which makes it easier for Secret Services to watch over the girls.

Honestly, I have no problem with public or private schools in general. What I do have a problem with is people here who think they know what's best for Obama's girls. The girls are going to be going thru 8 years that very few other children in this country can say the have done - being children of the President of the United States. And there are great security risks out there not necessarily from other children in the school but others outside the school that might target those girls to get revenge on Obama. I would say the biggest advantage between public vs. private is the population of students in the school are much smaller and makes it easier for Secret Service to watch over these girls.

If someone were able to get to these girls and harm them, kidnap them or hold the school hostage with the girls in it - it could compromise our government and the job that Obama is doing (Let's face it - when it comes to our children they always come first). So this is not the time nor the place for Obama to be making a public statement about sending the girls to a public school. Obama may be our president but that does not make those girls our children to insist on doing what we want them to do.

Probably a school like Sidwell Friends would be the best. Yes it's religious based but Quakers are probably the most liberal religious group in the United States. Plus Chelsea Clinton is an alumni so the school is already accustomed to handling the children of Presidents.
