There has somehow come the opinion that letting our children listen to the duly elected President of their country talk to them about the importance of education is a BAD thing. that it is a POLITICAL thing that it is to be discouraged. Exactly on what planet do these people live where our President is somehow not really their President and they have to protect their children from hearing and seeing him? Do they honestly believe that the importance of Education is a political topic? that it’s not what in most countries would be considered common sense? that we do not have a absolute lack of focus amongst our children? Someone needs to tell our children what it is they should be working towards and right now most parents don’t seem to be getting that message through. U.S. eight graders rank 11th worldwide in Science scores and 8th worldwide in math. If that is what these parents are protecting their children from, then they should absolutely have the right to tell their children to go ahead and fail in school, go ahead and look forward to a job in the service sector, go ahead and be less, but for those few parents who DO want their children to succeed, who DO want their children to go to college, what better voice than the President of these united States to talk directly to THEm, not through their parents or through their school administrators, bu to them, and show them the importance of education.
