Charter schools are tax payer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. In Germany charter schools may only be set up if they do not increase the segregation of pupils by their parents’ income class. Private schools are supported financially by government bodies, comparable to charter schools. The amount of control over school organization, curriculum etc. taken over by the state differs from state to state and from school to school. Academically, all private schools must lead their students to the ability to attain standardized, government-provided external tests such as the Abitur.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@B2CSJDMIndependent5 days5D
yes, primary because of schools that give those that struggle in regular schools do to various reasons, a second chance in a safer environment.
@9K39GG2Free Democratic11mos11MO
Yes, but only if the school population shows no sign of discrimination by the school selection committees.
No, that particularly segregates children from each other. Schools need to have the same standard overall in a country.
Yes, but the school program must be identical to the national program OR more advanced (for particularly gifted students).
I dont understand this well enough
Yes, I approve of their presence but preferring that students attend public schools
Yes, even if it "increase[s] the segregation of pupils by their parents’ income class."
@gabehwkns4yrs4Y
Yes, but public school needs to be overhauled and the funding for charter schools should come largely from the states.
@4JYTC7M4yrs4Y
No, except as research labs for colleges of education
@4Y3DHZC4yrs4Y
Yes, only if the quality of education is equal to or higher than public or other private schools
@8QDSNZY4yrs4Y
No, but they can exist as long as they don't interfere with public schools
@8FDNNMS4yrs4Y
I don't have an opinion one way or another.

@88LK76J3yrs3Y
Yes and privatize grades 9-12
@88LK76J3yrs3Y
Yes and abolish grades 9-12
@88LK76J4yrs4Y

@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Nationalize all educational institutions (e.g. schools, colleges, universities, etc) in the U.S. and ensure free and public education, where a High School diploma or a GED shall be one of the requirements to attend a college or university
- K-4, 5-8, 9-12 grade levels
- Monotheistic religious education should be introduced (or reintroduced) as a school subject
- Socially useful school subjects should take priority over other subjects, while any non-socially useful class subjects shall be optional (in the form of electives)
- By the U.S. law, every public school must be required to establish 20 as the limit on the number of students per classroom
@8JTDV5W3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if they are non-profit, not at the expense of funding public schools, and are not religous
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, because education should not be privatized, and we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead
@8GBB4FJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but schools that fail need to be held accountable.
@4BPXZFJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only when there is proper oversight by the state.
@2PR69DM4yrs4Y
No, broadband should be nationalized, guaranteed, and all education online only
@85Z5SQ34yrs4Y
yes but we need to focus on public schools as well
@87W9GJ44yrs4Y
Yes, only if they're non profit and don't affect public schooling
@89SH3SL4yrs4Y
Yes, but transition them to private funding
@89SH3SL4yrs4Y
No, government should not fund education
@7VXCKJ24yrs4Y
Yes, and make all funding in form of vouchers to parents to make the best decision for their children.
@EthanHars4yrs4Y
Regardless we need education reform
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, if they are non-profit but not at the expense of funding public schools
@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
Yes, but our public education should also be improved
@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for non-profits and our public education should also be improved
@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
Yes, but only non-profits and our public education should also be improved
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they are non-profit and the funding for improvement of our public schools is not compromised.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, but not at the expense of funding public schools and only if the charter schools are non-profit
@8FPLGKD4yrs4Y
No, for-profit charter schools are too unstable due to the number of children that are left without a school when one gets shut down. Non-profit and rural charter school options have valid implementations, though.
@8H9WHD94yrs4Y
I went to a charter school and it was a shelter for all the rich kids of lanikai.
@8J4H94B4yrs4Y
i dont really know what this means
@LangworthyUS9th4yrs4Y
I fully support federal school choice voucher program. Parents can send their children to private schools, charter schools, religious schools, or homeschool
@8LSVCGK4yrs4Y
Yes, but with no gov't funding nor the expense of taxpayers and public schools
@8NZXHQG4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should also be focusing on improving our public schools.
@8PMF46F4yrs4Y
Parents should have the right to send their children to private school, K-12, but on their own dime or through scholarships/loans, not at the expense of public education and the taxpayer. So yes, charter schools should be abolished.
@8TKFNNS4yrs4Y
Yes Education is super important for everyone including Self Education.
@8VJQ9QW3yrs3Y
Just get the government out of education completely
@8Z3NQVS3yrs3Y
Yes, But only if they educate ALL individuals like public schools.
@93ZP8QG2yrs2Y
Yes, but not at the expense of funding public schools. State funds should be directed toward improving our public schools, education programs, and increasing teacher wages.
@99G2ZRR2yrs2Y
Yes, they can be for-profit but also must have input from parents regarding expenses and costs.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if a voucher is used instead of a lottery
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, and our entire education system should be privatized. Charter schools, Military schools, and religious schools teaches our kids values and responsibility.
@92RVS893yrs3Y
Only if charter schools stop taking money from public schools while also cherry picking who they admit.
@8ZM5S5G3yrs3Y
yes somewhat because it gives people the rights and the freedom to express themselves
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, our entire education system should be privatized - BUT, non-profit. Kind of like the Salvation Army.
@8FCWXTC4yrs4Y
I do understand what this question is asking.
