Michelle Rhee accused of sending eldest daughter to $22,000 elite private school

A well-known education campaigner, who has made much of her own profile as a 'public school mom', has been accused of quietly sending one of her own daughters to an exclusive private school.

Former Baltimore teacher Michelle Rhee, 43, known for her aggressive work to reform public school education in America, has been accused of sending her eldest daughter to $22,000-a-year Harpeth Hall, an elite private girl school in Nashville.
Rhee and her spokeswoman have repeatedly refused to address the allegation adding more fuel to the fire.

Rhee has two daughters, Starr, 13, and Olivia, 10, who live in Nashville with her ex-husband Kevin Huffman, who is also the state commissioner of education.

She splits her time between Tennessee and her home with second husband Sacramento Mayor and former NBA player Kevin Johnson.
