I’m pretty sure that people in the Thompson’s position have a “nanny” that cares for the children when needed during the Thompson’s busy schedule. It’s great to take the kids with you sometimes - but not practical & not great for the kids to do it always - and there are times when Mrs. Thompson attends events on her own.
My thought on this is that maybe she tells the kids they are going to “school” when they are under the care of someone else. Little kids would think this would be fun & maybe that’s what Jeri meant by “school”.
This brings me to another point. The time is coming very quickly when we are going to have to start uniting behind a candidate or we will not be able to defeat Hillary. As I said in another thread - the media is determined that our candidate will be Rudy Guiliani. If we, as conservatives, don’t want that to happen - we’re going to have to not waste a vote in the primary on a second tier candidate. I love Duncan Hunter, but I’m afraid if I vote for him in the primary - that will, in the end - enable Rudy to be our frontrunner & our eventual nominee. This is the worst thing that can happen to us. Nitpicking on Thompson or Romney only helps Rudy.
Please see this thread for an excellent commentary on the subject:
