Fordham's Mike Petrilli and AEI's Rick Hess have penned a thoughtful piece that you can find on NRO today. They discuss Education Secretary Arne Duncan's recent (&, they argue, quite important!) speech about ?doing more with less' in education and dealing with?the ?new normal' of tight financial times.

This was a speech unlike any we have heard from a U.S. Secretary of Education ? Republican or Democrat. Duncan noted that resources are limited, emphasized the need to make tough choices, urged states and districts to contemplate boosting some class sizes and consolidating schools, and didn't spend much time trying to throw bones to the status quo.
