[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amy Carter was absolutely miserable at her school.  Politicians should do what is best for their children.  Last I heard, Obama wasn't running the DCPS.[/quote]

Not that it matters all that much, PP, but please provide citations to sources documenting Amy's misery, PP.  Be sure that the evidence supports your position that Amy's misery was due to attending a DCPS school, rather than simply, say, being a middle schooler or daughter of the president.

Politicians should align the interests of their children and the interests of their country.  What's best for their children should be what's best for their country as well.

Last I heard, Obama appointed Arne Duncan secretary of education.  Last I heard, the DC budget and all legislation is subject to congressional approval.  Last I heard, democrats control the senate.  If the President wanted to run DCPS and the DCPCSB, he could.

According to Harry Truman, passing the buck stops at the White House.

Warren Buffet speaks the truth.  If we made private education illegal and assigned every child to a public school by lottery, the public education problem in this country would be solved quickly.

Amy Carter was not allowed outside for recess at Stevens.  The secret service felt the playground was too close to the street.  If the Obama girls attended a DCPS school (or charter for that matter), it would be a security nightmare.  Public schools can't choose their students, they can't allow the secret service access to admissions decisions, there's nothing to stop a terrorist from moving in bounds just to get access to the school.  In addition, few public schools in DC have the same kind of setbacks and other security features that Sidwell has.
