To let you know, I’m for Obama and thought it was silly how some people where acting over this speech.
I don’t have a problem with him telling kids they need to try to do good in school. One of the things he said is, you can’t drop out of school and expect to be handed a good job. A lot of the kids in the inner city schools don’t care about education. My wife is a teacher at an inner city elementary school. She said that even at an early age, a lot of the inner city kids are out of control. They don’t respect the teachers and don’t even try to learn. Teachers in these schools have a hard time because they aren’t allowed to discipline the kids at all other than sending them to the principles office. And a lot of the parents get mad at the teachers if they dare say anything bad about their kids. Hopefully since this speech was coming from a president who happens to be a minority, some of these kids will listen. I’m not really sure why so many people were upset about the speech. President Reagan and the 1st Bush both gave speeches to school children.
For some bizarre reason I wanted to cook after hearing the speech. Maybe some kind of subliminal suggestion?
I just wanted to pull out my KitchenAid artisan 5 qt stand mixer and start cookin up a storm!
