouldn't be tax-funded.

If charter schools are so independent then why do they need money from the government?

No, voucher system

not enough knowledge on this topic

Yes but with the requirements that its non profit and doesnt take funding away from public schools to cause the two to compete for better educational incentives

No, we should fix our current public education system but parents should have the option to send their kid to a private school

no, education should not be privatized and also we should focus on our public schools and increasing teacher wages

Charter schools are great for those who cannot afford a higher institution for example like private schools are a blessing to be able to go to if able to be affordable, although education is needed, so charter school are best to exist, the problem with charter schools is that even though it may be free, there are many problems that occur inside the building, rather than a private school as a private school is more monitored and safe.

If the education is better, yes

Charter schools usually suck

Yes, only if students from low-income families have equal access to them

If they are gonna be funded by the government they should follow the rules like the public schools

Yes and I shouldn’t have to pay taxes for education if my child is in a charter school

Yes, but they should be privately funded. States funds should be used for public schools

No, our entire education system should be fully privatized

No. We need to support our public schools a little more and help catholic schools as well.

No, provide vouchers for students

Yes, but subsidies should be available in remote areas

yes, for the people who can't afford school.
