AFT NCLBlog

Check out the back-and-forth between Edspresso and The Chalkboard on whether public figures should send their children to public schools. While I think it's fine for folks to spend their own money on private school tuition, I do think that the standard-bearers for public education should send their children to public schools. And yes, that includes folks who work for teacher unions. Plus, as common sense and the research shows, folks operating at this level usually can afford to exercise "residential choice" and just move to a better public school district if needed.

I'd just like to put in my two cents:

Edspresso, with whom I'd never usually agree, has got it absolutely right.
