Wrap: Missouri education officials from both the Department of Education and Missouri State Teacher's Association did not comment on President Obama's speech to American students.
The only person available for comment was the spokesperson from the Missouri State Teacher's Association Todd Fuller.
Fuller says the focus of presidential speeches is normally on the duties of parents and teachers.

| Description: "President Obama did a good job talking about responsibilities of students as well and that's a message that sometimes gets over looked, and it is an important one and I think it is one that probably resonated well with students." | |
While Fuller thought the President's speech was positive, top officials from the Missouri State Teacher's Association still withheld comment.
