Charter schools are tax payer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. In the U.S. there are approximately 2.9 million students enrolled in 6,700 charter schools. Charter schools are approved and governed by city, county or state governments. Beneficiaries of private schools include real-estate investors who typically own the buildings and land where the schools are housed. Opponents of charter schools argue that they take money away from the public education system and enrich private companies and real estate investors who own the land where the schools are built. Proponents argue that students in charter schools consistently have higher test scores than public school students and note that there are millions of students across the U.S. who are currently on waitlists for private schools.

should be privately funded.
Yes but there cannot be a lottery system.
this doesnt make sense
School choice for all
Yes but we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead and pay teachers more than they are paid now raise the wages
I don't understand what the difference between a charter school and other schooling options are
Yes, as long as standardized test scores are non-inferior to scores from nearby public schools
Yes, but only if they are non-profit, or we institute a voucher system.
Yes, but we should improve on them
Yes, but not at the expense of public schools funding, and only in locations where school systems demonstrate poor performance
Private schools are fine but our taxes should not pay for them. Also both private and public should give the same good quality education. Teacher wages should also be increased
Yes. Some of us have very clear pedagogical wishes for our kids that fit our philosophy just as much as we have freedom of religious choice.
This doesn't affect me.
Yes, but I don't support the Inspire model.
No, private schools should be privately funded.
Both public and charter schools need to be improved and having to be accepted into a private school should not be a thing, if a student wants to challenge themselves and go to a harder school they should have the freedom to do so.
I do not enough to form an opinion
it depends. we should definitely focus on paying the teachers better
No, keep the funding in the public school system, and work on making the system equal across the nations. Take the regulation out of the hands of the states and regulate it at the federal level. This is how we stop educational oppression.
do not know enough information about charter schools
I don’t really know what is it
Yes as long as people can pay for it without the government help
No, all private schools should be affiliated with a religious organization.
I feel that I do not know enough about this topic to contribute an answer.
No, charter schools have a way of becoming shelters for white upper-class families. They don't allow for diversity, of any kind, be it racial, ethnic, ability, religious, political, etc.
I do but we should also raise teacher salaries
Yes, but we should focus on improving our public school and increasing teacher wages and benefits first.
Yes, but they should not compete with public school facilities in extracurricular activities
No, public programs should not be managed by private companies
Yes, and only if the Government doesn't have anything to do with them.
No, and the current school system should be entirely reformed. Homework causes students to have lots of negative stress, sleep deprivation, depression, etc. The current curriculum and textbooks are all inherently biased as the people who write them are almost all left-wing, with little if any right-wing input. School hours should be shorter, which will put less stress on students and allow for more personal and family time. Tenure should be abolished, and teachers who do evil acts should be fired on the spot. Schools have been turned into socialist brain-washing camps. The writer of this attends a public school, and he knows that. Uniforms threaten individual expression and force conformity. There are many other problems that could be listed.
No, schools should not be publicly funded. Privatize all education.
Yes, but only if they are held to high standards that all educational institutions should be held to.
I would say nothing of it only because it can help but can harm.
I don’t really know much about that issue.
Its fine as long as they arent indoctrinating our children
It doesn't bother anyone
Yes, and they should be the only form of education
Yes, but only if they are non-profit and not at the expense of funding public schools also we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages.
Yes, only if non profit and not at expense of public funding
Yes. They should not be paid for with public funds and need to be more heavily regulated.
Yes, but only if non-profit, not at the expense of public school funding, and we should improve teacher pay and public schools still
I dont really have an opinion
Yes, but only non-profits and not at the expense of funding public schools.
Yes and I support private school vouchers for all families making less than $90k a year.
Yes, but only if they are non-profit.
i think if you mess up enough times in public school you shouldn't be able to attend and the only way to move on after is to get your GED
Yes, so long as they are not religious
