1. President Obama’s Speech to YOU! You guys are a model for what’s happening all across the country. Reforming education is the responsibility of every single American - every parent, every teacher, every business leader, every public official, and yes, every student. We’ve got to give our children the same world class education that you are getting right here at TechBoston, and as long as I am President, that’s what I’m going to be fighting for right alongside you. We have a moral and economic imperative to give every child a chance to succeed. A budget that sacrifices our commitment to education is a budget that sacrifices our country's future. Paste this in your notebook on page 129 and reflect on yesterday. What was your experience? What is your reaction to the President’s speech to our school and America? How do you feel?
