I would be fascinated to see the real statistics on that. Being a teacher, I really doubt they could afford private schools for their children.

dingram, annie is correct -- and that fact is well known and has been documented before: many public school teachers, all over this country, do send their own children to private schools. BTW, private school teachers earn much LESS thank public school teachers.

Average teacher pay around here is darn good and most are two income households. It's certainly possible to send a kid (or even two) to private school on say $80K/year combined income.
