Obama's speech to high school also a subtle jobs bill pitch
Activer le mode zenChristi Parsons
President Obama promised schoolchildren Wednesday that he would fight for an "educational system that's worthy of your potential," in a mostly inspirational speech about studying hard and shooting for straight A's that made only brief reference to his legislative agenda.
Still, as he delivered his annual back-to-school address at a District of Columbia public high school, Obama told students he was trying to upgrade school buildings and fortify the ranks of classroom teachers two key elements of his proposed jobs bill.
"We're working to make sure that you have the most up-to-date schools with the latest tools for learning," Obama said. "And we're working to get the best teachers into the classroom as well, so they can help you prepare for college and a future career."
