US Attitudes on Key Public Education Issues

Highlights from the results of its annual Gallup poll of U.S.attitudes on key issues in public education:

 Charter schools probably offer a better education than traditional public schools.
Most Americans don’t know about the Common Core and those who do don’t understand it.
The significant increase in testing in the past decade has either hurt or made no difference in improving schools.
Students’ standardized test scores should not be used to evaluate teachers. Teacher evaluations should be available to the public — and so should evaluations of doctors and police.
High school students should be able to earn college credits via the Internet while attending high school.
Lack of financial support continues to be the biggest problem facing public schools.
