Will Barack and Michelle Obama send their two daughters to a public or private school? Jay Mathews considers the question here.
The daughters attended the University of Chicago’s Laboratory School, a prestigious private school founded by John Dewey. Now that the family is headed to Washington D.C., the parents will have to make the choice between sending their children to the D.C. public schools or enrolling them in one of the city’s excellent private schools. When you are wealthy, you have these kinds of choices (so I’m told).
Recall that the Clintons sent Chelsea to Sidwell Friends School, a top-notch private school in D.C. Like Obama, Bill and Hillary oppose school choice for the rest of us.
