My problem with the speech is just how pathetic, depressing and demoralizing it is for my three sons (1st, 2nd and 7th grades). They go to a decent public school, do great in school and are happy to be going to school.
The speech is probably appropriate for a segment of the stundent population (I would argue middle school or high school) that is struggling in school.
Why give this speech to Kindergartners and elementary school students? Simply does not make sense.
They'll all be stundents when zer0 gets done with them.
