Any elementary school teachers here? I'm hearing that President Obama is to speak live on Tuesday, and the White House wants all the classes to stop whatever they are teaching and watch. They even provide lesson plans to help.

Is your school cooperating?
 
Ya know, I could not stand Dubya. At all. But, I wouldn't have had a problem w/him doing it either. It's the President. Kids should hear from the President. I still respect the office even if I don't agree w/the person holding the spot.

Public school is indoctrination. It's the parents job, when the kid gets home, to reprogramme what they've learned that day ;)

I don't trust our government officials as far as I can throw them. But, I really view this as harmless. Perhaps I'm a fool?

Actually he did.

And the democrats did protest.

I am gonna wait to pass judgment until Monday when the speech is supposed to be posted on the White House website.

If he sticks to strictly talking about education and working hard then it is a positive. But if so he should have done it in Detroit which is the most pathetic school district in the country bar none. Those kids need a good lecturing about education. Their parent also. Yes parent as in way too many single parent kids.


If he uses it for anything remotely political then he is an asshat.

I'm told HW Bush did; so did Reagan. Nobody said boo. Of course, I don't think they sent out lesson plans telling the kiddos to ask themselves what they think the President wants them to do or how they can help the President .
 
You may be right, but the White House poisoned the water when they published the lesson plans. Retracting the "how can I help the President" part was too little, too late. Obama and/or his advisors seem pretty slow to learn such lessons.

Are they (I never watch)? Of course they are. But if it were Dubya, they'd be fauning all over the Patriotism of it all.

Probably a revision cuz the 'right' got paranoid. Once again, had it been Dubya the right would not have a problem w/that phrase.

Shhhh.... We're not supposed to remember Kennedy. Besides, he was killed for his views of doing away w/the sold out status quo...

Gotta love the Bush Administration for the paranoia it provided. I am tired of Obama this and Obama that. True, up to this point, I ain't thrilled w/him as he is NOT reversing things that the Bush Admnistration put into place. But it was the Bush Administration that took down this country after September 11th. W/scared sheeples blessings so we'd be 'safe'.

Tho, the BA put into place things that have been in the works for decades. Hey, the Patriot Act wasn't written right after September 11th. It was picked up off a shelf, dusted off & shoved through w/the perfect opportunity September 11th provided.

Remember the adage:

GOP = Nazis
DEM = Commies

WePeeps are being attacked by both sides. Until everyone understands that and votes accordingly (after we've derailed vote-fraud of course) nothing will change. Sadly we are too busy fighting amonst ourselves over division issues (just what those politicians want) to actually be effective. We UsefulIdiots get what we deserve. Period.

In the meantime, as I said ealier, a speech to our kids by the President don't bother me one bit. I bet it's harmless. But it does serve to turn one side against the other (voter wise). So I guess it's still.....

Mission Accomplished for the sold-out status quo that is our government - both sides of the aisle.

On that note, I'm done :horse:horse:horse for the day...

Once again, it's not the phrase, it's the lesson plan. If Bush had tried the same thing his teacher-wife Laura would've set him straight before anyone had gotten wind of it.
