President Obama's School Speech

Many of our classes participated in the President's speech today. Some taped it for presentation later in the quarter. Some did not present the speech for one reason or another. It did appear that the interest level was greatly reduced after reading the text and hearing a variety of politicians express their opposing views even before hearing the speech. Our position from the beginning was that the President of the United States is an important person and we greatly appreciate his intent to encourage students to stay in school, work hard and accept responsibility for one's own actions. And I suppose there will be more controversy as all this continues.
