Perhaps they just want their kids to be kids for a little while longer. I'm certain that, upon reading the speech, many parents looked forward to a pep talk from POTUS. I know it's easier to think of them all as bitter, boom stick, sky ghost morans (incorrectly spelled for effect) - you know, because they disagree with you.

Quoted for truth.
I still stick by original assessment and question, If this was so important and not a political ploy and pandering and trying to get to the parents through the children..... then why not have it done later so that parents could attend with their children?????
The president "giving homework" to elementary students while we are at war, our economy is falling apart, our infrastructure is decrepit and needs serious work, the country is extremely divided in so many ways, crime is increasing, drug use is increasing, wages are decreasing, we are bailing out the ultra rich and costing our future generations to live with those costs, the citizens are being told to shut up and are flat assed ignored.... and Obama blames all of that on W.
What's Obama's solution.... address the kids about staying in school and letting them know he was once like them... of course his kids aren't, they go to private schools and well, he was educated where exactly???? What public schools did he go to??? But he was just like that kid in the inner cities and rural areas.
But lying to kids and trying to tell them you were just like them without telling them the whole truth, is a good thing, it's not politicizing and trying to win kids over, not at all.
