Leadership in the Classroom

Today at high noon President Obama will be giving a speech to our children in school. You can read what he will be saying here at this link

There has been great controversy and debate over this speech....which in the end has led to a great speech...in my opinion.

If Hunter was in grade school I would welcome the chance for him to hear every word of this message our President delivers today. This was my favorite part....it even makes me want to solve problems, make discoveries and do something big, something powerful for our country...

"So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?

Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America."

How does it make you feel?
