through education you can also better
yourselves in other
ways you learn how to learn how to think
critically and find solutions to unexpected
challenges I remember we used to ask our
teachers why am I going to need
algebra well you may not have to
solve for x to get a good job or to be a
good parent but you will need to think
through tough problems you'll need to
think on your feet you'll need to know
how to gather facts and evaluate
information so Math teachers you can
tell your students that the President
algebra education also teaches you the
value of
discipline that the greatest rewards
come not from instant gratification but
from sustained effort and from hard
work this's a Lon lesson that's
especially true
today in a culture that prizes flash over
over
substance that tells us that the goal in
life is to be
entertained that says you can be famous
just for being
famous I me you get on a reality
show don't know what you've done
famous but that's not going to lead to
Lasting sustained achievement
achievement
and finally with the right education
both at home and at school you can learn
how to be a better human
being for when you read a great
story or you learn about an important
moment in
history it helps you imagine what it
would be like to walk in somebody else's
shoes to know their
struggles the success of our economy
will depend on your skills but the
success of our community
will depend on your ability to follow
the Golden Rule to treat others as you
would like to be treated
