Why Won't Barack Obama Send His Kids To Public School?

From the Free Turkey:
http://thefreeturkey.com/2008/11/10/public-education-for-all-except-for-barack-obamas-children/

As Obama’s transistion team lays the groundwork for a new adminstration, a concern closer to home for the President Elect has presented itself. Chief concern of self-titled Mommy-in-Chief Michelle Obama is the question of where their daughters Sasha and Malia will go to school.

Surely, the champion of public education will send his daughters to DC’s fine public schools. After all, this is a man who was elected on a platform of supposed government “solutions,” so it would only seem right that he would trust the government with the education of his children.

Or maybe not. Washington DC has perhaps the worst schools of any major city in the country...

Public schools are only for the uneducated and unwealthy masses. The truly elite can send their kids to schools which focus on education instead of drug use and violence deterrence and the truly elite can only sustain their bloodline's elitism in Corporatism, because all but the most wealthy (or most powerful, or most corrupt) are "equal" in their mediocre rationed income.

It is if he signs legislation making it more difficult for other parents to do the same.

Where do you plan on teaching? I hope it is a public school. But a private one is good too, they also need enlighten teachers. (I went to both).

Public high school (the one I went to, if possible!). Hope to teach government, economics, social studies and/or history.

Still trying to get an education myself on those topics though and fear I won't be able to give an adequate response if asked. I have a monotone when I'm bored, so it should give me a lot of incentive to create exciting and passionate lesson plans.

Many black Obama supporters and parents are going to get really fed up with his elitism very quickly. Schools are a very sensitive topic in D.C.

I'm sure you will do well with time and experience. And you may wish to lay low until you get tenure anyway. :)

Obama would be absolutely retarded to send his kids to a public school purely based on security concerns....surely you all realize this.....

[devil21]

No president in recent memory has sent the kids to public schools. Of course, security is an issue but in more than one way. They don't want other students harming the "first children" but more importantly, they can't risk the mixing of the "commoners" with the "establishment". We should all be aware by now that the elites keep strict blood lines and do NOT breed with the common folk. That would be nearly impossible to maintain in a public school setting.

lol at school vouchers

if a school takes government money, then its a government school.

How would vouchers affect current public schools?

By not sending his own children to public schools he is actually making those schools BETTER because they'll have less children to educate.

You're too belligerent to have a reasonable debate with. All you have been doing is swaring at me and telling me to grow up, because I disagree with your point. We were talking about Obama's birth and we come to this. Because surely, I must have "life experience" to talk about that. I never denied that I have a lot to learn, but I'm not talking about that right now. I've heard it before. You're just getting away from the original topic.

Also, how is it fake? His mom gave birth to him in a Hawaiian hospital. Instead of screaming, and telling me to grow up. Get rid of that pugnacious attitude of yours.
Do you act like this in real life too? It's quite ironic that you're telling me to grow up when you're the one shouting and swaring at me.

Oh yeah, thanks for the advice...

Its the principle of the thing. Obama is a socialist. Public schools are socialist institutions. Logic says that if Obama has so much faith in socialized systems then why doesn't he have the faith to send his own children to public schools, especially if they are good enough for the the rest of us? If children aren't safe in their public schooling systems then whats the point of having public schools?? Before Obama was even popular, his kids still went to private schools no? So what gives?

Same question goes for healthcare. Will people have the same trust in the socialized universal healthcare as Obama has in our already present socialized public schooling system? Will we really trust a socialized healthcare system??

The rediculous argument going on about Obama being Kenyan. Again it is based on principle. It has nothing to do with him being black. He could be from Scandinavia for all we care! Its the fact that he cannot show the proof and is being sued for proof to show the American people that he is a Naturalized Citizen which is one of the requirments of being the POTUS.

Again, if we do not abide by these guidelines, then what is the point of having any of it in the first place??

That's not entirely fair. The children of the POTUS have unique security threats not faced by typical students. Hell for that matter, the presence of such high-profile children probably represents an increased threat to the OTHER students. I don't think I'd neccessarily want my kid sitting in a classroom with the President's offspring day after day.

That doesnt really change just because they are sent to a private school. Either way, Secret Service is always close by and the same security risks apply whether public or private. I stand by my assertion that it's mainly to keep the upper-crust separated from the commoners. How else can you groom your kids for the same "public service" (a la Chelsea) while allowing them to mix with mostly the same people they will be "ruling" over later in life. It's a conflict of interest for the elite and god forbid one of the daughters happens to get a crush on a commoner or someone of lesser status.

[jsu718]

Well, the major issue with this thread is that people are assuming public schools everywhere are the same, and private schools everywhere are the same. Sure in the NE section of the country private schools are much much better than public schools, but that is because they can get enough students to afford good teachers and resources. In 90% of the country that isn't the case, so public schools are better. Yes, I just said that public schools most places are better than private.
The only time this is different is if the private school gets a "better selection" of kids based on some sort of specialization in their education.
Why? Because of this. When you have an area or "school zone" where all of the families are in the same basic economic level, there wouldn't be a difference. All the kids at either school would have about the same amount of exposure to culture and basic knowledge. When you have areas where people in the same area are of massively different economic level, then they don't mix well in schools. Yes yes, I know, not politically correct to imply that there is any difference in education level or the way people value education differently based on economic status, but it's true. That is why in more densely populated areas like the NE private schools make more sense, because then they can be separated despite the orders of the government, which works out better for everyone. There are plenty of studies that show this, but nobody is willing to say it in public. Schools that are segregated (usually because of natural separation in different areas) perform better. When there is a mix of races and economic levels then you have issues. Am I racist for saying this? I guess. I have had people claim that I was, but that is what the stats say.
