Obama plans back-to-school speech
President Barack Obama is planning his second back-to-school speech to the nation's students.
The White House said Wednesday the vacationing president will make his remarks on Sept. 14 at a time and place to be announced.
The White House says the president wants to speak directly to students as they resume their fall studies. And he wants to encourage them to "study hard, stay in school and take responsibility for their education."
Last year, the president told students in a speech from Arlington, Va., that each of them had something they were good at, and something to offer the country.
That address gained notoriety after some parents and conservative critics objected, saying Obama was making a political speech.

Education: I think Obama giving a speech was really cool it probably inspired kids to want to go back to school. Although him giving a speech would not mean all students have to like school. Obama should do those speeches every time students will enter so they know they are good at something. I know if the students dropping out of school were to hear they would probably want to go back. Also, reading this made me feel great it made me remember that every human being is good at something whether it is a good thing or bad thing.
People say school is boring. Well... I disagree. Look at it this way. There's two thirty year old men infront of you. The fist man works at Burger King. He drives a twenty year old car and lives in a aapartment. The second man works in a office. He has a brand new fifty thousand dollar car and lives in a two story, five bedroom house. Which man do you think tried hard in school? That's where you could be. A wealthy man with a nice house or a man working at a fast food restraunt getting payed minimum wage living in a apartment. And this all depends on how good you do in school.
if you quit school then you should go back because you wont get an education to college and obama is right you should go back to get a job and a education
I agree with this idea. It is a good idea because many students tend to get low grades. Some may even flunk. It it very sad to me because the students who get low grades normally are capable of getting good grades. But what is really sad, is when one of the capable students, makes fun of a mentally challenged student. It is the kind of thing that the challenged students just want to turn around and say "what is your excuse". But you know you can not. Another good thing about this idea, is that it will most likely supply more jobs. If students get good grades then they may go to college. The better the grade, the better the college. In this case, I totally agree!
I think that Mr.Obama want to tells us to work hard.
That someday we will be at the position that he is in right now.
That we can make good out of ourself and not the opposite of ourself.
I Like OBAMA AND ALL BUT IS HE CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT? WE CHILDREN WOULD NOT LOVE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL. I REALLY LIKE OBAMA AS A PRESIDENT BUT HE WANTS US KIDS to GO TO SCHOOL. I AM SAYING THIS NOW TO OBAMA WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
I think this is the speech my school got to listen to. I think it was very invigorating and boosted alot of peoples confidence to want to learn more. At least for me it did. It showed that he actually cared about the young people and there education. He wants a brighter future for the next generation to come. And I'm glad someone is actually trying to boost up our confidence as young people and not just sit there and watch us fail and say I told you so.
President Barack Obama is a good person president Obama want to speak to all the shcool president Obama says to all students to work hard come on time that what president Obama said to students.
A back to school speech thats cool and really wierd. He maybe wasnt teached that good when he was a kid. Thats must have been a really long speech beacause school is long. But thats a good prezident for doing that.
The comment in the education tab called, “Obama plans back to school speech” was very interesting because of the information regarding it. The information that was given for this article was very little if not much at all. Which is why I’m surprised that this article was actually at published because it didn’t have any information except for telling when it was going to happen, and some information that wasn’t even relevant to be in the article. In my opinion this article was really written bad and could be improved. Also a small suggestion that could help a lot is to re write this article.
