Do you support independent schools?
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.

If they are non profit its a non issue, but we must focus on improving public schools and increasing teacher wages and improving our curriculums instead.
@9WBRK8D4wks4W
No, we need to invest those funds into supporting the diverse range of needed student support and support personnel in the public system.
@9W8LXZM4wks4W
Tuition should always be free, but people should be able to get the education they want. Funding should not be taken away from public schools.

A single strong public system, no subsidizing Catholic schools. Option to divert tax dollars to private/parochial schools.
@9VKMP3G1mo1MO
It is important to improve public schools and increase teacher wages, but I also support independent schools and the resources that it gives to people who send their children to them.
@9VDFPG41mo1MO
I do support independent schools, but we must improve public ones, for children who cant have pritave education life, better.
@9TR533J2mos2MO
There should always be a certain level of government framing in independent education, the school program should be reviewed to see if it respects the public education’s values

In an ideal world it would not imply a scholastic hierarchy as it is not about intelligence and more about economical status.
