Originally posted by SAEactive2. Teachers enroll their children in private school because it's a better atmosphere for a proper education. In public schools, you find a lot more overcrowding, social promotion and behavioral problems that you rarely find in private schools (parents are a lot more proactive in disciplining their children when they're forking out several thousand dollars a year in private school tuition which they could forfeit if their kid gets expelled).

This pretty much sums up my reasons for sending my son to private school although I teach at a public school. Another big factor for me was religious education. I wanted God allowed in my son's classroom. I don't mind paying tuition when my son gets a lot individual attention (smaller class size), his own textbooks/workbooks/arts & craft supplies , and even physical discipline (w/parental consent) if/when he steps out of line.
