Obama Girls' Elite D.C. School

[giantfan1027]

powgie you get out what you put in, regardless of what school your in

i guess your just not putting it in...

[tigapatriot]

i wonder if that's the same school obama cut the voucher program to so his daughter would not be friend with the poor children

[ShroudedFury]

Posh gits lol.

This is a school for the "rich" kids...why would any rich kid go to a public school? Many public schools are shitty, and all the rich, including any and all the presedents, know this! There is a bigger picture here than just security, this is saying alot about our failed public school systems in America.

i go to a "rich scool" we pay big bucks for tuition

[HighHorse07]

Yeah - same. I'm so sick of this. We pay huge tuition but so what??! Taxpayers aren't paying!

[powgie]

I agree. I'm not American, but I moved here and I attend a public school. In my country I used to attend a private school-- and although my school here in the US ranks among the best in the state, I'm not leaning much of anything. What kind of AP course shows 'The Magic School Bus' as part of the curriculum?.

I will never understand how the US is such a huge,rich country and at the same time they have all these people who are not getting a decent education and basic knowledge about the world.

How can people not notice the hypocrisy? Politicians don't even pretend like the entire public school system they run isn't a total malinvestment. Of course their malinvestment is good enough for your kids, but no way in hell are they going to expose their own kids to the same failed system they force you to finance.

As a conservative I wholeheartedly agree, the teacher unions like all other unions in other industries have completely annihilated and used these institutions as staging grounds as a public pig trough to gorge themselves on the abcks of american taxpayers.

LOL at the thought of the Obama girls going to a public school. Do you have any ideal how much harder it would be for the secret service...not to mention all the other kids at the public school.

Everytime I hear someone calling Obama a hypocrite for this, I shudder at the stupidity.

[unnst]

Well, LastTrueLiberal had a point, but I don't think Obama can be called a hypocryte for sending the kids to elite school. the reality is different in the upper tax bracket of society. some people in the lower end just don't get it.

[sealhunta]

also, There is a secutiy reason to send them to a private school

[jkendrick27]

Thats a really ignorant comment, or shall I say not well examined. These are not normal students anymore, as I parent if I were in their position, I would've put my children too. Stop politicizing the children, for my childrens safety, well being, and comfort I would've done the same. It is unfair to subject those girls to a public school where they would be hassled by the media on top of the other students. Dealing with other children and swithching school is already difficult enough.
