Education

I really liked reading President Obama's speech on Education. He talked a lot about the student's responsibility! I am a strong advocate for that. Quite a lot of problems would be solved with our education system if students actually took responsibility for their own education instead of blaming others. Now I know that our system needs work, I for one would like to have smaller class sizes (< 15 students) and a bigger salary for teachers, but that's another debate.

Here's a link to his speech:

The sad thing: I only found out about the fact that our President is talking to students because there was a ton of "Don't let the President speak to students" crap. He's the President of the United States people. Even if you don't like him, or didn't vote for him, he won. He's now our elected leader. He can talk to them if he wants to. If you're worried about what he'll say, talk to your kids after they hear him talk to them. That way you can be a supportive parent.

Here's my attempt to be a supportive parent. Hang loose, Baby Hero!
