WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama plans to tell the nation's school children that they ultimately are most responsible for their own education.
The White House posted Obama's remarks .. on its Web site.
...
.. Obama tells young people that all the work of parents, educators and others won't matter "unless you show up for those schools, pay attention to those teaches."

About 2000 words too many
Nice speech but as normal he thinks way too highly of himself and believes his mere words will transform their minds and hearts so he drones on and on and on thinking the kids will be transfixed by his voice
I’m sure about half way though most kids will be thinking “when is this going to be over”
“When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school.”
He fails to mention his mother was married at the time to a man who, by all accounts, did OK financially.
Two days later, a formal letter arrived to all parents informing them the school district will NOT (bold type was in their letter) be showing this at all.
I don't care if Ronald Regan II was in office, I still don't like the idea of Presidents having carte blanch access to the youth of this country.
He more-than-likely sanitized the speech to make the conservatives appear wrong in their objection to his attempt to influence school children.

The bit about his mother getting up at 4:30 am to teach him lessons and the “buster” comment was used during the campaign not only in speeches, but in television ads. Another copied and pasted - but oh so inspiring - speech.
In any event, if he couldn’t go to American schools that explains why he misspoke and talked about 57 states during the campaign.
AND, I hope the young high-school aged man who was volunteering at my precinct last November - the one with sloppy clothes who was sound asleep while the other kids were alert and helpful - is listening. No doubt they all ended up with the same credit for their ‘service’. Another teachable moment here in Amerika!
“President Barack Obama plans to tell the nation’s school children that they ultimately are most responsible for their own education.”
If that’s true, then the Big O should come out and support school vouchers so parents can choose what school their child should attend.
I don’t believe a word this guy says. Neither should you.
and “God” twice, even though he doesn’t believe in one.
Stop with the quislingism.
I bet that those “4:30” sessions were an experiment that lasted for about a week at most and then abandoned. But then they could be used to make the illusion that this was a long term effort by his mother.
Nope, this whole plan was an attempt at brain washing our children and setting them on the road to indoctrination.
...and the kids reply, ‘do as you say, not as you did?’

That Union meeting was the most bizarre thing I’ve seen him do ...yelling and screaming. Then saying “I will be talking to the kids of America tomorrow!” Much like a defiant punk than a President.
The text of the speech is out.
There is nothing inspiring in it.
The speech is one thing, the “suggested” lesson plan quite another.
“How can YOU help the president?” (Dear Lord, please help us! ‘Cause this guy thinks he’s You)
But there is "ME".
The racist bastard has destroyed the sanctity of the office of President with his open treason and attempt to crush our nation's economy and force a marxist regime upon our nation.
He's not my pResident....
And now for the rest of the story..
And so it came to pass that 10 year old Barrack hussein Obama, aka the Messiah... found his way to lovely Hawaii, where his rich family sent him to the all exclusive and prestigious Punahou School, where tuition now tops $16,000 per year.
It was proportionately expensive back then as well..
That was my initial impression. There were lots of “I”s and “I want”s.
Kids will have a mental nap with their eyes open until it’s done.
