WASHINGTON (AP) — Take responsibility for your education. Go to class and listen. Don’t let failures define you. That’s the advice President Barack Obama gave school children on Tuesda yin a speech that drew fire even before he delivered it. “We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems,” Obama said. “If you don’t do that — if you quit on school — you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.” The White House posted Obama’s remarks on its Web site Monday.—-Contact The Daily Reveille news staff at [email protected]
