Subject: Re: OBAMA'S SPEECH

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!
