- When the girls go on trips they must write reports on what they have done and seen. This must be completed regardless of whether the school requires a report.
- During the week, technology is banned. The sisters can only use computers for homework and are forbidden from watching TV during the week. (Incidentally, when they do watch TV, the girls are said to enjoy Modern Family).
- Malia and Sasha are forbidden from using Facebook until they are 17. In an interview earlier this year President Barack Obama said he banned his daughters from the social networking site because he does not want ‘strangers knowing our business’.
- Malia was allowed a cellphone when she was 12, but again, is only allowed to use it on the weekends. Sasha has been told she will have to wait another year before her mother even thinks about giving her a mobile.
- Malia and Sasha must take up two sports: they are allowed to pick one of the sports and the other is chosen by their mother. Michelle previously explained the policy: 'I want them to understand what it feels like to do something you don’t like and to improve.’
- Malia must know how to do her own laundry before she leaves for college.
- The girls must eat their greens. If they say they are not hungry when confronted with vegetables, they are not allowed chips or cookies later. 'If you’re full, you’re full. I don’t want to see you in the kitchen after that,' Mrs. Obama told Ladies’ Home Journal.
And yes, they did go to school the next day after their appearance at the recent Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
