22 comments:

  1. Yes, Obama speech was more motaviating, more excited, and more understanding.

    Obamas speech was more student friendly, he actually made it more clear and understanding then regan did.

    Obama’s speech was very motivating because he believes in his country and wants us to go to school and graduate and go on to college and make something of ourselves.

    I disagree with parents not having there students watching this speech, they need to understand that Obama is our president as mush as they don’t like him they need to respect him and what he is trying to say to this country or do they should support him.

    The part of speech that effected me most is that we are the future, we might be the person coming up with the vaccine for aids, breast cancer or any other kinds of diseases that there is no cure for. They aspect that I agree with is that we need to stay and finish school and to go on to college a make something of ourselves

  2. Yes one speech was way more motivated because he was putting it into terms us kids can relate to. And he was more cherry.

    Yes one was more student friendly cause he was happy and talked to the kids. He did not talk at them he put it so they could understand it.

    Yes Obama’s speech was because he was happy and had a big smile.

    I disagree yes I don’t like Obama that much but his speech was pretty informational. I mean if parents don’t want their kids to watch it than that’s their chose. But people who pull their kids out of school that is wrong to because they need to get their education like Obama said the future depends on our generations of kids.


    To be honest I think I can agree with a lot he said because my freshman high school world history teacher told all of us kid the class of 2010 that the world would depend on our generation. And our knowledge of history. And my Jr. High teacher also said that. So I agree with the man on that much.

  3. Yes, it seemed like one speech was more politically motivated because it was towards the kids.

    I think that Obama’s speech was more “student friendly” because it was more understandable and the kids liked it more.

    Yes, Obama’s speech was more motivating because he thought about us kids and not just the adults.

    I think that it is the parents and students opinion if they don’t want to watch it then they don’t have to but I think that they should watch it because it is towards the students.

    The part of the speech that I liked the most was that he was talking towards us and that we could understand it and that he wants us to be part of our world/ countries future.

  4. Yes, Obamas speech was very movtivating. He talked about thing that kids can understand and relate to. Regans speech was boring and talked about things that the kids really didn’t understand.

    Obamas speech was very student friendly he talked directly to the kids. He talked about life and education and how important it is. Regans speech didn’t have anything that truly related to the kids.

    Yes, Obamas speech was motivating because he talked about how life is today and about how school is so much more important then we think. He got a lot of of his audience. He sent a GREAT message to kids all over.

    I disagree with the parents because his speech was nothing close to anything bad or negative. It sent a reality check to kids about their future and how important it is. If anything you would think that most parents would want their kids to hear this speech and expecially because its coming from the president himself. Also that’s probably a lot of parents reason for not wanting their kids to hear the speech.

    The part of the speech that I think touched me the most was when he talked about him having no dad and how hard it was for his mom to be a single mother rasing kids on own because I can relate to that myself. And in the end that didn’t stop him from chasing his dreams because look who he is today the president. There was not any aspect in his speech I disagreed with.

  5. I think that Obama’s speech was more motivating, because he related to the students better. The students were also more interested in his speech than Reagan’s. Reagan just kind of talked about a lot of different things that were good but it wasn’t that interesting and it didn’t really relate to students that well.

    Obama’s speech was more student friendly because he related and talked about himself and understood what students were going through in school and outside of school. Reagan’s speech wasn’t as student friendly because he didn’t really address the students or their education as much.

    It was more motivating because he was down to earth with the students and was very positive in talking about their future and how they can succeed in whatever they choose to do in life. Also how he said there’s no excuse to not try because a person can never know if they can be good at something even if it takes a while a person can succeed at whatever they want to do if they try and keep trying.

    I disaggree. I don’t understand why parents wouldn’t want their kids to watch the speech. I thought it was a good speech and very positive for students. It had a good message and was very motivating.

    The part of the speech that touched me the most was when he talked about how no matter what you can succeed in life. Just because of things that happened in your past doesn’t mean you cant change it or try and make your life better.

  6. Yes, because in one of the speeches one of the guy that was speaking he used really big words he was trying to explain that to students and what if they didn’t understand what he was talking about in his speech, the thing that he was mostly talking about was the government and not about our future. But in the other speech we could understand what he was trying to tell us students about our future and about our life and what could happened if we make a change now before we end up doing something we will regret later in life.

    Yeah it was more students friendly because in that speech he was talking about our future and about what we need and how we can change things in our life.

    Yes it was because he let a student talk before he did and I could understand him just fine and I also understood what he was talking about. How he was talking about our future “it doesn’t matter where in life now it matters where you will end up at in the future.
    In a way I do but at the same time they could learn something from his speech. And how they can do in their in there future and what they can also change now before anything.

    No there wasn’t I liked his speech because it is true how he said all kids aren’t perfected and some don’t have their support from both parents and sometimes they can feel lonely and they don’t even know where their will be at in the future. We also don’t know where we will be after high school it depends on all of us and our future.

  7. 1# Yes obama’s speech was way more clear and interesting and politically motivating then Reagan’s. Because of the enthusiasm in obama’s speech was good an it felt like he really wanted to be there to make the speech, As for Reagan’s was boring because his expression in saying the speech. An his eye contact an body position an the tone of his voice when he said it.

    2# yes obama’s was way more student friendly because of the way he came in an the clearness of his speech.

    3# it was very motivating because of what he was saying in the speech on how to do better an it is up to us to make the change.

    4# I very well disagree because the speech was very informative and motivates you to do better not just in school but life

    5# the whole speech was touching an there was nothing I did not agree with it was all good

  8. Reagan’s speech seemed to be more motivated to please his political constituents, because he didn’t write the speech and it really didn’t address the students at all.

    Obama’s speech was more student oriented I feel because he related to the students.

    Obama’s speech was not, in my opinion, motivating in the least. The only thing that he was trying to achieve was to gain the support of the parents by telling them everything a parent wants to hear regarding their child.

    I feel it is perfectly fine with not wanting your child to hear something assuming its on rational terms not racial of prejudicial stereotypes.

    I really didn’t feel a connection with either president’s speech, they are both just two more politicians in my book…

  9. I think Reagan’s speech was more political but wasn’t directed towards the kids.
    Obama’s speech was very motivating. To stay in school and take any educational opportunities thrown at you is important. I disagree with parents having their students opt out of the speech. It was an important message that needed to be heard from students from all around the world. The part where Obama explained his childhood and how he got to where he is now touched me the most. It just proves no matter where you came from you can always follow your dreams and achieve your goals.

  10. Yes one speech seemed more motivated. The Obama speech was more directed to the kids then the other speech. Yes the Obama speech was way more student friendly because he talked more about the kids. Yes it was motivating it truly inspired me. No if I had a kid I would of let him watched this. The whole speech motivated me and I agree with him all the way.

  11. Reagan’s speech was more politically motivated than Obamas because Obama talked more about our life and future and actually talked about student problems. Obamas speech was more students friendly then Reagan’s because he actually involved us students. Obamas speech wasn’t motivating at all its what I hear from my dad every day so he only difference is it came from the president so no motivation there. I disagree because most of those parents im pretty sure don’t give motivational talks to there children so who better to give it them then Mr. President himself. Honestly im not trying to act like I don’t care or all bad but none of it touch me at all because one speech talks about the government which I really don’t care and the other like I said I here motivation talk everyday.

  12. 1. Did it seem like one speech was more politically motivated than the other? Explain.
    2. Was one speech more "student friendly" than the other? Please explain your answer.
    3. Was Obama's speech motivating? Why or why not?
    4. Do you agree or disagree with parents having their students "opt out" of the Obama speech? Please explain.
    5. What part of the speech touched you the most? Was there any aspect that you did not agree with?


    It did seem like Obamas speech was more politically motivated then the other one because Obamas speech was more meaning ful. Obama stayed on topic, I think he did a awesome job.
    The one speech was more student friendly than the other because Obama wants us to succeed in life, also stayed on topic, and talked about his childhood.
    I thought Obamas speech was very motivating. It tell us that he wants the best of us and never give up.
    I don’t like the idea how parents didn’t want there kids to listen to Obamas speech, I thought it was meaningful. Not like he was putting us down or somethin like that. Some parents need to be less strict.
    I didn’t disagree on anything he said. I liked how he cares about us students.

  13. Not one of them was more politically motivated then the other.
    One did motivated me and was more student friendly, the Obama speech did, when he talked about staying in school and doing you’r work, and even if you fell at something it dusn’t mean give up it means try harder te next time. I think the Obama one was motivating because he wasn’t trying to push any thing he was telling us how he felt about things and were he came from and who he became, and he showed every one ever though you come from a crapy background you can become any thing you set your mined to. I think it is crap that some of the parents hat there child leave the room if there school showed the speech, there wasn’t any thing wronge eith it at all. He wasn’t telling them to vote fore him or any thing. One of the thing that tuched me the most as when he refourd to people that every one looked up to and we kinda new something about them. He didn’t talk about any think I didn’t agree with.

  14. The Speech was more motivating then the other. Ronald Reagan’s speech seemed more forward for an adults understanding rather than a pre-teens understanding. His vocabulary was very advanced. In my opinion I don’t think the kids even comprehended to what the speech was about. Reagan’s Speech didn’t have any humor to it or anything it just seemed like a boring speech,

    Of Course! Obama’s speech was incredible. Obama went through the struggles that our students go through now. He’s come to an understanding that in order to succeed it’s going to take amount of struggles and effort to get there.

    Obama’s speech was motivating. In his speech was about going to school in order to make a life maintain. Make your parents happy. Make something of yourself. Feel accomplished that now you heard the words of someone else to finish school.

    I disagree. Honestly there’s nothing bad in the speech for a kid not too watch. Obama isn’t offending or saying anything to offend anybody. He’s the words of wisdom for children to hear and for the parents to understand how the new living is going to come to life.

    I don’t have a favorite part of the speech but I do know that the whole presentation was awesome. Knowing that somebody wants to make the change for our country to in order to live better is a big thing. There was nothing about Obama’s speech that I did not agree with

  15. It seemed to me that Regan's speech was more politically motivated, he talked more about the governments and politics than anything. I think Obama's speech was more student friendly. He was more trying to connect with the students and talking about what they can do with their lives if they try. I think Obama's speech was motivating because he was using examples that some of the students could relate to. I disagree, I heard nothing wrong with his speech and nothing to me sounded inappropriate. The part that touched me the most was when he was talking about the different people that he knows that has dealt with hardships and still has made it.

    Yes, I think Obamas speech was more motivated because he spoke directly to the students and made a connected.

    Obamas was more student friendly because he knew how to relate to them.

    3. Was Obama's speech motivating? Why or why not?
    I don’t think it was, because I did not pay much attention to what he was saying

    4. Do you agree or disagree with parents having their students "opt out" of the Obama speech? Please explain.
    My opinion is neutral on that subject because it is their child and they can do whatever you want

    No part of the speech touched me, there were no aspects that I did not agree with

    Yes.Obama connected with the student’s way more than the first speech you could hear cheering and a response to his speech.
    Yes. He was telling stories about bout being on bottom and working your way to the top.
    Yes. It’s a choice you can make some people don’t like him so they don’t want there kids to have anything to do with him.
    Probly the making your own opportunities you do have to get up and do something for yourself if you want tot get anywhere

  18. Barack Obama’s speech was more politically motivating than the other because his point was more clear than Reagen’s.


    Obama’s speech was more “student friendly” than Reagen’s because he spoke to the students directly, he stayed on topic, and he used words that the students would understand.


    Obama’s speech was more motivating because he gave examples of success and how they achieved their goals. He also made his speech so we can relate to what he was saying.


    I disagree with parents having their children “opt out” of political speeches. I think that if a child is interested in going to see the president and to hear his speech, they should be able to have that opportunity.


    I wasn’t really touched by any of Obama’s speech. I wasn’t really able to hear all of Obama’s speech, but from what I did hear, I did agree with.

  19. 1 . yes obama made it more clear to the students that our education is our future and we have to take control of our nations future.


    2. Obamas speech was defiantly more student friendly then Regans speech, because Regan didn’t even talk to the students about the importance of our education like Obama did.

    3. Obamas speech was very motivated and touched me , made me realize that our education is important and we need to take a stand now to better our nations future.

    4. I disagree just because he is African doesn’t mean he can make a point and maybe change their kids life by helping them see clearer on our nations problems.

    5. I think the part of the speech that touched me the most was the part when he gave a whole bunch of examples of celebrities and how they failed but got back up and achieved. Another part of the speech that touched me was when Obama mentioned real citizens and what they had to go through like jasmine Perez.

    1. Yes, Obama’s speech was more motivating than the other because his voice sounded more exciting and more attention grabbing.
    2. Yes, Obama’s speech was more “student friendly” because he related more to the students than Reagan did.
    3. Yes, Obama’s speech was motivating because he made his speech so that in a way it could relate to every type of person in the world.
    4. No I don't agree with the parents having their students "opt out" of the Obama speech because some of their reasons is because of racism. But, then again its their choice on what they do.
    5. The part of speech that touched me the most was in Obama’s speech. It touched me when he said that everyone fails in the world even the greatest people of the world and even if you fail, if you try to succeed in something, you will.! But as long as you try. He kind of in a way gives students hope that they can do anything, as long as they try for it. There was really no aspect that I did not agree with.

  21. Obama’s speech was more politically motivates. He spoke for our time and explained why he thought this. Obama’s speech was more student friendly also, he used smaller words and explained a lot better the Regan did. Yes Obama’s speech was motivating because he had emotion and told us what will happen in the future if we don’t change. I disagree with parents opting out there kids from Obama’s speech because he had a lot to say that was positive. I think they did that because they don’t like the fact a black man is leading us and actually wants to change our world. The speech it’s self didn’t touch me but it had a positive message. But I didn’t agree with how they choose what school they were going to host this speech at.

  22. Yes Obama’s was more motivating because I could really connect with it and it made me feel like every one in this country was worthy of the future of out country. I think Obama’s speech was more students friendly because he used words that the students could understand got right to the point and actually interacted with the school.
    I think that parents that keep their kids from something like this are basically keeping their children from learning about more things than what they are limited to at home and in the classroom. I think the part that touched me the most was that he basically told the students they could do anything if they work towards a better life no matter what economic background.
