Politicians like choice for themselves

The Heritage Foundation conducted a study on How Members of Congress Practice Private School Choice. They found

"The Heritage Foundation updated this survey and found that 37 percent of Representatives and 45 percent of Senators in the 110th Congress sent their children to private schools—almost four times the rate of the general population." (Emphasis is mine.)

Politicians are happy to send their children to private schools, but very few support vouchers.

Are there any politicians on the national level who homeschool their kids?

I've heard that U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-Penn) and his wife Karen homeschool their six children.

And recently Presidential cannidate John Edwards announced that he and his wife would be homeschooling their children during the campaign.

I haven't seen a list.
