Kellyanne Conway could not give a decision about 14-year-old Barron Trump returning to school in the fall, citing that its President Donald Trump and Melania Trumps personal decision to let him go or not.
During a gaggle on the White House driveway Friday morning, Conway was asked if Trump would be sending Barron back to school amid his push to reopen campuses across the country.
Thats a personal decision, Conway said. I dont know what Barrons school has decided and I certainly do not know what the first couple has decided in respect to their teenage son who I believe is entering high school this year.
I have two kids in Maryland also in private schools and I think were just waiting to see what those schools say, Conway continued. So far were told were going back in a school not far away from his
We also recognize that not all school districts are the same, not all the hot spots are the same, so there is no one size fits all except to say we do know about kids on balance thrive better when theyre in a structured safe environment like our schools.
Barron Trump attends St. Andrews Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, which is about a 30 minute drive from the White House. The school has not currently decided on concrete plans for its 2020-21 academic year, but its website says, We are hopeful and optimistic that we can do this learning in person, and are preparing our physical plant and educational program with that goal in mind. Still, it is considering a virtual model of schooling if health concerns require them to, per the schools website.

If Baron died from coronavirus you would see him at the funeral, feigning whatever his mental image of "tough-guy sadness" is for the first few minutes, and then quickly looking bored. He would slip back and forth between the fake sadness and the boredom and he MIGHT even remember he's supposed to look like he is comforting his wife once or twice.

(25,990 posts)If trump were truly all in with school openings, he'd proudly announce Barron's attendance. Every parent who can should take the hint to making their own 'personal decision' regardless of what he says.

Patents will use the same excuse, "personal decision".to see to other alternatives to their children's education if possible.
The rule is just not for the Trumps. HYPOCRITE!
