Word Jazz served (mostly) daily. Education, politics, music, the arts, New Jersey, and whatever else strikes me.

I will protect your pensions. Nothing about your pension is going to change when I am governor. - Chris Christie, "An Open Letter to the Teachers of NJ" October, 2009
This is getting so that I'm getting like them in that if they don't have any education credentials I discount what they have to say out of hand. That's wrong, I know, but when those IN the trenches are constantly dismissed as irrelevant this is the mental push-back that results.
As for unions, go to North Carolina where they don't have unions or strong ones, and their schools are loaded with cronies and nepotism-type hires. This is from a source that actually works in NC. Also it is true that adult teachers are the ones with union affiliation, not students.
I actually received an e-mail in my school k-12 account from John Stossel's group hawking products to be used in the classroom. They cover a wide range of issues. Hmmm I wonder just exactly what type of information he wants to peddle to teachers. What a joke. He attacks us and we're suppose to buy stuff from him.
