12:06Your Politics versus Your Child's Education

It's a dilemma facing parents across the region: do you send your kids to the local public schools, even if those schools don't have such a great reputation? Writer David Nicholson always assumed he'd send his son to the District's public schools -- but ended up moving to the Virginia suburbs after a discouraging experience in the city. He joins Kojo to discuss how parents make decisions about their children's education.
