While Michelle Obama has said that no plans have been made yet, speculation has already started on where the girls will end up. (The new first daughters currently attend the private University of Chicago Lab School, in Hyde Park.)

While preliminary guessing is placing bets on fancy private schools like Georgetown Day or Sidwell Friends (where Chelsea Clinton went), we’d suggest that the Obama family take a good look at some of the other options. Perhaps one of the better DCPS campuses, like Oyster-Adams in Woodley Park (as D.C. schools chancellor Michelle Rhee has suggested in the past, and where her own daughters attend)? Or how about a successful charter school, as Matt Yglesias wonders, like Capitol City, or DC Prep? Obama has expressed support for both Michelle Rhee’s work in DCPS and charter schools, so neither option is too far-fetched. And needless to say, it would be a great vote of confidence and commitment to public education if the Obamas were to make that choice.

Besides, if this election is going to continue following the bizarre trajectory of The West Wing, Obama must remember remember that Jimmy Smits chose a D.C. public school for his kids. Sidwell Friends or Georgetown Day? That’s not change we can believe in!
