Teachers in urban public schools send their own children to private schools at nearly double the national rate of private-school attendance, according to a new study by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute in Washington, D.C.
Nationwide, 12.2 percent of all families in urban, rural and suburban settings send their children to private schools. But 21.5 percent of urban public-school teachers send their children to private schools.

This makes you wonder what they know. It also causes me to ask why, if they truly believe in the organization from which they draw a paycheck, they would not be willing to have their kids go there? Do they really believe in what is being taught or is it just a job? Interesting statistics.
