Do you support charter schools?

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.

If parents want their child to go through private school, they should have to pay for it. It should go nowhere near tax payer money.

Yes, but not at the expense of funding public schools. And while we're at it, how about we get rid of the Catholic school system.

No, independent schools are known to alter/artificially inflate marks for students, quintessentially creating a "pay to play" system

Yes, but the parents/guardians of the student attending private schools should be the ones funding the school.

As a tax payer I do not what to pay for both independent and public funded schools. I think independent schools can exist I just do not want to pay for them.

Yes I do. Every student's situation is different. For example, if the independent schools have better programs for kids with certain disabilities compared to what the public schools have, then by all means yes I do support them. I was once a kid with a learning disability so I understand.

Yes but only if public education still has proper funding and children who can't afford private education still have good opportunities to graduate and be educated.

Improve public systems and focus on a cohesive model of care for all students. Student success is more successful when it is a collaborative approach rather than a tiered system.

Yes, but only because they can provide support for students that the public school is not currently able to provide for

Yes, as long as they are able to meet all curriculum expectations in high-quality environments without tuition

Personally No, but they should remain legal, but require all private schools to be strictly non-profit.

Ok to have as an option for people but need huge improvements on public schools, more staff and higher wages

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.

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.

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

yes, not at the expense of funding public schools and still having a focus on improving public schools and educational workers and teachers wages.

Private schools and public schools should have alignment in quality of education being imparted. If one wishes to enroll theirchildren in private school they can go ahead. But if one cannot afford -- they should be able to have an option to go to public school expecting the same standard of l
Outcome.

We should have a fully funded public education system. If someone wants to seek a private education it should be completely funded by the user and seek zero public funding, but must still follow the rules of the canadian education system

Yes, only if their non profit and there should be more publicization of education than privatization.

I think Canada should adopt the charter school method where the schools are private but the kids have an intrinsic value. Rich or poor a price per head in funding from the government and force schools to compete for better education by drawing students.

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.

i dont even know what it is

i dont get them

Neutral on this issue

I think it is okay to have a balance of both but have more public.

Only if the if curriculum is managed by the same governmental body that manages public education of the region

it's a school

Yes I do support them, don’t have any problems with them, but I do not think that they should change all schools into private schools

I'm ok with it how it is

We should imrpove our public schools, and education should not be privatized

yes because some of the teaching styles could be more helpful to some children

i think that there are pros and cons to everything.

Not against it, neither I support it.

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.

That depends on the "independent school" case and point do I agree with say for examples residential schools then no

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.

No, we need to invest those funds into supporting the diverse range of needed student support and support personnel in the public system.

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.

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.

I do support independent schools, but we must improve public ones, for children who cant have pritave education life, better.

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.

We need to eliminate political bias in our schools so that public schools are actually about learning valuable skills

I do not support independent schools. Unless of course they are for religious purposes. Otherwise, I want it all to be public because then the rich would be forced to invest in public schools to collectively improve the education for all children.

Yes but they have to be privately funded and they must follow the provincial and federal standards for education

Only if they are available to all potential students and absolutely not, if they are based on religious proclivities.

I believe that supporting independent schools are good, as long as they teach what is best for that particular subject, and that it is a good subject that should be learned about more.

No, we should not privatize education and we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead

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.

Independent schools meeting all regulations can be approved as long as there are numerous choices and its publics choice to choose what

Not at the expense of funding public schools and we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead

i dont really care, i think private schools and public schools should be equally fuded if can and focus on the education of students, any problems of bullying if there are any, and paying teachers well

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 - they should be able to have their own curriculum and with no funding/oversight by government.

I support increased independence of schools but, I do not think that schools should be entirely independent and should still receive funding from the government.

No, education should be public. Every child and teenager should have access to free, quality public education.

Yes, and we should bring schools to a high standard of practical education, teacher wages and student support.

Only if their not religious. we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages.

I never used to be for private school, but seeing the difference between my friends children who went to public school vs private school is very eye opening. Every private school young adult is thriving, they do better under pressure, they handled covid better, the have more ambition. My friends with public school kids have young adults that are lost and flailing in life. I now think I’ll put my kids in private school.

I dont support them, but dont mind them either. But I also think, everybody has a right to a education regardless.

Don't affect me.

Depends on what they’re teaching

Yes, for now. But more focus should be given to increasing the quality of public schools so that parents do not feel the need to send their child(ren) to a private school in order for that/those child/children to get a decent equation.

what exactly is an independent school?

I support the fact that it an option.

No, education should not be privatized, and we should focus on improving public schools and teacher wages instead

There should only be privatized education for those who NEED a privatized education, otherwise it’s mainly upper class students who don’t necessarily need to get a privatized education who are enrolled in them.

Yes and No. Education from K-12 ought to be top-tier teaching, nationwide. There need not be private vs public education -- that is ludacris. All students ought to receive a whole & diverse education.

What are independent schools

Schools need more acknowledgment of complex historical events Canada has taken place in and the world

Yes, but they should be monitered and should not recive the majority of funding

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.

Whats independant school

it is not relevant to me

i support rape of animals and children

cmon man thats to easy

yes if they stop everything from becoming woke.

yes because people would have a better education

Independent schools should still remain open; however, this should not result in a lack of funding for public schools.

Yes but only if privately funded

Dont reallly care

i ont know

yes, if they are not getting more then the public schools.

Yes, but public schools should have better rules in place, and become a better place in general.

As long as students are learning everything they need, it's alright.

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.

What the heck is an independant school?

I don't really have an opinion on this matter
