Obama's children: Off to private school at a cost of $29,000 each
By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist
Barack and Michelle Obama's children will attend Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., it was confirmed Saturday. It's a private school that charges (gulp) $29,000 a year in tuition.
And that doesn't cover the cost of textbooks or other services from the school. You can see the eye-popping numbers at the school's Web site.
In KC, that's double what the most expensive private schools -- Rockhurst, St. Theresa's, Barstow, Pembroke Day -- charge.

Publik Edhukayshun is for the little people other bitter clingers.
Only the finest caviar for families of the Politburo.
So much for change, huh?
Do you really think that that is the tuition that a Chicago politician is going to be charged? They might send the bill, but getting the check might be painful.
Exactly.
My guess is he is against vouchers for the common workers.
Aren’t taxpayers going to be paying for it ?
That is Change you can believe in!
He’s a “man of the people” doncha know....
“My guess is he is against vouchers for the common workers.”
People like us are mere white trash to The One, even many of the people who voted for him.
Of course, grandma will be provided with FREE HEALTH CARE, FREE MEALS, limo rides, party dresses.
Nanny my foot....FREELOADER!!
Jimmah put his money where his mouth was in supporting teachers’ unions by sending Amy to DC public schools.Will this mean that the NEA and other Communist teachers’ unions won’t be working for...or sending $$$ to....Hussein ‘12 Headquarters?
There might be a $500 sibling discount (seriously).
It's worth every penny and if they were my girls I'd send them there too.
If I could...
Some freeper threads are beginning to sound a lot like they came from the daily kos!
I don’t blame him.. but since he realizes public schools stink, will he actually do anything about it? Vouchers? Take on the teachers’ union?
My understanding is that his grandmother's needs are minimal.
All grandma requires is a little space on the mantle.
Don’t like Obama and what he stands for but I would put my kids in private school also if I lived in Washington DC.
Quakers.
