If I was the President of the United States?  I'd INSIST that my daughter
go to public school.  What message is he sending?  "My daughter is better
than all of those poor hapless souls that are forced to go to public
schools."

The public school system is broken, badly.  The solution is not to have
a two class system when the rich and privileged get one education and
the poor get another.  This is why I support a voucher system - let the
poor black kids in DC that are STUCK in public schools have a chance at
the same education that one rich white guy's daughter is going to get.
