The safety of these youngsters is the most important thing to me. I hope we’re never told where Malia and Sasha are enrolled in school. It’s not something we need to know. And certainly not a decision that the American people have any business trying to influence. I just hope Michelle can find an elementary school in the DC area she feels comfortable with.

It will be a private school because of security concerns. This is a non-issue.

While I think everyone should attend public school, which would improve all of them instantly, the safety issue is most important so the secret service needs to weigh in on this one not us.

where my children go to school, has always been a matter for my husband and i. the same applies to my president elect and first lady obama! (just saying their titles makes me smile!)

I would hope a Highly advance Private school where they can get a first rate education. Also the Safety factor………….it will be easier to keep them safe from harm at a Private School.

Agree with the family privacy aspects. It’s not for discussion, IMO; a waste of our time.

Given the threats on the president-elect, there is no question. Private school will protect those kids. That’s the only thing that matters.

The decision is up to Mr. Obama and Mrs. O, I say. My concern is for the girls’ safety. But I feel that way about all children. I want all American children to have the best education possible and have them be safe while being educated.

I, like Joan, believe it is none of my business. They Sasha and Malia have two extremely capable and wonderful parents that will make the right decision for them. If Obama could win the presidency I think he is equipped to make the right decision for his children.

Because of security reasons, I suspect the girls will attend private school such as Sidwell. And, if they are attending the Chicago Lab School( which I was not aware of until Joan said it), they are already so above public school readiness level that it wouldn’t help one bit to put them in public school. Besides, the Obamas know what is best for their children; it is none of our business.

I didn’t send my son to public schools and I doubt the Obamas will either. For reasons of security, privacy and also focus on education.

I would not presume to have an opinion on this topic. They should go wherever their parents decide is the best place for them.
