President Obama's Back to School Event comes to pass:
"Don't let your country down. This is part of President Obama's message to school children across the country today."
ll good advice. These statements do have merit. However, delivery has had much to be desired by many. Parents from coast to coast have spent the weekend discussing the anticipated speech.
The President's remarks were posted on Monday for the world to see, however, that did not seem to be enough to calm to raging waters.
Was it really the content of the speech that caused so much to say? Chris McKenna of the Times Herald-Record reported on September 4, 2009 that New Windsor parent, James Petro says, “If you believe anything this White House says, you need to see a psychiatrist”.
Or was it the omission of the parents in the participation of the speech? PTA Councilperson, Cara Mendelsohn of Dallas, TX says that this approach is, "cutting out the parent".
Or is it the timing as the students and staff are just getting settled in to their new academic year, (unless they start tomorrow, September 9, 2009). Ann Sanner of the AP reports that Loudeoun County, VA school superintendent, Edgar Hatrick told WTOP News in Washington, "I think it is a very good speech,but it's just not on the first day of school very convenient for everybody to stop in the middle of lunch and to stop everything else they're doing and hear the live broadcast."
