I have read the speech and it is directed towards adults (parents, educators, voters) or people who run public education, and NOT students. Consequently, it is quite logical to NOT waste precious school time on something that has little or no educational or learning value for the students. Yes, our public educational system is vitally important, thus, my question is why it wasn't scheduled for evening "prime" time instead of daytime when the people who make the educational decisions are working. Perhaps, the reason is political? Why would the President give a speech to an audience who has no control or authority to affect the educational system? Perhaps, President Obama envisions himself as sort of a "Pied Piper" attempting to lead easily impressionable children on a crusade of rushing home and converting and influencing their parents to embrace and support his agenda or path to that city on the hill!
