Speech! (education blog)

In The Obama Speech by Will Richardson talked about how he thinks schools should show speeches during the day. He has a strong opinion about this because where is a better place to discribe something then where you learn the most. I agree with most of this. The part i don't agree with is if you don't want to watch the speech you don't have to. The only thing is you could be missing some valuble information and that is your fault. At school, a debate can start and really get kids thinking. New ideas and new perspectives of things can blossum while talking about a speech or even a piece of text. Like he says talking about speeches at schools can make us have a different veiw on the world fom just one opinion. His last sentence in the article says " But without that, any way you look at it, this is not a great moment for schools." I think this is one hundred percent true. schools can't do as much as they want to because some parent wont let the school do that.
