Although that is the case, the Secret Service has said in the past that it is much easier to secure children in a private school than in a public one.

in the same vein, this is not just about the girls. it is about whatever school they attend. if they attend a public school, let's say in SE DC, that entire school, their staff, the parents, their children, the community will be scrutinized in ways that may do long term detriment. the obama family will be critiqued in way that will probably be perceived as unrealistic or unfair no matter what choice they make.

In past elections, particularly regarding candidates who have made public school/school voucher plan a key component of their campaigns, the post-election question has arisen "what will you do with your children" vis-a-vis their education, given your stance during the campaign.

To my knowledge President-elect Obama has been a strong supporter of public schools but is amenable to to the voucher concept. I don't think he made it a hardcore issue in his campaign either way, so I'd think anything beyond surface-level "criticism" for whatever choice the Obamas eventually make would be largely irrelevent anyway.

I was hoping that they would come into Baltimore to attend Bryn Mawr (my bias towards my alma mater)!

Nice! I know a bunch of people from college who went to Sidwell Friends. What a great school!

My little from the sorority went to Madeira. Sen's description sounds about right.

Why do you think Senusret recommended the Obama's send their kids to public elementary schools but private schools from 7th grade on?




He didn't come right out and say it, but around 7th grade the blacks start to hit puberty and most of them turn into full grown niggers. At that point they are uncontrollable and they destroy the schools.

*sigh*
i wish prunetacos had mailed you an envelope.

it'd be so nice if asshole GCers could off each other.
