Maybe he will make them better and send them there but some of the private schools in this country are head and shoulders above the public schools so why not send your kids there if you can afford it.GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440065486838225307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-9366677057407009532008-09-10T00:06:00.000-04:002008-09-10T00:06:00.000-04:00I think it's a personal choice.

I think Obama is just doing what he thinks is best for his children....not putting down public schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-84440150699915607562008-09-09T21:48:00.000-04:002008-09-09T21:48:00.000-04:00I agree with dolce.

Private school is there for people who want that for their children. Obama is trying to help make public schools better for those who can't afford an alternative, or who don't want to.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349631448644661717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-80659057752929073042008-09-09T20:57:00.000-04:002008-09-09T20:57:00.000-04:00i don't really know that i'd judge so much on wher...i don't really know that i'd judge so much on where his kids go seeing as to how my mom works in the public school and loves it but i still went to a private high school. <BR/><BR/>because if that argument was to be brought up not only with education but with other things someone could easily look into the way that the mccain finances their own family and luxuries. <BR/><BR/>if that makes any sense, i'm not a good arguer, haha.Katelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994241556437259884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-22688692772291510962008-09-09T17:48:00.000-04:002008-09-09T17:48:00.000-04:00well, for the other perspective, i'm not really su...well, for the other perspective, i'm not really sure what mccain has done to improve public school education and meghan went to a private catholic school and bridget goes to one too (not sure if it's the same one). my brother, sister, and i went to private schools our whole lives and my sister went on to teach in a public school, which she is actively fighting to improve (because the GOP in california has cut education funding so bad, my sister has to buy her own supplies and has watched several of her colleagues get laid off). <BR/><BR/>as dolce said, i don't think that obama's sending his kids to private school is an indication that he will do nothing to improve public school education in this country if elected. nor would i hold that against mccain.an orange county girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269731495219291076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020489254253565556.post-60939679590209527312008-09-09T17:15:00.000-04:002008-09-09T17:15:00.000-04:00My husband is a public school teacher in the best ...My husband is a public school teacher in the best school system in the state and we still plan on sending out kids to private school. <BR/><BR/>It's a personal choice based on our belief systems and the expections of the school. I don't believe is school vouchers because it would only hurt public schools. I understand Obama sending his children to private school- he can afford the best possible education, but he isn't the majority of this country. That's why we have to have the best possible public schools we can offer.Dolcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329833813059592607noreply@blogger.com
