So today the President gave a speech to the kids in school. Some schools showed it and some did not. I live in a area that they showed it but the county's above me did not. I'm curious to who's children saw it and what did they think of it? Did they find it inspirational or did they not pay attention to it?

Two of my kids heard the speech at school today. I asked them how it was and was told simply that is was boring. I'm thinking they didn't really pay attention since were not huge Obama fans here. My oldest (high school) got up and refused to listen to it and walked out of class. I guess he was not alone as many did this. Needless to say I need to send in a letter tomorrow and he already warned me that he might get a in school suspension or detention for leaving. So do I get mad at son of mine for walking out? Should kids be forced into listening to it?
