The public system does not serve the students with Learning Disabilities well enough. Public funding should be provided for private schools that support students with learning disabilities.
@B2PLKLD1wk1W
Ok to have as an option for people but need huge improvements on public schools, more staff and higher wages
@B2MXWGH2wks2W
I do support independent schools as long as they are not funded by the government at all because people pay them to increase their education circular.
@B2KLS5M2wks2W
Yes, but support for independent school should be balanced with investments in public education to ensure that every student, regardless of income, has access to a quality education.
@B2GRGV53wks3W
Independent school are okay but they should not be funded in any way by the government. They should be paid in full by those attending.
@B2FXBYQ3wks3W
Yes because people need to learn some how, if you have the money to go to a privite school then you should if you want.
@B2C6CJZ4wks4W
We should have both private and public schools. I also think the public sector should have a complete overhaul and teach actual life skills as well as better direct kids to a career path at a younger age
@B2BV4ZM1mo1MO
yes, not at the expense of funding public schools and still having a focus on improving public schools and educational workers and teachers wages.
