[quote=Anonymous]I have a relative who works in education, mostly advising public school teachers. Her own kids didn't go to public school except for a short time, and she frequently asks when we're going to move our kids to private school. On the one hand, I find it totally hypocritical. On the other, I guess she has seen enough of the bad that she has a strong opinion against public schools. In your case, I can't tell if your friend is criticizing public schools based on "rankings" and "academics," which some of your post discusses, or ability to actually close the achievement gap, etc. I think it's fine to criticize the achievement gap (it's true), but she should recognize herself that sending her wealthier kids to private is contributing to this problem.[/quote]
