emailed my district this morning...no response yet
Who the heck is the 'super attendant'???
The order needs a little work. God, family then country/constitution.
Ping and bump all in one.
This has to be stopped. I don’t think we have heard the last of it.
BTW, who pays the school teacher’s, principal’s, superintendent’s, etc. salaries?
WE do with our tax money.
If they do this I will never vote for another school bond issue.
Maybe that needs to be our plan. Call the local superintendents, principals, etc. and tell them that.
September 8 is National School Sick Day.
Parents, keep your kids safe at home on September 8.
You are NOT alone. But, please... don't get ill . . . your voice is needed.
A real good bathroom attendant.
The “above all”, should cover that.
Thank you, Patriot.
Oh, I thought it was the usual "in service" (day off) teachers have after the first week of school.
I'm in the sixth grade and hate it when people say or write mean things about me. Because I know many people are saying mean things about you I want to help. I know that many people are saying you weren't born in America and I would like to help those people know the truth.
If you send me a certified copy of your birth certificate I'll make a bunch of copies and hand them out all through my school.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Gee! This is the same day that Judge Carter will address his eligibility to be president. Could this be a coincidence?
I feel just as sick. My son is a teacher and has to put up with this crap.
HANDS OFF MY CHILDREN YOU PERVERTED ZERO!
Opps, I meant Superintendent, sorry I had a brain fart.

There’s also a grades 7-12 menu for the teachers
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 www.ed.gov.
