"Hey, just because Babydaddy sucked up to the teacher union for votes doesn't mean we're going to do something stupid like send our precious daughters to DC Public Schools. Those hellholes are for the regular people."

no congressmen, senators or whatever have their kids in public schools in DC. DC, at least from what I hear is full of illegal aliens and their empanada carts.

If you had options would you send your kids to Washington DC schools? Hell no. She would be a damn fool to do so. A suburban public school outside the city maybe, but no way do you put your pampered kids in a school like that. Barry himself would have been fine in a public school as a youth, but his kids are used to a different lifestyle.

As much as I dislike these people it doesn't make sense for the children of the president of the USA to go to a public school. It would probably be best if they were homeschooled in the WH for safety reasons.

But boy does it make him look like a hypocrite. Claiming to care about the needs of the “peasantry,” all the while sending his children to a high falutin school where they won’t be exposed to the “have-nots”. Typical limousine liberal.

From the GDS web site:

Mock Elections

Students participated in mock elections on Tuesday, November 4, held in the Forum at the HS and in official voting booths in technology classrooms at the L/MS. President-elect Obama won handily in both contests. See L/MS election photos here.

Public schools aren’t good enough for the President’s kids.

HEY, you snobby elitist socialist! If the DC Public Schools are “good enough” for 73000 students, mostly the type of folks you and your hubby claim to be “for”, then they are good enough for your brats...

What? are you afraid of the union-controlled septic tank schools with their rampant drugs, violence, and way sub-average performance? Gee - but they are “good enough” for the “other” folks...

The liberals always praise the public schools, and resent rich Republican conservative types who abandon the public schools to send their own kids to private school.

What type of example will the Obamas set?

My guess will be that they will go private school, and justify it based on security reasons. They will not say anything negative about DC public schools. They will say that security is better at private schools, and the Secret Service weighed in, etc. etc. Something like this will be said to justify them not going to public school.

Does everyone here know that the DC public schools are at the very top nationwide in per capita student spending? So money is not their problem.

It’s a shame that for spending the most money, they get some of the worst results in the classroom. It’s a dam shame.

What a great idea, Ayers-type schools.

Bernadene and Ayers could move into the White House and home-school the kids.
