Speaking at the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Tuesday, Obama talked about moving beyond partisan bickering to overhaul the system.
"For decades, Washington has been trapped in the same stale debates that have paralyzed progress and perpetuated our educational decline. Too many supporters of my party have resisted the idea of rewarding excellence in teaching with extra pay, even though it can make a difference in the classroom. Too many in the Republican Party have opposed new investments in early education, despite compelling evidence of its importance."
Obama said that Americans need an effective education system to compete in the world economy. He stressed the responsibility of teachers in improving education standards.
"Let me be clear: If a teacher is given a chance but still does not improve, there is no excuse for that person to continue teaching," Obama said. "I reject a system that rewards failure and protects a person from its consequences."
