Dear ChocChipCookie,

Here are a couple of quotes from one article I found while googling on that subject - public school teachers who send their kids to private schools:

"A study done by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute found that nationwide, public-school teachers are almost twice as likely as other parents to send their children to a private school."

"For example, in Philadelphia, 44 percent, and in Cincinnati, 41 percent of public-school teachers sent their kids to private schools."

Ouch. That's gotta hurt.

My sister, a public school teacher, sent her son to a Montessori preschool. $500 per MONTH. I know she would love to send him there, or somewhere similar, for kindergarten and beyond, but they don't want to pay tuition anymore. So, she's seeking out the "cream of the crop" in her school district and "interviewing" two principals next week. Sheeesh. And she BEGGED me to not homeschool. Go figure.
