Where Do The Presidential Hopefuls Send Their Kids To School?
I never know whether this stuff is worth mentioning, because my personal feeling is that no parent should ever send their child to a school that he or she feels is crappy. And I don't think that public officials should sacrifice their childrens' education for the sake of politics, but I have fielded a bunch of emails lately from people who are asking:
What kind of school choice have the current crop of Democratic candidates exercised for their precious bundles?
Barack Obama: His two daughters attend private schools in Chicago.
Hillary Clinton: Sent her daughter to the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington. *** UPDATE: Per this blog entry, note that Chelsea Clinton attended public schools in Arkansas when her dad was governor.
John Edwards: Daughter and son attend Chapel Hill-Carbor (N.C.) public schools.
Bill Richardson: No kids.
Anyone know details on the others? Drop me a line at joewilliams-at-dfer.org.
