Agree with you 100%. Some of the Freepers in this thread are embarrassing themselves. They sound like a gaggle of cackling old maids with nothing better to do than to gossip among themselves about what school the neighbors down the street are sending their child to.

This looks like a very decent school for Barron and I'm sure the Trumps made the best choice out of the ones available to them. I would have loved to have gone to a school like this as a child. I don't understand the snark about the soup kitchen visits either. Since when is giving children some exposure to those not as fortunate as they and some community service a "liberal" thing? When my wife went through Catholic school, she too did things like that, for instance she was a "candy striper" (hospital volunteer).

Finally, I support Melania's choice to keep Barron in NYC to finish out the current school year. When I relocated for my job, I did the same thing. It was nearly six months before my wife was able to follow me to my new location. For us, it was the right thing to do. People don't realize how disruptive it can be pulling kids out a school midway through a school year and planting them into a completely different and strange environment.

I agree 1000% with your very excellent post. How many men working in corporate life move and leave their families behind for several months? Happens ALL THE TIME. And now poor Melania will be in the fishbowl. As someone who has lived in NYC for going on 40 years, apartment living (especially on the 22nd floor) can be a blessed escape from protesters, paparazzi and the like. She's going to miss that now, poor lady. But she'll be a beautiful, elegant, traditional first lady and for that I thank God!

I just got a private email suggesting that Barron is being sent to this school because he is autistic or special needs. Why these people all come to me privately is something I’ve never understood and of course, he got an earful in return.
