That responsibility begins not in our classrooms, but in our homes

As a teacher, I heard this part loud and clear and agree with it completely. Every day I encounter young people who have still not learned the value of education.
A lot of people think and expect that any school can make anything of any student with enough effort. It has been my experience that this just isn't so. Education really does start at home.
So, to all the parents out there, my message is this:
Your local public school's purpose is not solely to teach your child how to be a responsible citizen. You need to do that at home. A school is not a day care center. You cannot just hand us your kid and expect they'll come out better than they went in. It takes some work at home too.
To all the parents who do put some time into their children's upbringing, thank you, it shows.
On the speech as a whole, to me it seemed like he was saying we are going to fix everything, for everyone, in a short amount of time, with full bipartisan support, while decreasing the debt and not costing Americans any more money. I say good luck....
Oh, and we're all getting high speed trains and 4G?????
