I keep playing for my kids over and over again that bit where the President tells American students that when they have a paper to write, they should write multiple drafts, not one. That's a homerun for me that already paid off during the drive home from school. The only downside is that I didn't have access to the computer and Eduwonk until my daughter finished the second draft of her English paper this evening. I will now think of the President as the English Teaching in Chief! Ah, but for we parents, much of the speech was extraordinarly invaluable.
