Do you find it more exciting or more scary to hear that Barack and Michelle Obama’s two daughters could potentially attend a DC public school?

It definitely would send a signal to the country, but what the signal is can be viewed in many different ways. It could be a vote of confidence of the work of DC Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee. Or maybe that the Obama’s feel public schools can be trusted to give the same education as their current $50k tuition private schools. Or maybe that they don’t follow current events in DCPS.

Though I do find it intriguing that it could be a possibility, I must say I don’t really think that’s going to happen. They were spotted checking out two of DC’s provate schools, including Georgetown Day School, founded in 1945 as the first integrated school in the District of Columbia.
