[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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:

No. Use the better public teacher salary to pay for private school tuition. [/quote]

I make less in MCPS than I did working in private because MCPS refuses to acknowledge a teacher’s full years of experience. Add in the tuition remission, financial aid, smaller classes, more planning time, cleaner facilities, and shorter school year it’s a great job! I only left because of the pandemic and I’m doing all I can to get out of MCPS and back into private[/quote]

Similar situation here. I applied to MCPS and to a private school. The private honored my years of experience and offered higher pay. MCPS would only honor 8, I believe.

I moved my own children out of public and they now attend private schools. I’m happy with both decisions.

But to answer the question: I used to work in public schools. I’d guess 40-50% of the teachers sent their own children to privates. [/quote]
