[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]In a country of 350 mm people, the fact that two of the last three Presidents chose to send their daughters there is extraordinary. And it is obviously an excellent school too.[/quote]

Where would Presidents send their 6,7,8,9,10 and 11 year-old daughters if they lived in the White House (in D.C. the last time I checked)  .... local primary school.[/quote]

Well why on earth not? Amy Carter attended an inner city public school. The Obamas visited several schools before choosing Sidwell Friends.  It was well publicized at the time.  Why pretend that an amazing school isn't amazing?  What purpose does that serve?[/quote]

LOL! Amy Carter went to Horace Mann, in the Foxhall/ Spring Valley neighborhood of "DC" where the average home sells for 2-4 Million Dollars. Technically, 1/4 mile from the DC/MD boarder, so yes, she did go to a "DC school"  however,Horace Mann with its IMF, World Bank, and upper Middle Class families in general is hardly "inner city". H.M also only goes to 5th grade and then you are stuck.[/quote]
