Obamas speach

As I read 'Are you smarter then a fith grader'by Mr.Fisch I was thinking about our school and my Mom. We did not get to watch President Obama's speech at our school and my mom was very mad,she thought we should be able to hear our own president talk to us about our education. I think what East Elementary school did was very cool and I think we should have done some thing like it. Mr. Fisch wrote about how the 5th graders at East Elementary blogged about the speech while listening to it. I thought that sounded fun because we watched the inauguration speech in my middle school and we did not get to talk about it and if we could blog then we could all read each other's thoughts and we could say our own ideas. I think that would be very helpful to our learning because we would expand our thoughts because most kids get their political views from their parents because that is all they hear. But if we saw the speech by ourselves we could think for ourselves and we could read other kids thoughts. Although the article was short it made me think a lot of my "political views" if a 5th grader can blog about his thoughts on Obama shouldn't 9th grader be able to as well.
