Actually, two fellow WASSA members and myself, along with the help of other WASSA members, hosted an event for the State of the Union, which was a big success. It was very nice to see about fifty students so eager to view and discuss about such an important speech from the President of the United States.
Personally, I try as hard as I can to be as nonpartisan with my blog as possible, not clearly outlining my views to maintain readership amongst all sides of the political spectrum. With that said, I really liked the speech. President Obama clearly hit on some major points and issues that our country needs to focus on. He also reached across the aisle and spoke of ways of dealing with a Republican majority in the house. I believe his beliefs of a better future are positive and what the country needs.
I will state that my favorite part of the speech was his emphasis on education. Education in America is something that really needs to be looked at. I personally do not agree with everything the President said, but the fact that he addressed education, especially teacher compensation, is a sigh of relief.
"Let's also remember that after parents, the biggest impact on a child's success comes from the man or woman at the front of the classroom. In South Korea, teachers are known as "nation builders." Here in America, it's time we treated the people who educate our children with the same level of respect"
