Rich people send their kids to wonderful schools:
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's children will attend the private University of Chicago Lab School, where his wife works.
Of course, everyone is free to send their children wherever they wish. What's interesting about Duncan choosing this school is that it does not practice any of the policies that Duncan has promulgated. It is a progressive school, founded by John Dewey. No Common Core. No evaluation of teachers by test scores. No performance pay.
Duncan attended the prestigious University of Chicago Lab School. The teachers are unionized. President Obama sent his daughters there. Mayor Rahm Emanuel sends his children there.

Our children, on the other hand, are in a cockroach infested school to prison pipeline.
And still we don't rebel, other than in ways which harm no one except ourselves.
