[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry this has taken such a nasty turn.  I love teaching and although I don't have children getting the tuition benefit I appreciate that it is offered as it builds community.

I work with some incredibly talented teachers, many of whom taught in the public schools but others with PhDs in their substantive areas who are well-qualified for the college level.  Lots of classic middle class folks with two teachers (my own case), or a teacher and civil servant -- not so much with the rich spouse model.  I live far out but I drive in and listen to audiobooks and generally don't mind the commute to get to teach at my school.

Our school has a great professional development/learning program and people really want to get better at teaching and are open to change if there's a better way.  The students -- who are smart and motivated and fun to teach -- do really well on AP exams, in college admissions, and come back to say they were extremely well-prepared.

I'm a public school graduate myself and had the most wonderful teachers imaginable, some of whom have been mentors to me in my teaching career and were supportive of a decision to stay in independent education.  There are great teachers at both public and private schools and I am disheartened that anyone would think otherwise. [/quote]
