When it comes to President Obama，most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha，however, has been kept a little more under wraps.
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children：
The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports：one they choose and one selected by their mother.
Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.
The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry，they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princesses. It’s just basic rules，boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”
Michelle also mentions another set of rules：
The girls must do their chores(家务)，though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.
…
It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible.What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?
