Obama On Education Reform

Here’s the education nut of Obama’s address last night:

But we know that our schools don’t just need more resources. They need more reform. That is why this budget creates new incentives for teacher performance; pathways for advancement, and rewards for success. We’ll invest in innovative programs that are already helping schools meet high standards and close achievement gaps. And we will expand our commitment to charter schools.

Sounds like he’s still standing firm on merit pay and charter schools.
