Dear Principal:
In a recent interview with student reporter, Damon Weaver, President Obama announced that on September 8 — the first day of school for many children across America — he will deliver a national address directly to students on the importance of education. The President will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning. He will also call for a shared responsibility and commitment on the part of students, parents and educators to ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives as American citizens.
Since taking office, the President has repeatedly focused on education, even as the country faces two wars, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and major challenges on issues like energy and health care. The President believes that education is a critical part of building a new foundation for the American economy. Educated people are more active civically and better informed on issues affecting their lives, their families and their futures.
This is the first time an American president has spoken directly to the nation's school children about persisting and succeeding in school. We encourage you to use this historic moment to help your students get focused and begin the school year strong. I encourage you, your teachers, and students to join me in watching the President deliver this address on Tuesday, September 8, 2009. It will be broadcast live on the White House website www.whitehouse.gov 12:00 noon eastern standard time.
In advance of this address, we would like to share the following resources: a menu of classroom activities for students in grades preK-6 and for students in grades 7-12. These are ideas developed by and for teachers to help engage students and stimulate discussion on the importance of education in their lives. We are also staging a student video contest on education. Details of the video contest will be available on our website www.ed.gov in the coming weeks.
On behalf of all Americans, I want to thank our educators who do society's most important work by preparing our children for work and for life. No other task is more critical to our economic future and our social progress. I look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead to continue improving the quality of public education we provide all of our children.
Sincerely,
Arne Duncan
Gotta pay back that debt and keep the hogs in Washington well fed!
Oh really? I am finding references to this type of speech by Presidents going all the way back to President McKinley in 1899, albeit, the format has changed. This is the first 'web' broadcast speech of the type versus in-person meetings with groups of children.
I loved this part.
Society's most important work eh? Guess good parenting is totally unimportant. Next they will you signing your children over to the state. They are now Obama’s children.
“The President will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.”
..... The hacks leading the teachers’ unions will no doubt see this as absolving their organizations of any responsibility in public education beyond picking up their paychecks.
Hey kids..come back... first the lecture...
then vaccine shots,hhummmmm, bring you grandparents too!!!
All hail the Maximum Leader!!
Our son's math teacher said yesterday that he does not support Obama's health care agenda because it is "not mathematically sound." LOL
Notice :
***Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.***
To help the president! Not “to help the country”??
Control the children and you control the future. Why do you think that HR3200 calls for Home Visitations with families with young children to help them with social and emotional development (starting in poor communities first)? See pages 838-845. Its there! Just curious what percent of the poor communities voted for Zero to help them raise their children?
Yep, I saw that part! In fact I sent the entire bill to a friend of mine who is a lawyer. The whole bill was written by an army of lawyers who have put enough gray areas in it so they could get away with just about anything. “It’s all in the interpretation.”
To dear leader.
You ask what we can do to help you. I have an idea. Since we have time off at Christmas and for the summer, we can all come up to Washington DC and help you find your birth certificate.
Sincerely,
Little public school Johnny

ROFLMAO
you can laugh, but he can’t. Islam is a very serious business, remember?
Just look at his face. He knows he’s not POTUS. He’s a tool.
I agree. He is a tragic figure, out of his league, but somehow, I cannot feel sorry for him. He could save the whole world a lot of misery by resigning. NOW!
Tragic in that he squandered a mandate to hold the greatest office as a man of colour and will go down as not only a bitter, twisted half-caste like his father (malcolmX) but he sold out both the white and black for the cause of marxism and islam. He was tainted goods right from the start, tainted from when he began to use drugs, listen to his marxist mentor, and study the methods of the Mao and Stalin loving WEB DuBois - hero of the NAACP and Jeremiah Wright.
OBAMA, THE AFRICAN COLONIAL!
