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.

I think that would be Ross Elementary at 17th and R NW.
Like who cares
Exactly!
I’m sure Progressives like Barack and Michelle Obama will send their little girls to one of the many fine D.C. Public Schools.

How about:
Malcolm X ES
1351 Alabama Ave SE
Urban public schools are holding pens for the underclass minorities and cash cows for the Democratic Party teachers’ unions. The Obamas want their girls to get an EDUCATION. So off to a pricey private school they go.
Only Republicans can be hypocrites. We should all know this by now.
Haven’t they been in WDC with their Daddy??

Shouldn’t this columnist be investigated, audited, probed, marginalized, condemned, destroyed, dare I say it, even executed as an enemy of the state?

“Where will the Obama girls go to school?”
Who cares.
no, i think that due to size of population of most big city schools, a smaller, private school would be more controllable.
They attend a private school now and I’m sure they will in DC too. I won’t trash them for that.
Looks like intern material to me.
I expect that those expensive private schools normally give some pretty sweet financial aid subsidies for black applicants who are qualified.
Does Obama have vouchers for this?
My evil alter-ego over on DU sure will, though!
No doubt the administration will start out in January passing a resolution such that ALL America’s children may now attend snooty private schools on the taxpayer’s dime. Right? Right???
I mean, it’s only fair.
