It turns out that Presidents like to visit schools and deliver remarks. President George HW Bush told a group of junior high students, \u201cI\u2019m not here to tell you what to do or what to think. Maybe you\u2019re accustomed to adults talking about you and at you; well, today, I\u2019m here to talk to you and challenge you. Education matters, and what you do today, and what you don\u2019t do can change your future.\u201d\nIn 1988, President Reagan told Junior High students they were living in a \u201ctime of unlimited possibilities, bounded only by the size of your imagination, the depth of your heart, and the character of your courage.\u201d But earlier, in 1982, he went a step further. The President visited Providence-St. Mel\u2019s High School in Chicago, and actually answered questions. The kids didn\u2019t mince words \u2013 they asked him tough questions\u2026from the meaning of the Falkland Island crisis, to the economy to nuclear weapons to gun control.
