Tuesday thoughts and links: State of the Commonwealth, Fayette schools, and more...

• Gov. Steve Beshear will give his State of the Commonwealth address tonight.  Let's hope he calls for charter schools, increased transparency and accountability, spending cuts in state government, and making Kentucky a Right to Work state...I won't hold my breath.
• Fayette County Schools superintendent Stu Silberman has announced his retirement. You can view a recent performance evaluation here. Some how that evaluation seems to lack any metrics or details.
• An Ohio woman was recently jailed for trying to send her children to a better school...wow.
