Personally, I think the president should speak to students in support of
studying and staying in school. What I can't stomach is all the hypocrisy
coming from the White House and Congress. For example:

Personally, I think they should have let the kids have a day off, and have a
closed door session with the teachers. And have one in a month and cut
about 20% of the dead wood.

But that's just me.

I know a teacher who's near 30 years service who is retiring because he has
to follow a syllabus on what to teach, which includes things that have
nothing to do with the subject he is teaching. A loss. I have a son who
just graduated college looking for a job, and who I think would make a good
teacher. Lots of people who would make good teachers out there, and a lot
of tenured POS's who need to be led away from the trough. If they cut the
dead weight, believe me, there would be no shortage of applicants.
