Hence the rise of home schooling and private school enrollments. Public school teachers are the most likely to send their own children to private school. Speaks volumes.

Whilst growing up in the U.K. did you receive any education supplied by the state, or were your parents in the fortunate position to be able chose to send you to private schools, or even more fortunately, had the time to home school you?
