PreK-12?  Menu of Classroom Activities: President Obama’s Address to Students Across America
  Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education September 8, 2009

Before the Speech: • Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions: Who is the President of the United States? What do you think it takes to be President? To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking? Why do you think he wants to speak to you? What do you think he will say to you? • Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say. • Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor?

Solutions:
[1] Keep your children home

Here's a sample 'excuse' note:

To Whom it May Concern:
When it comes to teaching my child about personal responsibility and life goals, I have determined that I am a far better teacher of those objectives than a President who has chosen to surround himself with known communists and terrorists. Therefore, <my son/daughter> will be at home on Sept 8th in order not to be corrupted by the propaganda that will be shown in his/her class room.

[2] Call school and insist that a 'non-participant' room or space be made available and that you specifically want your child/children to be in that room
 
[3] Attend Chairman BO’s Indocrination session with your child/children and participate in any school assembly/discussion afterward
