Do you support charter schools?

Depends on what they’re teaching

I believe that independent schools are for the people that want to be there. There is no "right or wrong" way to teach. It would depend on what the students need. However, these vast learning styles are still not being accommodated. Schools should focus more on their students.

Canadian independant schools provide a higher standard of education than public schools. We should not support foreign schools in Canada that attract and educate foreign students.

yes in a way but we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher and staff wages

The entire school system needs a revamp teachers deserve more and so do the students they are the future period

Depends on what they would be teaching at the school, would they be held to the same standard as every other school board?

Yes, as-long as they are basing their education the same way, but I do believe independent and government owned schools should make equal a efforts to make learning a more comfortable and less stressful environment.

I believe public schools are perfectly fine but due to the inequality, it would be more beneficial if they could be more available to all individuals to receive a good level of education.

I don't really see the point in independent schools, unless it's specifically a religious school that only focuses on that religion

No, we should focus on improving our public school systems but we should not have to increase the teachers wages but provide better teachers and teach the teachers what they need to be succesful.

They have a higher education rate, but doesn't have the best social environment for younger children.

Instead of that public schools should have some extra classes and lessons which is needed for immigrants or students who believe in different religious.

No. They interfere with the education of our children and teach dangerous new ideas that weaken society and our country.

Each child should be provided funding and it should follow them

Yes, if they are employee-owned.

As long as there's good affordable education for all. No private school should be teaching hatred, racism, sexism or intolerance.

No, we should not profit off of education, we should focus on improving public schools, increasing teacher wages, and student engagement instead.

This is a non-issue for me

Schools are in general In rough shape

Yes, but tax independent schools to fund public schooling.

No, we should focus on improving public schools and removing grants for private schools

Yes, and our entire education system should operated privately, funded publicly.

Yes as long as they are required to adhere to provide coal standards of education and curriculum.

Support the question but the school should be able to add their own cultural and language elements as long as they are following the base curriculum

Yes, but with certain requirements and quality benchmarks

Yes, but reform the education system into a semi-privatized system.

Currently not informed enough to make a decision

Independent schools should not be subsidized. They should be fully funded from tuitions

Yes, but only if they follow provincial and federal guidelines

Dissolve any religious school board systems. One publicly funded system only

I believe people have a calling based on the greater good of humanity and the world as a whole. If by fees we restrict the greater good........the people who are meant to heal...govern...assist...etc will Not ever get a chance...think... other countries value this calling...

Yes, but only if they are non-profit and do not get government funding

No we should focus on improving our schools and increasing teachers wags and should not be privatized

Yes, School Choice, vouchers, let the money follow the kid.

I think people should have the option to choose, as long as the curriculum is consistent between independent and public schools.

No. All schools should have the same curriculum, should not be influenced by wealth.

Education should be free and top priority to government

No, if there is a need for an independent school to serve a child's needs, that should be a part of our education system. If it is for religion or status, I do not support those schools being funded by taxpayers money at all.

Aslong as the quality is up to par and parents are given choice for their kids

No, we should focus on improving public schools and providing clear paths for employment and further education

I support them if they are non profit and do not affect the funding of public schools

Oh gawd. Is this another federally funded/CBC survey designed to mock Alberta?

Anyway, yes I would support this only because more of it might force the public systems to work responsibly and efficiently. I work in the public education system so I can say that. Some teachers I work with do not care at all about the students, parents, or the hard working people who fund the system. Only about themselves and their entitlements

No, privatizing industries just leads to corruption and abuse. Improving public schools, and raising teachers wages would be best.

Homeschooling

Yes, as long as they adhere to Federal standards of Education

No, and government funding for private schools should stop in order to properly fund public education

No, focus on improving public schools, increase teacher wages and no one should profit off of education.

yes and no. I’m on the fence

Yes but funding should be very limited
