A recent survey found that only eleven percent of Nevada residents would send their children to public district schools if they had other options. Nearly half of respondents, 48 percent, would choose a private school, 23 percent would select a charter school and 15 percent would opt for home schooling. Three percent chose a virtual school for their children. Assembly Education Chairwoman Bonnie Parnell defended the state's educational system, saying the legislature has made progress in offering alternatives to a traditional public education, including measures supporting the creation of charter schools and home schooling programs. "I'm a strong supporter of charter schools," she said. "We realize that the traditional public school setting is not for all children." The poll showed that about 55 percent are strongly or somewhat favorable to the idea of charter schools.
