Now They Are Going After Our Children?

This Administration goes beyond the pale if they think the American people are going to keep swallowing the bilge water.....

The White House propaganda machine is attempting to indoctirate our children into making "what can we do for the president?" a commandment. Seem that the Obama White House is trying to replace God with Obama.....It is obviouse that they are trying to "Brain Wash" our children into accepting Socialism, Stateism, and "the OBAMA cult to serve Obama".. The "do as I say, learn from me as I speak the path..." sucks and smack of more indoctrination......

I want our children to learn and accept our tried and tested path of self fulfillment through effort, work, honest gain, achievement through excellence. Self sequestering is not easy to teach. I Don't need and do not want the Administration preaching the concept of socialism to corrupt or confuse the minds of my children. Do you???

PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities: President Obama’s Address to Students Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education
September 8, 2009

Before the Speech:
Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions:
Who is the President of the United States?
What do you think it takes to be President?
To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking?
Why do you think he wants to speak to you?
What do you think he will say to you?
Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say.
Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?
During the Speech:
As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:
What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
Students can record any questions they have while he is speaking and then discuss them after the speech. Younger children may need to dictate their questions.
After the Speech:

Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty.

Students could discuss their responses to the following questions:
What do you think the President wants us to do?
Does the speech make you want to do anything?
Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?
What would you like to tell the President?

Teachers could encourage students to participate in the Department of Education’s “I Am What I Learn” video contest. On September 8th the Department will invite K-12 students to submit a video no longer than 2 min, explaining why education is important and how their education will help them achieve their dreams. Teachers are welcome to incorporate the same or a similar video project into an assignment. More details will be released via HYPERLINK "http://www.ed.gov"www.ed.gov.


Extension of the Speech: Teachers can extend learning by having students
Create posters of their goals. Posters could be formatted in quadrants or puzzle pieces or trails marked with the labels: personal, academic, community, country. Each area could be labeled with three steps for achieving goals in those areas. It might make sense to focus on personal and academic so community and country goals come more readily. Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals. Write goals on colored index cards or precut designs to post around the classroom. Interview and share about their goals with one another to create a supportive community. Participate in School wide incentive programs or contests for students who achieve their goals. Write about their goals in a variety of genres, i.e. poems, songs, personal essays.


Create artistic projects based on the themes of their goals. Graph student progress toward goals.

Teachers; RECORD it, review it, get feedback from parents on it, then, if it passes muster, proceed.

Is this what happens now or you think should happen?

Because no teacher is going to get parents approval for a lesson plan! LOL

They have already been caught asking the Endowment of the Arts for artistic contributions by members for propaganda purposes... One member ratted on them and made a tape recording of the telephone conversation. They intend to infiltrate everything they can with the intent of making us a communist state. Now it is our kids. Somebody better wake up!

Will Obama youth be given uniforms and perhaps a dagger? Will they be asked to spy on their parents and file reports? No Obama is not a Nazi or a commie or a fascist, he is a combination of all three. When will the hate America crowd wake up?

Then you better get yourself to school because I am a teacher in Wicomico County and I fully intend to show it!

You wonder why this town is going to the dogs? Because of the bunch of yahoos who are afraid of change - who live in the 1950's and can't get over the fact that there is a black man in the White House. Heaven forbid that our black president should speak to our youth about personal responsibility and working hard in school - heaven forbid there could be the remotest chance that he could reach a few youth who would otherwise be lost, who might otherwise become the thugs you spend every other day worrying about. This is with out a doubt the most ignorant area I have ever lived in in my entire life, and that is saying something as I have lived in 8 different states before now.

What is the issue here? When I was a kid, we had questions in school to critically think about what the President and other major figures were talking about.

There was JFK's "Ask not..." speech. MLK's "I have a dream" speech. We had big projects for the 1968 election much like these.

I think the mistake has been there hasn't been enough teaching about our government in the schools. People are positively ignorant today.

Critical Thinking -- It's Not Just for Breakfast Anymore

Heads up JANE....Obama is our first bi-racial president. Maybe you should have been more observant in your last 7 states.

I am a parent of two young children and I still smell something amiss here. I never had to do any of this in school and we never did it for the last president. (NOT that he was the brightest crayon in the box but we elected him so it's a poor reflection on us.) I will definitely talk to the teachers about this thoroughly before Sept. 8th. Informed and involved parents = responsible kids.
