Read the excerpt from "President Obama's Third Annual Back to School Speech.” "Those are all questions that date back to this class that I took back in 8th grade. And here’s the thing: I still don’t always know the answers to all these questions. But if I’d have just tuned out because the class sounded boring, I might have missed out on something that not only did I turn out enjoying, but has ended up serving me in good stead for the rest of my life."

What argument does President Obama make in this excerpt?

Classes taken when young have a lasting impact on one's life.

Students should be open to new learning experiences.

Boring classes are just as important as interesting ones.

It is acceptable to do poorly in a class if you remember the material.
