As long as the PRC writes into the contract of their ministers that school tuition is waived, what is the problem? PRC families being large it would seem to save about $5-6K per year per kid. Then the problem is solved......

That would solve the problem, if a lack of funds is what caused the Pastor not to send his kids to that school.
It would not solve the problem if the Pastor simply preferred to homeschool, for whatever valid reasons of Christian liberty he had. Maybe his wife just plain enjoyed teaching at home, or they had a lot of plans for educational field trips that are not compatible with a school schedule, or he wanted them to learn subjects not available in the PRC school. There could be a dozen other reasons that are legitimate, and which one it is really doesn't matter - and most of the possible reasons contain no necessary insult to the PRC school. And I don't think he really owes anyone an answer for why he wants to homeschool, though he should probably nicely offer one without apologizing for it, as a means of keeping peace.
In summary, the PRC folks who (evidently) have their knickers in a bunch over this need to get a life.
