“Where DO Obama’s girls go to school?”

the Chicago Tribune sums up:

“My kids have gone to the University of Chicago Lab School, a private school, because I taught there,” Obama responded. “It was five minutes from our house. So it was the best option for our kids.”

The lab school is the best HS in Chicago. Far superior than Ignatius or Chicago Latin.

I may be in the minority here, but if the Catholic schools can't survive on their own, they nevertheless should not become wards of the state through "vouchers."

Charter schools, single sex education, and a focus on discipline and learning basic skills are what is needed in most public schools. Of course, your average idiot will tell you that THEIR public schools are great, although test scores will say otherwise.

Ideally, public schools, ie WELFARE schools, would be abolished for all but the very poor, but this is never going to happen.
