Independent schools are taxpayer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. In 1994 Alberta became the first province to allow independent schools. There are 23 independent schools in Alberta and it remains the only province which enables them.
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
No, we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
No, and education should not be privatized
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
Yes, but not at the expense of funding public schools
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
Yes, and our entire education system should be privatized
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
Yes, but only if they are non-profit
Yes but focus on improving public schools, increasing wages, a holding a minimum standard of curriculum for each school whether private or not
@98RZW5R2wks
yes, but not at the expense of public school funding, but also teachers should be paid more
@98RSN4N2wks
maybe, unless if they mistreat and abuse the students
@98HS3TZ4wks
Neutral, I support both public and independent schools
@98G2FVP1mo
I just think the schooling system should be improved for everyone
@98D5K322mos
I think we should abolish our current school system and come up with a new one that encourages free thinking. Our current system is outdated.
@98B6SV52mos
Yes if only they achieve an higher level of education.
@97ZD6PJ2mos
Yes, and the government should support private schools with funding as well.
@97Z4JJN2mos
this does not matter to me
@97YLGXD2mos
there should be LDAS only schools.
@97WDKK82mos
No, prohibit private schools and focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead and nationalize the education industry
@97TD5G73mos
I don’t mind independent schools.
@97N7ZRV3mos
I do support independence schools as long as the curriculum is guided and basically falls the fundamentals of the country that they're in a public school is an essential part society because it allows children of any social or financial standing to get a education a private school however might be a little bit more drastic as it may require the parents of these children to fund their education so in that respect I do support Private schools but only to the extent as I have set above that the school follows the curriculum of the location and country that it is in
Me personally I do not really care. Since I do not go to one I wouldn't know if it is good or not.
@96XP5LJ3mos
don’t really stand with or against it
Do not know enough about this
@96VPR233mos
Yes, private school should receive ZERO tax dollars If they don't want the private system they should be paying for it themselves. Why should my taxes go towards a private program my children don't have the opportunity to go to?
@96SDSJ23mos
I don't really support anything in particular.
@96RTBYZ3mos
Schools need more acknowledgment of complex historical events Canada has taken place in and the world
Yes, but religious schools (any religion) should not receive public funding, and not at the expense of funding public schools.
Yes, but they should be monitered and should not recive the majority of funding
@96HP2BL4mos
Depends on what they are teaching and what they do. It should at least cover up the content taught in public and schools that are recognized.
@96HJ2SS4mos
Whats independant school
it is not relevant to me
@96FFFDS4mos
i support rape of animals and children
@96D9GTS4mos
cmon man thats to easy
yes if they stop everything from becoming woke.
@96D85B24mos
yes because people would have a better education
@96BXTLR4mos
Independent schools should still remain open; however, this should not result in a lack of funding for public schools.
@96934R54mos
Yes but only if privately funded
@967V2B44mos
I choose to remain neutral on political subjects
yes, if they are not getting more then the public schools.
@95Z3J9T4mos
Personally have no opinion on that topic
@95QK3SN4mos
Yes, but public schools should have better rules in place, and become a better place in general.
@95LYCML4mos
As long as students are learning everything they need, it's alright.
@95K5YQG5mos
No. Independent schools/school choice programs come at a great cost to our public school system, and we need to be investing more in public schools, rather than those who jack up tuition for kids to attend.
@95DQ67S5mos
What the heck is an independant school?
@95CV59P5mos
I don't really have an opinion on this matter
its all up to the parents
@959RYHY5mos
I don't have an option on independent schools.
