Well, maybe not the exact same
school, but a similar school, i.e. a private school. In case you hadn't noticed,
President Obama, who is a staunch supporter of public schooling, sends his kids
to a private school. In other words, he is a staunch supporter of public
schooling for...your kids.
The last president who pledged
to send his children to a public school was George Washington who then lived out
his life without having any children. Is this a great country or
what?
And don't be so quick to accept
the excuse that they're the President's kids and we have to make sure they're
safe.
Remember, these kids travel in
a bulletproof limousine, are surrounded by crack Secret Servicemen (okay, and
women), who are armed to the teeth, pledged to take a bullet for the First
Family, are backed up by every military asset within 100 miles except possibly
for Luke Skywalker and they're not safe in any Washington, D.C. public school?
but your kids are?
You should be able to use your
tax money to pick the school of your choice. Give every child a voucher that can
be used in any school the parent chooses. Take it out of the education budget.
Less kids, less money. Everyone agrees, except the teachers' unions. Schools are
for educating children. They're not supposed to be a jobs program For
teachers.
And don't listen to the
'experts' who tell you that you can't possibly know enough to pick the right
school for your child. As a doctor
who was once a teacher, I can tell you 100% positively and certainly that it's
no more difficult to pick a good teacher than it always has been to pick a
good pediatrician. In fact, it's easier.
