[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Came across this article that mentioned a survey indicating that if given the choice 90% of public school teachers would send their kids to private school and am wondering how accurate that is in my own county.

Here’s another similar article but different author from a couple of years ago:

‘Why I’m a Public-School Teacher but a Private-School Parent’

I think this is a false premise, TBH. Lots of people might say they [i]would [/i]do something, if price was no object. I would send my kids to GDS if money was no object but I would not send them to a random parochial school, nor would I bankrupt myself or take on a second job to swing private.

Basically, I'd be concerned if public school teachers were actually choosing private at any cost, or any level of sacrifice, but asking someone what they might do in an alternate universe in which they presumably also have a pony and a moat is not reflective of anything but wishful thinking.
