Where do Public Teachers Send Their Kids to School?

The main groups blocking School Choice in the USA are the teacher's unions. For years they have done all they could in battle after battle to stop parents from having a choice of where to send their child to school. A recent study by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute found that public school teachers are twice as likely as other parents to send their children to private schools. Why might that be?

The National Center For Policy Analysis writes:

In what seems to be a compelling argument for school choice, the study found:

• In Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, 25 percent of public school teachers send their children to private schools..
• In Philadelphia, 44 percent of teachers send their children to private schools; the percentage is similar in several other cities -- Cincinnati, 41 percent, Chicago, 39 percent and Rochester, 38 percent.
• In the San Francisco-Oakland area, 34 percent of teachers send their children to private schools; following close behind are New York City and the New Jersey suburbs, with 33 percent, and Milwaukee and New Orleans, where 29 percent of public school teachers choose private schools.
  

I think competition in the area of education is critical to improving our children's education.
