Obama urges students to work hard, stay in school

Showing real leadership in spite of opposition from some Republicans in Congress, President Obama delivered an important speech yesterday to children throughout the USA. In it he said that education 'isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.'
