The NEA declined to comment.

The article notes that the reasons teachers send their own kids to private schools are more discipline, better academic achievement and overall, a better atmosphere.

After the Teachers drop their children off at their private schools, they go to their Union meetings and fight against accountabillity, testing, and try to get more Tax money, and
smaller classes. special loans to buy houses, raises, better benifits, etc. ect.

No wonder! One former Collier County, Florida, high school teacher described the schools as filled with emotionally handicapped, whacked-out students who spend too much time watching television, surfing the 'Net or playing video games, regretful and remorseful as a result of their parents' divorces.

And Collier will tell you we've one of the best school systems in the country! I'd agree that it ranks among the most expensive!

One of the network news programs (Nightline, I think) had a segment a couple of years ago about a public school principal in Washington or Oregon who doesn't send his kids to ANY school -- his wife home-schools them.

Isn't it funny that public school teachers get paid to teach others' kids, then turn around and put that salary into private schools. hm.

[Aquinasfan]

Nationwide, public school teachers are almost twice as likely as other parents to choose private schools for their own children

This has been true for at least the last 20 years.

Another interesting DC statistic:

There are 100 times as many administrators in the DC government schools (per pupil) as in the schools of the archdiocese of Washington, D.C.

Public schools no place for teachers' kids

This headline got my attention. After my wife had completed a few months of her first year teaching in a government middle school, I asked her what she thought.

"The school is fascinating," she said, "but it's no place for children."

This is the way it was or is.Even the elite politicians and leaders like Jesse Jackson are dead set against vouchers and yet send their kids to private schools. Could be they are afraid that the masses become educated they would not march in lockstep and would see through their scheme.
This same bunch cry about the deaths in Iraq which are terrible but yet they stand for abortion which kills 1.5 million innocent children every year. They scream about guns when alcohol and automobiles kill 5 times more people a year. These people target what they wish and there is no truth or honor in these infidels.They are liars,cheats and schemers and they use their followers to their benefit and then discard them/
