President Obama, Peace Nobel, 2009
 
 
 
Every single one of you has something that you�re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That�s the opportunity an education can provide. 
 
I �m in a hurry, now. I �ll come back later and edit. My suggestion is that we debate his last speech to the youngsters, at the beginning of the school year , though I must say I�m a bit biased here: for me, this calls for celebration.
However, this speech has been  thoroughly contradicted, President Obama was accused of indoctrinating America�s children to his socialist agenda, so I suggest we debate & share ideas, not people. Are you with me, just on this issue?

You�ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You�ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You�ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy. 
 
In a small paragraph, an Educational Agenda for the Century: 
Knowledge- Critical Thinking- Creativity
