Paul Ryan's Kids - Do They Go to School?

[mzteaze]

I saw this picture on NY Times website and thought about the number of times we've seen them on the campaign trail recently. Do they actually go to school? or are they home schooled?

1. I don't know

but going on a national campaign tour has to be more educational than any class.

People complained about the same thing with Chelsea Clinton, and Obama's kids.

2. Educational on the Rmoney/Lyin Ryan ticket? How so?

Lessons in learning how to lie with a straight face?

9. They're kids

I don't expect them to make political judgments, especially about their father.

Traveling the country the way they are has to be educational for ANY child. All kids should have the opportunity.

10. Kids pick up things through essentially osmosis...

Ryan lies...that's all he does...eventually they will too with such guidance.

14. Well, that's going to happen whether they're on the campaign trail w/him or not.

[RudynJack]

15. So that's an argument...

for exposing them to other places, other people.

11. Agreed. These "are their kids missing school?" BS posts occur every four years on both sides

4. i didn't see Obama kids much once school started, only during major events

like the convention speech.

7. The Edwards kids were also on the road throughout the primaries in 2004

12. And they weren't along in 2008. Look how *that* turned out!

I blame the kids.

13. Obama's kids were in school

Obama went to some parent-teacher meeting during the campaign.

3. i think they are taking time off from school for the campaign, remember Piper Palin

did the same. she said when she started back in school things were difficult because she had a lot of catching up to do. and we all know her parents wouldn't be able to help her.

8. I remember asking how the Palin kids were able to miss so much school not too many weeks

after Sarah was chosen. Somebody here replied to me that Todd and Sarah certainly had a tutor along or some way to make sure that they didn't get too far behind. I was suspicious at the time and history proved me correct.

5. The 1% doesn't need education, their lives are set up. A meritocracy is the desire of the 99%.

6. Most all politician's kids are homeschooled, at least in campaigns.

They are much more useful as stage props for the candidate. Our new Campaign Trail complete with picture perfect spouse and kids plus the 2-year bonanza for the media and payola for rich money-lenders is hardly "family values friendly". It is obscene.
