American's support for charter schools has dropped significantly in the past year. But there is less opposition to other kinds of school choice, including vouchers, according to a new survey by Education Next. Education Next is a journal published by Harvard's Kennedy School and Stanford University. For many years, it has taken a survey of public opinions about education issues. This year, the report says that only 39 percent of people who took the survey wanted to see more charter schools a roughly 12 point drop from last year. The report also notes that opposition to vouchers has dropped from 44 percent to 37 percent. School choice allows public education funds to pay for schools or services that fit the needs of students. It refers to the idea of giving parents and students more choices about where to study. A charter school is a school that receives a special charter, or written rules, from a state government.
