Chelsea Clinton went to Sidwell Friends, a private Quaker school. So did Archibald Roosevelt and Tricia and Julie Nixon. And Joe Biden's granddaughters are at the school right now. Will Michelle and Barack send their daughters Malia and Sasha there as well once they get settled in the White House?
According to an article in yesterday's Washington Post, many Washingtonians expect them to seriously consider Sidwell as well as other fancy privates such as Georgetown Day School, Maret, and National Cathedral School (Al Gore's girls went here). After all, Sasha and Malia are currently attending the private University of Chicago Laboratory Schools.
But what about public school?
Barack certainly talked about improving public education in his campaign speeches. According to the District of Columbia Public Schools boundary map, a family living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would be assigned to the Francis-Stevens Educational Center, a K-8 in Foggy Bottom. That's only a mile from the White House front steps. And there's precedent: Jimmy Carter's daughter, Amy, went to Stevens Elementary School before it merged with Francis Middle School to become a K-8.

Sidwell Friends private schrewel probably, just like X-42 Impeached.
Like who cares.
i think private school is more appropriate for protecting the children of a sitting president.
Does it matter? They will be right @ home in DC
Well it would be embarrassing for the First Kids to be rendered functionally illiterate.
Private schools all the way for hypocrite liars like Obama and the other democrat party vermin, not the horror show government schools that black children are ordinarily forced into.
Doesn’t the Beloved Leader believe in public Education?
I don’t care. As long as they are protected. After all, they are the future President’s children.
Carter sent his daughter to a Public School in the District.
Why is it so impossible to suggest that the first Black President should be obliged to pick the schools where most of his citizens use.
So he will oppose vouchers for DC kids and send his kids to a private school?
Yes, they will be hypocritical, just as the Clintons and Gores were, because they don’t support school choice for the non-rich residents of D.C. (or elsewhere).
“Doesn’t the Beloved Leader believe in public Education?”
Yes, for the sheepl
I suggest Michelle homeschool them. That’ll keep her plenty busy.

TO be like daddy.
Why?
These girls will have Secret Service protection, wherever they go.
Are you suggesting that they would be more at risk in an overwhelmingly black school in an overwhelmingly black neighborhood?
Which DC public school serves the White House district? They belong there.
Private schools for me, but not for thee.
Is there a madrassa in the neighborhood?
