In October, in the last presidential debate, Obama specifically attacked McCain’s support for the school-choice program in Washington, D.C., which gives 1,900 lower-income students a voucher worth up to 
$7,500 to attend the private school of their choice — and which McCain wanted to expand to include more students.
When Michelle Obama visited Washington this week, she toured only two prospective schools for her daughters: Sidwell Friends, where lower-school tuition is $28,442; and Georgetown Day, where tuition is $27,445 for grades 1-5.
