Obama speaks on educaton

Good message...but the personal accountablility that he ends with is not how he started! Robert Hill was going to learn, going to suceed, going to reach for the stars..with my feet on the ground because that is what I brought to the school! My teachers had no choice but to step it up, as a student I forced them to do this because my parents, by their words and me by my actions made it clear...I was headed to the mountain top and they were going to have to be good enough EVERY DAY to be ready to teach me because I demanded to learn, I demanded excellence! Accepting failure was not an option, nor should it be for any student!
