Heck, I wouldn't be opposed to all presidents speaking every year to students for 15 minutes. I think it's an educational opportunity for the students.

In other words, I just don't see how this was such a big deal.
Agree with you! The POTUS is supposed to be a leader, leaders talk to their people to set goals, set responsibilities, and to provide a common and shared desired end state.

If telling kids they need to be responsible, learn, and be productive citizens is a "learning experience", then please tell me what their parents have been teaching them at home?
