The Thomas B. Forham Institute did a study in which they found that public school teachers are twice as likely to place their children in private schools than any other parent is. In fact, more than one in five public school teachers actually send their children to a private school. These statistics are even more startling whenever you look at the teachers in America's biggest cities. For example, in Washington, D.C., Baltimore and 16 other large cities, more than 1 of 4 public school teacher's children attend private schools. In some places almost half of the public school teachers do this. For instance, in Philadelphia 44% of public school teachers send their children to private schools. In Cincinnati 41% of public school teachers send their children to private schools. This stands in stark contrast to the fact that in America only 12.2% of the parents who are not public school teachers actually send their children to private schools.

You may be wondering why this is happening. Why do public school authorities tell us that they give our children a good education and yet they send their own children to private schools?

Well, in this case, teachers really do know best. They are the ones that work inside of the public schools on a daily basis. Thus, they can see the third rate, mind numbing education that our children receive. Since public school teachers love their children just as much as any parent does, they want the best for their children just like any other parent does. Therefore, it really should not be any wonder that these teachers are sending their children to private schools.

This information should serve as a red flag for parents. Take it as a strong warning sign that if your teachers are sending their children to private schools then your children probably should not be left in the public school system either. After all, these teachers are trying to tell you that something is very wrong with the public school system. Make sure that you listen to them this one time since actions speak louder than words. The fact that there are so many public school teachers who are sending their children to private schools to be educated should be all the proof that you need to look at other education alternatives for your children as well.

You may be thinking that you simply cannot afford to send your children to a private school but this is not true. There are a lot of high quality, low cost private schools available online. These schools are a wonderful new resource for you to use to provide your children with a great education at a price that you really can afford.
