DES MOINES – President Barack Obama will be in Des Moines Monday at North High School and our local state representative Sharon Steckman announced Sunday night that she has been asked to attend – and might get to ask him some questions.
President Obama will join U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan as the Secretary brings his Sixth Annual Back-to-School Bus Tour to North High School in Des Moines, Iowa. The President and Secretary Duncan will host a town hall with high school students and their parents to discuss college access and affordability.
Rep. Steckman said Sunday evening that she is “so excited” at the prospect of meeting the president and participating in the town hall event. She said via social media that she was “asked to meet with our President tomorrow at North High School in Des Moines.”
Along with attempting to get Mr. Obama to sign a photo of her and Obama taken years ago, she may get to interact in the town hall meeting and ask questions.
She asked for “ideas for education questions” that should might ask “if given the opportunity” during the event”.
The town hall event in Des Moines is part of a “Ready for Success” tour which includes stops in seven states, highlighting achievements of educators, students, families and others in expanding opportunity for young people throughout the nation. The Administration has made expanding college access and affordability a priority.
What questions do you think Rep. Steckman should ask the President during the town hall event?

Text me you moron because you just gurgetated from high/low school and are applying for a public servant job.
You keep proving my point.
What a moron! You don’t want kids to be able to write their own name –just print it like long ago – or as long ago our kids can make their mark or sign with an X – no use writing letters anymore -just text- you my friend are a complete obama zoomie.
LOL Maybe you should write me a letter since you clearly can’t express yourself via typed print. You’re old and irrelevant to today’s world.
They deserve eachother. Both are a couple of pinheads.
Did you realize they do not teach cursive writing in schools anymore – everything is fourth grade level printing – govt dummy down high school grads with a 4th grade education – as for these two if I were attending a cow pie fling I would invite them along and use them as a shield.
LOL How old are you? Cursive handwriting is a dead and useless skill. Why waste time teaching something from a time gone by when kids can be learning skills relevant to today’s world? You’re another one of those “it was good enough for me” out of touch old people who votes down anything school related aren’t you? No wonder the USA lags behind every other civilized nation in education.
