Public teachers send their kids to private schools because:
1. They know the public schools have poor standards and by and large are pure sh— when it comes to educating children.
2. They make enough money to send their kids to private schools. They make enough money because they are public school teachers.
3. They love their children and do not want them to be subjected to the “Clockwork Orange” that is public education.

Not to mention being the daughter or the son of a teacher is often not a pleasant experience.
Especially, if your mom or dad is not well liked.
I don’t think 3 is true at all. I think most teachers are happy with public school indoctrination. Hell, they are the ones doing the liberal, global warming, touchy feely, zero-tolerance, anti-religion, anti-history, pro-feminist, pro-gay indoctrination. But your #1 and #2 are dead on.
I agree that the few conservative teachers fit your #3 in spades, but I’m not so sure most of those sending their children to private schools are conservatives. I think it is about education, discipline and very much about safety.
It is much less likely for your kid to suffer a beat down in private school, because the guilty kid will be summarily expelled. Kids don’t get away with sassing and threatening teachers in private schools the way they do in public schools. You don’t have the playground crime or the massive drug use in the higher grades. All that stuff is policed and violators are suspended or expelled. It is a bit of different world in private school.
All this, the public school teachers well know.
Your three answers in post 16 are all excellent!
