Charter schools are public schools that are very much independent from a school district, meaning they have less restrictions, but in exchange must "improve academic performance." Most Charters are therefore run by private, nonprofit organizations, or by local teachers, parents, or activists.
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has one of the greatest number of Charters in their district. LAUSD Charters were seen to have outscored regular LAUSD public schools in almost every category, faring them better academically. (more)

I would prefer a regular public school.
Who pays. If it's vouchers with public money. No way.
I prefer private schools over public schools.
Home schooling may be the best. At least you know everything that's being taught. And you know that gallons of cool-aid aren't being forced down your kids throat. The drawback is he might not know how to put a condom on a cucumber........................I would prefer a regular public school.
i have a friend that goes to a charter school.she says its not any diffrent but it is.
much diffrent
I would prefer a regular public school.
i know people who went to them and hate it....id rather stay with my friends...I would prefer a regular public school.
I'm quite content with my school, of course, I've not had the experience of going to anything but public school, so I suppose I'm just used to it. I mean, it's not fantastic, but that's not because of the kind of school, it's more because I have a short attention span, and I find being indoors and doing the same thing each day to be exhausting. Winter is brutal, since miuns 30 degrees C is not great weather to eat lunch outside in. But fall and spring are lovely, and I'm alright as long as I get some time outside.I prefer private schools over public schools.
I went to private school and my kids do.I would prefer a regular public school.
Ive been to both Charter schools and public schools. really they arent that great. They are cheap and so picky. like you get fined for EVERYTHING!! no joke. and really most of my teachers didn't teach me a damn thing... it was a useless waste of my time... Plus (I really gotta be honest) one day I like sluffed all day and just roamed the hallways nobody DID anything about it... and a ton of teachers saw us. no it was NOT on the last day of school either. we had like four weeks left. so yeah the teachers were dumb.I would prefer a Charter school.
sounds like a more fun learning environmentI would prefer a regular public school.
It was good enough for me!I would prefer a Charter school.
NEA dominated public schools are socialism at its worse -- low quality, low motivation, low results. Just about the only thing there's a lot of is left wing propoganda mixed in with this and that. One of the worse wastes of community facilities are schools. They ought to just give parents money to educate their kids and turn the school facilities over to someone who rents them to whoever wants to teach (aka something like charter schools).I would prefer a regular public school.
i go to a charder school! :-(I would prefer a Charter school.
Proven to out perform the public schools which are loaded down with bureaurcracy.I would prefer a Charter school.
I go to a charter school for arts and it's amazing! This was my first year there and i used to go to a public school. For me, the coolest thing was that the academics can be geared and related to arts, or whatever the charter school specializes in. It gets kids who are alike together and teaches them in a way that appeals to them. It's soooo much fun!I prefer private schools over public schools.
i prefer private because i go to one myself.i been to both public and private and i just think that the private ones are better
but i find them quite good
because it makes all the students equal
so you can't really tell if they are rich or poor
and the blazer might be quiet uncomfortable but you move on
and im not speaking of all public schools
its just that the ones i went to had a poor standard of learning
well they are pretty expensive
and its always important about how the child feels in the school
and also its imprtant with comfortability
so its always usually how the parents feel which sometimes is caused by stupid reasons
i actually chose which school to go to
my mum didnt care just as long it didnt reach the limit of money it can cost
thats when i first came to australia
buht the school wanted us to pay $7,500 for a year
so then we went to a private school and they were cheaper
now i just ended up going to a private hs even though itsa more expensive then a public buht iono somehow i ended up going there
I would prefer a regular public school.
public school worked fine for me.I prefer private schools over public schools.
Or home schoolingI would prefer a Charter school.
See i'm biased i go to a charter school. I've never been to a public school but i wouldn't transfer over for anything. I love my school. I love my teachers and i love the type of people at the school. I have a closeness with some of my teachers that you just can't get anywhere else. I know if am having a bad day i can go talk to that teacher and cry a little and she'll listen. Our teachers love what they do and i learn so much from them, wether it's talking to them one on one or in the classroom. The school lets me learn about things i'm passionate about and because of that i learn more because i actually want to. I think charter schools are great things, when used correctly. I just happen to have found the best charter school ever!I would prefer a regular public school.
