After the SOTU speech, there are large numbers of tweets (public education unions mainly) about Obama and his commitment to the education platforms he has favored. These include rewarding teachers that demonstrate effectiveness and is you caught it, getting rid of those that do not. He did mention "creativity" in teaching and not "teaching to a test."

What are the thoughts about this? Our public educational system and funding always is under scrutiny and debate.

I'm struggling with how his comments actually fit with what is going on throughout the country in education and all of the education legislation over the past decade.
