More city teachers than public pick private schools

Teachers make the same choices we make, only they have more insight - and more money than some who don't have a choice?:
"The new paper, issued by the Washington-based Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, says that 29.4% of public schoolteachers who live in the city said their children attend private schools, compared with 23.4% of all families in the city. The data come from answers given by people who were selected to answer the 'long form' of the 2000 census questionnaire.
Nationwide, the authors said, 21.5% of urban public schoolteachers send their children to private schools, compared with 17.5% of urban families in general."
