That might be true, I agree, but the teachers from Yale, Columbia and the one who did a year in Oxford in my town, all taught at a large urban public schools in our neighborhood. The one who went to Oxford, then Columbia said he couldn’t tolerate the kids at the rich private he taught at earlier, (a neighborhood he himself grew up in at one time) they didn’t really need the help, the parents helicoptered the entire time, they felt entitled, etc. they had money for tests, trips,etc. but yes, I’ve seen many pass up “free tuition” to teach at urban public schools because they wanted the easier students (in their mind)at private or the suburbs.

Yes, you have to know your environment with schools, but many break the pattern, that’s what makes life interesting. : )
