DC ‘education’ liberals need to feel DeVos’ intent gaze on them before pulling stunts like this.
There’s a huge difference between income and spendable take home. For many, $33k is just an unreachable dream.
Multiply that by her 4 kids. That’s $132k. That’s nothing short of laughable.
Actually the tuition is $39,360/year/child. Though not noted on their website, I know from personal experience that some private schools have sliding scale for second, third, fourth child. Some private schools offer merit scholarships off of admissions testing, though I saw none of that on SF website.
As SF is a private school, things may be more negotiable that what is publicly stated.
Her husband is a successful attorney as well.
If you can't publish fake news, just make the headline fake. This seems to be a trend in journalism. And a tiresome one.
I can drive to D.C. in just under four hours from my house.
It may as well be on Mars, it’s so different from where I live.
You can literally feel the money bubbling up through the sidewalks at you. The locals are extremely smug....like the five most popular kids at your high-school, on steroids.
When I get to around Hagerstown, Maryland on the drive home, and once again see closed businesses and boarded-up buildings I know I’m back in the real world.

We (our representatives, that is) need to set the example by having our kids either attend public schools, with the attendant security that it entails disrupting everything, or commit to homeschooling. Or how about the new administration folks teaming up to buy an existing charter school? The city would never issue a new charter to such a group, or they’d take several years to do so, but they couldn’t revoke an existing charter!
Then to rub salt in the liberal wounds, they could invite kids from the neighborhood who have stable families stuck there to attend. A little diversity and opportunity.

Sure as shit if D.C. can make ‘mandatory service(s)’ *legal* (O’Care, etc.), the same can be done TO govt employees: Every program\service created MUST be utilized by any/all govt employee(s) and their immediate family.
Let ‘em be the guinea pig(s) first and foremost.
Okay, thanks for clearing that up.
Idiot “journalists”.
Yes, that's true, I was just offering the available figure.
$132,000/year in primary-school tuition is a "not like us" thing. When people are not like us, they don't have to care about a lot of the issues that affect us, such the price of food, the price of gas, crime rates, the cost of insurance, etc.
I don't think there's anything wrong with people's being not-like-us, but I do think there's something wrong with how much control they have over everything that affect us but doesn't affect them. We need both a diminution and a devolution in government power: either take the authority away from them entirely, or put it at the city or county level, where the people making the decisions have to live with the results.
You can say that again.
Okay, I looked her up. Beautiful young woman. Not my genre of music, though.
It’s not the kind of music I care for, either, but she is very nice-looking. She might be nice, too - I don’t know!

I take it you would favor that amendment a lot of folks want— That congresscritters be subject to ALL/SAME LAWS JUST AS WE ARE ???>
Oh, absolutely.
However, I would prefer even more that decisions be made by state representatives or county commissioners or city councilmember. I know some of my local officials are crooks - I see a particularly shady ex-county commissioner at the gym several times a week - but they still live here. They're personally affected by the tax rates, the state of the roads, the schools, the sewer system, and the crime.
LOL - tell me - why weren't there 'complications and risks' for Obama's children at Sidwell Friends School? Maybe our side isn't criminal?
Could it be the same reason Trump supporters were roughed up by thugs at our rallies but Hillary didn't have to deal with that kind of violence?
Have you seen the O'Keefe video showing how democrat operatives HIRED VIOLENT STREET PEOPLE TO ROUGH UP TRUMP SUPPORTERS...
THEN TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY RAN TO THEIR FOOLS IN THE MSM AND COMPLAINED ABOUT VIOLENCE?
Reminds me of the guy who killed his parents and threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan... We MUST NOT live in fear of Democrat thugs, their paid shills, their butt boys in the press, or the violent street people they hire to rough us up. To give into those forces is to accept totalitarians. Kellyanne should be able to place her children in any school - and if the school is afraid to democrat thugs - protection should be provided by DC police. It's NOT our problem that democrats are criminals...
That's the only quote that even hints at an issue, and it's ambiguous. Is the silence from her friends or the schools?
Even if it's from the schools, there are lots of reasons there could be hesitancy. For one, it's the middle of the school year and all of the good private schools are probably over-subscribed with waiting lists.
Kellyanne is working the refs by playing the victim - with very sketchy evidence. I don't blame her - getting your kids into DC private schools is a bloodsport - but there's a lot more implied in this article than is really there.
Don’t know which part of NJ you’re familiar with. Very few parts are Soprano’s territory.
Finding room for the children of someone with the title of counsel to the president is what DC schools are all about. And if it weren’t a concern, she wouldn’t have enlisted the help of the other parents in their current school. That’s how the Post got the story.
I am a retired public school teacher and my children could NOT attend public school today.
Liberals! The most intolerant are “liberals”!
