Here is the perfect speech for our President (or any future leaders for the matter):
Children, this year starts a new time in washington. I've been busy working hard to make improvements for this nation (my token statement). As you begin your new school year, I hope and trust you will also do your best in everything you do, because like me, we have many challenges ahead of us. I will be doing my best to improve education for you and expect you will do what is required to get the most from what is presented. Avoid the temptation to quit, avoid alcohol and drugs which will stop you from succeeding (though, crack didn't really do me any harm). Have a good year and stay focused.
There, simple, effective and the kids can go back to learning under the direction of their teachers. Best part, no hidden agenda (either intended or perceived) and it's done in a minute or less. Kids will feel like the President cares and parents could feel good knowing it was a simple "feel good" moment for the President.
