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.
Yes, as long as they satisfy the same educational requirements enforced at public schools.
Yes, if traditional public schools are offered the same levels of autonomy and fundraising ability.
More scholarship opportunities for children to attend ANY desired school close to their home. Not a fan of putting a child on a school bus at 0630, or earlier.
No, funding charter school come at the expense of public schools, no private school should be funded by the government. We should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead.
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.
Yes, and pass a voucher system to allow people to make a choice in where their children can go to school

Yes but there cannot be a lottery system.
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
this doesnt make sense
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.

@9W4DZWFIndependence10mos
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
Yes, the provide an opportunity for students to thrive in non-traditional learning environments.
YES, they provide an alternative choice if the current school is not a fit for your student. i know one family who split their kids into three different schools, public, charter and stem by their own interest and need. it is great to have the ability to do that. a charter is generally smaller, but gets by on the same budget per student that the state provides. I think they then have the ability to provide a more specialized learning not in most public environments.
Yes, but abolish any uniform requirements for any attending those schools.
yes, there should be more opportunities to be able to choose a certain area of knowledge to study at younger ages as well as more opportunity to have a more diverse learning experience
Yes, children and their parents should have the freedom of choice. Then have the money follow the child.
Yes, but not at the expense of tax payers or the public school system.
Yes but not at the expanse of public schools, therefore I'd prefer improving and investing in current public school organizations, but I am not diabolicly opposed to all charters.
Yes but the government should not fund them
Yes, but we should also focus on improving the current public school system.
Yes, Parents have the right to choose where to send their kids to school.
