Where Do Urban Public School Teachers Send Their Kids to School?

                              


This brings us to the fact that urban public school teachers are about two times more likely than non-teachers to send their own children to private schools.

About 11 percent of all parents – nationwide, rural and urban – send their children to private schools.The numbers are much higher in urban areas.One study found that in Philadelphia a staggering 44 percent of public school teachers send their own kids to private schools. In Cincinnati and Chicago, 41 and 39 percent of public school teachers, respectively, pay for a private school education for their children. In Rochester, N.Y., it’s 38 percent. In Baltimore it’s 35 percent, San Francisco is 34 percent, and New York-Northeastern New Jersey is 33 percent. In Los Angeles nearly 25 percent of public school teachers send their kids to private school versus 16 percent of all Angelenos who do so.

A 2007 Heritage Foundation study found that 37 percent of representatives and 45 percent of senators with school-age children sent their own kids to private school.

And of course the Obamas chose an elite private school for their girls; the same one that Chelsea Clinton attended. And speaking of Obama, his entire education  career, from around 5th grade on up, was in private schools.

The point isn't that anyone chooses a private school. That's their freedom. The point is that the public school system is deplorable, especially in the urban areas where the teachers there won't even place their own kids in those schools. 

Here in CA, because of the liberalism (Common Core Standards and sexualizing of young children, while dismissing the respect and authority that every parent should have and should be present/portrayed in all situations), it's not an option anymore, urban or not, if you care about about their souls, education, and socialization.
