I’ve been trying to figure out what to say about a State of the Union address that, on education at least, offered plenty of encouraging rhetoric but nothing new of substance. In the meantime, I’ve been reading about what other people are saying, and thought you might want to as well:

- Andy Rotherham, with probably the smartest and most straightforward analysis
- Rick Hess, who liked the music but not the lyrics
- Sara Mead, who is experiencing deja vu all over again
- Russ Whitehurst, who waxes poetic about political philosophy

-Mike Petrilli
