The key characteristics mentioned (teachers working longer hours, small class sizes, setting their own standards, receiving private money and sponsors) are all traits typically associated with charter schools. Voucher schools may also receive private funding, but typically do not have control over their own standards and may not necessarily have small class sizes. Private schools and religious schools may have small class sizes and control over their own standards, but may not necessarily work longer hours or receive private funding.
