Poll: 9 Of 10 Oregonians Dis Public Schools

Nearly nine out of ten Oregon residents would send their children to private, charter, or virtual schools, or educate their children in a home school setting if they had the decision-making authority, according to the results of a public opinion survey released today by the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, the Cascade Public Policy Institute, and several other state and national organizations. Eighty-seven percent of residents polled would opt for schools other than regular public schools, according to the survey/Cascade Policy Institute. More here.

Question: Do you prefer alternative schools (charter, virtual, parochial, home) to public schools?
