These kinds of allegations really get under my skin. Why do all politicians who have anything remotely to do with public schools have to send their kids to public school? Isn't the reason that we all work so hard to reform the public school system because we think it doesn't quite work right? I think you'd be hard pressed to find a parent who'd run any kind of risk with their child's education if they could afford not to. That's not being a hypocrite. That's being a good parent.
