Presidential Debate

On last night's debate, Eduwonk says that

Both candidates for president mentioned education early and often, sometimes even in surprising ways. President Obama mentioned Race to the Top three times, he made a veiled reference to the Common Core (and the role the feds had in supporting it), and he (sorta) endorsed class size reductions... Governor Romney also praised Duncan and Race to the Top, but in the (education) quote of th­e night he said:

I’m not going to cut education funding. ...I’m not planning on making changes there.

The "(sorta) endorsed class size reductions" is a reference to Obama's "wonderful young lady ....she’s got 42 kids in her class.... That is not a recipe for growth; that’s not how America was built." Okay, but that doesn't go very far. It does seem obvious that neither candidate would be interested in doing what I think they ought to do...
Or then again, maybe not.
