President Obama’s Speech to YOU!• You guys are a model for what’s happening all
across the country.• Reforming education is the responsibility of every
single American - every parent, every teacher, every business leader, every public official, and yes, every student.
• We’ve got to give our children the same world class education that you are getting right here at TechBoston, and as long as I am President, that’s what I’m going to be fighting for right alongside you.
• We have a moral and economic imperative to give every child a chance to succeed. A budget that sacrifices our commitment to education is a budget that sacrifices our country's future.
