What Happens When Ideology., Hypocrisy, Reality and Children’s Welfare Come Together?

I totally support the public schools … but!!!!!!!!

What happens when the best of parents meets reality?  If the schools are SO bad for other people’s kids that they merit serious reform, how can a parent send her own kids to the same schools?

Emanuel To Send Kids To Private School

CHICAGO (CBS) – CBS 2 News has learned where Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s three children will attend school this fall.

The mayor repeatedly has said that he and his wife would make that decision as a family and now they have.

Sources familiar with the decision said that Emanuel’s son and two daughters will be enrolled in the private and prestigious University of Chicago Lab School in Hyde Park.

“If I made a decision about my children that was not as father, but as mayor, first of all my kids would know it – because it is exactly what we said, they have a sixth sense about that – and I’d be less as a father,” he said. “I would know it and the public will understand, then I’m less of a person and I know they will appreciate that. I have absolute confidence in that.”Emanuel and his wife chose the Lab School rather than the Chicago Public Schools he’s made such a priority both during the campaign and first months in office.
