I think that the school has the right to take your dog if you're not taking
care of it or abusing it or not letting it do it's work. A lot of people do
things like that and I don't think it's right because a lot of time and
expenses are dedicated to guide dogs and guide dog training.

First and foremost, GDB does *initially* retain ownership of the dog, but
handlers can request ownership after a year. I have never heard of a case in
which ownership was denied by GDB. I would not exclude GDB from your list of
schools just because of this.
    Second, whether or not the school retains ownership, in my opinion, is
not the major issue. A bigger problem is when schools come take your dog
from you without discussing it with you first.
