Speech-inaugural, implication towards students

Honestly, I am pretty sure that I was not introduced to inaugural speech during my school days. The only speeches that we looked into were speeches during school assembly or sports day. Thus I personally think that the teaching of inaugural speech to students would be a little bit boring as the subject and the content of the speech are more serious, and students don’t really understand the necessity of learning the speech. To the teacher, the content of the speech might not be so important but emphasize is put more on the presentation of the speech. But students rarely understood this, and they tend to shut down when they feel the content is boring. So I strongly feel that as a teacher, perhaps the teaching of this type of speech is suitable for pre-university students as to prepare them for the university style of learning but to incorporate the inaugural speech in the English language classroom would require a lot of effort from the teacher to ensure the learning would bored the students.
