I'm sure Jordan is happy, though as the article points out the devil
is in the details...

it was hard not to be moved by Obama's sweeping vision for public
education in the U.S. He gave shout-outs to all of the right reforms--
merit pay, charter schools, national standards--tied knowledge to the
economy, and criticized American public schools and politicians
without apology:
... despite resources that are unmatched anywhere in the world, we've
let our grades slip, our schools crumble, our teacher quality fall
short, and other nations outpace us... It's time to expect more from
our students. It's time to start rewarding good teachers, stop making
excuses for bad ones. It's time to demand results from government at
every level. It's time to prepare every child, everywhere in America,
to out-compete any worker, anywhere in the world.
