President-elect and his wife are doing what all good politicians and their families do, send their children to private school. Race and party affiliation are irrelevant, all that matters is their children do not attend the same kind of school as the majority of people who voted for them. They can use any excuse they want but the bottom line is the same, the schools that we work in and send our children to are not good enough for their children to attend. They want to fix the schools but what do they know about them except what they hear from others, there is no way to know what is going on in public schools unless you are involved in them.
From the AP:
"Michelle Obama visited at least two well-known private schools in Washington on Monday as she and President-elect Obama prepare to move their two young daughters to the White House in January.
The soon-to-be first lady toured Georgetown Day School in the morning and Sidwell Friends School, which Chelsea Clinton attended, in the afternoon. In between, she spent about two hours visiting the residential portion of the White House with first lady Laura Bush. Their husbands met privately in the Oval Office.
Michelle Obama flew from Chicago to Washington and back separately from her husband, who did not visit the schools. It was not clear whether the Obamas will look at other schools, and their staff provided no details.
The Obamas' children, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, now attend a private school in Chicago. There are some public schools in the District of Columbia that the Obamas could consider, including a few in affluent northwest Washington that have been recognized nationally as Blue Ribbon Schools.
