Cerf has answered one of your questions. ...Jazzman,<br />Cerf has answered one of your questions. Go to the NJDOE homepage. The memo is amazing!<br />1. He confuses companion & comparison ( no big deal)<br />2. He confuses passing the NJASK language arts literacy in 3rd grade with reading on grade level! This may not seem like much to someone not in the field but, it would be like an electrician not knowing the difference between DC & AC?<br />3. He confuses opportunity with achievement.<br />4. He misstates the NJEA position on the achievement gap<br />5. parents in the burbs will not be pleased if they digest the essence of the message. he wants equal proficiency for all. <br />6. If this memo ever gets linked to Chris Christie, Christie will never win the conservative vote. Cerf is a proclaimed Democrat who believes in equal results not equal opportunity. <br />7. Why is there no mention of the " achievement Gap" between whites and Asians? (the Asains do better across the board. all grades, all districts all subjects.<br /><br />Cerf is losing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
