Today President Obama spoke to children in school, encouraging them to work hard, stay in school, and never stop trying to achieve their goals. Although some people have tried to make this a political issue, it isn’t. I don’t understand how anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, can possibly object to our president, or any other intelligent role model, encouraging children to value school and education. Here is a link to President’s Obama sppeech. Read it and decide for yourself. And then discuss it with your kids. What a great teachable moment!http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/09/07/obama.school.speech.pdf
