But last week she started off her speech by saying that "educational reform is the number one issue of my career," especially the state of America's public school system. One expects such a comment to be followed by talk of school funding, vouchers, busing, bilingual education, the condition of inner city schools, teacher testing, charter schools and other components of the national debate on this subject.
