Public-school
Teachers Know Best --- They Send Their Kids To Private Schools
By
Joel
Turtel 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. The study
also found that more than one in five public-school teachers
send their kids to private schools.
In the biggest cities across
America, the statistics get even more startling. In Washington,
D.C., Baltimore, and 16 other big cities, more than 1 out of 4
public-school teacher's kids attend private schools. In some
cities, almost half the public-school teachers do this. For
example, in Philadelphia, 44 percent, and in Cincinnati, 41
percent of public-school teachers sent their kids to private
schools.
Yet, across America, only about
12.2 percent of all parents who are not teachers send their
children to private schools.
Now, why is this? Public school
authorities keep telling us that they give our kids a good
education. Yet they send their kids to private schools?
Well, teachers know best in this
case. They actually work in the public schools every day. They
see the kind of 3rd-rate, often mind-numbing education children
get in these schools. Public-school teachers love their children
like all other parents do. They want the best for their kids.
So, is it any wonder that so many teachers send their children
to private schools?
These statistics should be a
warning signal for parents, a red flag waving briskly in the
wind. If your children's teachers are sending their children to
private schools, should you be keeping your kids in public
school? If the soldier-teachers in the public-school trenches
tell you that there is something very wrong with these schools,
you should, for once, be listening to them.
Actions speak louder than words.
The fact that so many public-school teachers send their kids to
private schools should be all the proof you need that it might
be wise for you to look for education alternatives for your kids
elsewhere.
If you think you can't afford an
expensive private school, you're happily mistaken. Joel Turtel's
book, "Public School's, Public Menace" tells parents all about
quality, low-cost Internet private schools. These private
schools are a great new resource for giving your children an
excellent education at an affordable price.
