Presidential Speech

The President went to schools to speak to children across America this week, and there was a lot of conflict as to whether or not Mr. Obama should be allowed to do this. I think that for one, he’s the president and I doubt he will say anything that is inappropriate. In America education is becoming more and more important to survive, and I think that he should have the right to influence children for the better and encourage them to go to school. He wasn’t talking about a touchy subject like religion, or politics that children can’t really understand. I also think it’s a good idea to have children at a younger age understand the importance of finishing high school. If parents really feel like their kids can’t handle hearing from the president that they need to stay in school, then I think that there is more to why they don’t their kids to watch his speech. We can raise our kids and instill in them the things we want them to be only to an extent. Once they start school, as parents you have more influence to worry about than your own. If you really want your kids to be the best they can be, they need to see the world as it is and make choices on their own. I also think that parents should be happy that the president wants be a part of that and involve himself in our schools.
