My father was my elementary school principal. Before that, my sister came through the same primary school with her father as principal. The same rules applied, we both got our a$$ whipped at school, then we had to contend with moms when we got home. My mother still attended PTA, even though her spouse was there. There were not any conflicts or issues...
Then, my mother taught in the junior high setting. My sister and I went to the same school where she taught. The same thing applied, however, my mother made it perfectly clear to her collegeagues that she only wanted to discuss matters with them concerning her children at the appropriate time...ie planning periods, not over the water cooler.
I attended Wonderful's "private" school too.
I had to get my buttocks back into the public school. LOL
But, I've seen it where my elementary teachers had their children in private schools. These private schools were established for only CERTAIN people, and I mean CERTAIN. So, that too is another factor to consider.
When I started the thread, I thought about what I've heard colleagues mention. One of our administrator's child attends private school. "How can you teach someone in a system, but you do not have enough faith/trust in that system to educate your child?
