a positive place to be. some say that mandate might go a little too far. julie witty and amy rokowski are both teachers and they are yearbook advisors and join us live. good morning to you. good morning. so the idea is you wanted everybody to be pictured in the yearbook as much as possible, right? yes. everybody who wants to be in the yearbook and everybody who is involved in the school. it is a reflection of their year. and we tell their story. ok. so if somebody is on the swim team, the national honor society, deco, all that stuff, they re going to be represented in those club pictures. yes. what happens with we were talking during the break. i remember kids when i was growing up never really came into the school. they sat out in the car and smoked something so they would not be reflected in many pictures. right. and we understand that. we simply want to offer the opportunity to acknowledge as many students as we can. whether they re active in just the classroom or th
between our two countries continue to grow stronger. the president, of course, spent part of his boyhood here from 1967 to 1971, ages 6 to 10. aides say the president wants to give indonesia a larger role with the u.s. relationship with southeast asia. that s keeping with the rebalancing theme in this trip. we won t see the billions in new trade deals we saw the president announce in india. officials do want a stronger, strategic relationship with indonesia. and need this country s help in isolating extremist muslim groups and muslim nations like iran, indonesia, of course, the largest muslim nation in the world. dana, back to you. thanks very much, wendell. they re 12 hours ahead of us. 7:06 their time there. let s talk a little bit about something the president during one of his q&a s with students at xavier s, a jesuit school in india. one of the kids wanted to know his opinion on jihad and, of
say the chance that shifting winds could blow the ash from the eruption into air force one s flight path between here and seoul, south korea may force the president to leave a few hours early. he and the first lady were only planning to spend about a day here anyway. the president spent four years here when he was growing up from 1967 to 1971, ages 6 to 10. the school he attended is still open. house he lived in is still there. there s no plans for him to actually visit them but people in jakarta can actually go on obama tours and see the places that were important to him. he was welcomed here with a red carpet ceremony meeting right now with the president. the two are scheduled to hold a news conference in about 45 minutes. the highlights of this trip, a visit to the country s largest mosque, this is the world s largest muslim nation and a speech at indonesia university. as i said, this is the largest muslim nation in the world but
activities. so what do you do for the kid who just isn t there much? well, there s nothing that we can do. i mean, there are students also who don t want to be in the book. we ve had students who say i don t want to be interviewed and we certainly respect that. uh-huh. this is just an opportunity to put those students maybe a little quiet, and maybe a little shy, and may have come knocking at our door and said we want to be in the book. we seek out those students and try to offer them an opportunity to be in the book. for people critics who say look, this is kind of like the mentality of tee ball where everybody gets a trophy at the end. they don t put it in the time but they re still in the yearbook a bunch of times. right. you know, it s important that we acknowledge this is a philosophy we have. we feel that the story is really the story of the entire school and that everyone really deserves to be remembered whether they were the most active or they just had a small
