Public schools get slightly lower marks from those Americans with children living at home. Among this group, 41% say public schools provide the best education while 47% say public schools are the worst.In 2005, 42% of all Americans surveyed by Rasmussen thought public schools provided the best education for children; today, 41% of parents with children living at home say the same, while that number rises to 50% when you include people who don't have children living at home.
Most Americans (54%) know a family whose children attend private school. Among families with children living at home, 62% know some who are in private school.
That's the opposite of what I assumed would be the case.
Interesting.
What happens to the views of parents whose children have grown and left home?

Familiarity breeds contempt?
Some of them care more about their taxes than the schools?
I was assuming that people whose children have grown would probably be less positive about public schools for a number of reasons....(not having to do with taxes -- )
