They are working toward being advocates for school choice. This means students should be given options to where they will attend school. 

The Republican party also advocates for vouchers and charter schools. This also would allow parents to chose a school for their child, regardless on their zip code. ]]> 2018-09-20 23:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/v_gablein/a0eqyr74cvzj/wish/284172660 v_gablein https://padlet.com/v_gablein/a0eqyr74cvzj/wish/284172693 The Democratic party believes that every child should have access to a world-class education. They also believe we should be investing more into public education.

They also believe that schools should be providing quality pre-kindergarten education in all schools. This further benefits all children and their future. Democrats are also a little hesitant on supporting charter schools. They believe charter schools take away funding from public schools.

One side is the powerful figures who see public schools as a means of profit. The other side are parents, teachers, and students who want to improve public schools. 

The Green Party thinks that each child should have equal access to education. They also believe all student loans should be forgiven, as well as providing free college tuition to all qualified students.]]> 2018-09-20 23:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/v_gablein/a0eqyr74cvzj/wish/284172738 v_gablein https://padlet.com/v_gablein/a0eqyr74cvzj/wish/284172745 The Libertarian party believes that a child's education should be determined by their parents. A parent should be able to chose how their child will receive an education, with no input from the government.

They also believe there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all education. A child's education should be determined based on their needs and their current situation. ]]> 2018-09-20 23:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/v_gablein/a0eqyr74cvzj/wish/284172745 v_gablein https://padlet.com/v_gablein/a0eqyr74cvzj/wish/284184142 Bryant, J.

In my opinion, I think they both have opportunities that are beneficial for students and their families. In particular, I believe the school choice option is a great opportunity for students and their education. Students should not be forced to attend a school based on their zip code. 

The Libertarian party and Green party both present interesting thoughts regarding a child's education. If we were to have a Libertarian government, I feel that a parent would have much more say in their child's education. This could cause some tension, as I would believe they would be actively involved in how their child's classroom might run. I imagine them giving opinions to teachers that would benefit their child's learning experience.

The Green party also presents valid ideas that would be beneficial for all. We should be focusing more on the teachers, students, and parents rather than profit from schools. It would be a nice thought for loans to be forgiven, but I can't see that happening.]]> 2018-09-21 01:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/v_gablein/a0eqyr74cvzj/wish/284193308
