As far as I know, nothing of substance was done at my school, or district, with the President's speech. Heck, even my evening school colleague didn't show it, and she is as liberal - and dumb - as they come.
Of course, we have been back at work for a month and a half, and it is a little bit late for a "back to school" speech.
