But critics objected to the language of one of the lesson plans for students in pre-kindergarten through grade 6. He suggests that students "write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president." Another assignment for students after hearing the speech was to discuss what "the president wants us to do."
After much criticisms regarding this, Obama changed his assignment for the students saying ""Write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short-term and long-term education goals". These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals.
Thus, far, I do not see anything wrong with this. Although students are impressionable they do need to respect their president.

Didn't John Kennedy say, " Ask not what the country can do for you, but what can you do for your country". Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush delivered similar speeches to students.
The president's address is causing much concern with both Republicans and Democrats. There is so much fear out there.They distrust some of Obama's radical advisers and Americans do not want to become a socialistic country.
I am pleased that my fellow Americans, some of them anyway are on their toes. their ears and eyes wide open, watching very carefully. We all must watch carefully. We are on treacherous territory at this moment.
However, for Obama's agenda for Tuesday, let's not go crazy out there. Let our president plan on giving his address. We will all be available to view his speech on Monday on the Board of Education Web site. If the speech is not acceptable, then I can understand keeping children home from school. But planing on doing so before hearing his speech is ridiculous.
Obama will deliver his speech at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va.
ABC will air the speech after it is presented. The time is not known as yet

Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself
Tyler Perry returns as Madea (and director, screenwriter, and producer) in this drama about family, love, and redemption. Madea discover three kids trying to steal from her, and she sends them to their only relative. Their aunt, April (Taraji P. Henson), is an alcoholic who is having an affair with a married man, but the three children--and an attractive new tenant--may present a chance for a fresh start.
Earth
Partially constructed from the groundbreaking BBC and Discovery Channel television series PLANET EARTH, EARTH is a ravishing and often gut-wrenching tale of natural survival and beauty. Five years in the making (including 250 days of aerial footage shot from planes, helicopters, and two-man balloons) and narrated by actor James Earl Jones, EARTH follows the trials of three families of polar bears, elephants, and whales. Though separated by seasons and continents, each family will cross great lengths and confront numerous hardships: for the Arctic polar bears, it is an increasingly warming planet that melts the ice they need for a hunting platform; for the African elephants, hot desert conditions and hungry predators will stand in the way of reaching a lush delta; and for the Pacific humpback whales, their Antarctic migration will be fraught with rough waters and great white sharks. Along the way, EARTH takes us on a global tour of nature in all its colorful splendor and harrowing moments--from windswept tundra to teeming rainforests, from cheetahs running down their prey to ducklings taking first flight. And as each family struggles towards their much-needed feeding grounds, directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield ultimately show us that nature can be equally giving and unforgiving. Educational but never preachy, EARTH is an unprecedented invitation for adults and children alike to experience the everyday natural wonders that deserve our awe and safeguarding.
