President of Berkeley Teachers Union has kid in private preschool

[Anonymous]

I’ll admit this is funny, because it looks soooo bad for the teachers union. I can see why parents are frustrated.

Almost every public school teacher I know has their kids in private or parochial school. This is nothing new. Get a life, OP.

Private preschool? Does Berkeley have free universal preschool? A lot of jurisdictions don't.

The fact that this hypocrisy is so widespread only makes it more outrageous!

Even if it doesn't, why would private preschool be SAFE but public K, for instance, be UNSAFE?

You know what's perfect about this? One of the other preschool families ratted him out.

Why is it a hypocrisy? Teachers are like anyone else and they can make choices about their children's educations. We can't force them to choose public school just because they work for a public school system. Just like we can't force the people who work for GE to only buy GE products and we can't force people who work for McDonald's to only eat McDonald's food.

Probably because their older kids are stuck at home

It may be for child care.

The issue is he’s fighting to keep public schools closed while sending HIS kid to private school. If it’s so easy to learn from home, why not keep your kid there?

because preschools are staffed by poor people who aren't members of unions?

How many kids in the preschool? In the classroom?

I mean, if you want to make comparisons do so all the way.

+1. If you’re the leader of an animal rights group, it’s probably not a good idea to walk around in a fur coat...

That wasn’t his argument

"We'd heard for a while that he sent his kid to private preschool and we've been hearing him make crazy claims at the school board meetings — it was 'too dangerous' for schools to open because kids wouldn't wear masks. Meanwhile, his kid is wearing a mask at school," the group said in a written statement.
