Public or Private

For many years I have wondered why some public school teachers put their own children in private schools? Is it because they think that most of the other teachers are as bad as they judge themselves to be, or is it that they don’t think they are as good as they believe they are? Either case, I think they should be fired, because if you don’t believe in what you are doing, you really can’t do a good job.

I went to public schools,as did all of my family. Why? Because, that is where you get the best education. With the exception of the nuns who teach for religious reasons most of the other  private school teachers are usually people who weren’t able to get a job in public schools, which have a much better pay scale. Private schools also give children a warped view of life as most of the children who are slightly different, have a different religion or set of beliefs are usually excluded, so the private school student doesn’t have contact with a large segment of society. They probably miss some of the most interesting people.

Now we have many politicos who do the same thing. They put their children in private schools, but claim they support our public schools. It is really sad we elect such double faced idiots to office. Do as I say, not as I do, is their motto.

Why don’t we get some brains and start electing people who really walk the walk and don’t just give us lip service.

Let us start by asking each person who runs for public office which public schools they, their wives and their children either attend or attended.
