Public schools no place for teachers' kids - Washington Times


12.2% of parents send their children to private school.

1 in 5 public school teachers send their children to private schools.

In large public school systems the percentage is much higher.

"In Washington (28 percent), Baltimore (35 percent) and 16 other major cities, the figure is more than 1 in 4. In some cities, nearly half of the children of public school teachers have abandoned public schools.

In Philadelphia, 44 percent of the teachers put their children in private schools; in Cincinnati, 41 percent; Chicago, 39 percent; Rochester, N.Y., 38 percent. The same trends showed up in the San Francisco-Oakland area, where 34 percent of public school teachers chose private schools for their children; 33 percent in New York City and New Jersey suburbs; and 29 percent in Milwaukee and New Orleans."
 
Why do people with insight into the public education system choose to disproportionately send their children to private schools?
 
simply put, the education is better, the probability of exposure to TB and other diseases is less, and the children are more likely to associate appropriate behavior due to association with the same social and economically "statued" children..

I wouldn't want my kid in any city public school. All public school systems are not created equally you know.
 
my wife teaches in the public school system and my kids attend public school...if you apply for a job in our public school system and the powers that be get wind of the fact that you're sending your kids to the catholic school? your resume goes in the circular file.
