That is definitely crossing the line.<br /><br />By the way, the Administration could have avoided the "questions" surrounding the content of the speech by circulating it earlier.Private schools Gwinnetthttp://www.cornerstonecougars.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-90080177249228468922009-09-15T10:19:40.456-05:002009-09-15T10:19:40.456-05:00I also believe that students should be able to lis...I also believe that students should be able to listen to the President's speech. I believe that the position of the President of the United States deserves respect regardless of the political party you belong to or whether or not you agree/disagree with any of his policies. His speech also encouraged students to stay and school and work hard. How could this message be harmful to anyone?AClarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218629610672679073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-13865676593207050862009-09-12T21:51:08.922-05:002009-09-12T21:51:08.922-05:00Paying attention to talk radio hosts is maybe not ...Paying attention to talk radio hosts is maybe not the best use of your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-45434487604546287632009-09-07T22:27:05.086-05:002009-09-07T22:27:05.086-05:00I agree,Students should be able to listen to the P...I agree,Students should be able to listen to the President's speechLisahttp://www.vacationrentalsad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-53563272081757853922009-09-07T19:17:07.395-05:002009-09-07T19:17:07.395-05:00You missed the point, Anonymous-- Talk radio hosts...You missed the point, Anonymous-- Talk radio hosts are now saying that the President released his speech text early to incite a publicity uproar, thus making his speech seem like more than it is. So people who normally wouldn't care would tune in.<br /><br />That's about as bizarre a rationale as one can imagine: the President and his team set this up as part of his strategy to influence young minds. And since many presidential speeches draw less-than-stellar crowds, let's try to gin up some controversy by releasing the text! And include lesson plans! That's the ticket!<br /><br />Bizarre indeed.<br /><br />I fully agree that a national leader urging kids to take their education seriously is as innocuous as it comes.Nancy Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047575960944913289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21843852.post-51196572142252767902009-09-07T12:12:29.235-05:002009-09-07T12:12:29.235-05:00"So I expect you to get serious this year.

You know, kind of like reading under the covers with a flashlight.<br /><br />I actually remember watching Reagan's "we have figured out taxes and other nations envy us" speech, a couple of decades ago, with my middle school students. None of this is about speech-making.
