No one threw more money at Trenton than Jon Corzine, however, he couldn't keep up with the pace of corruption in both govt and ed admin. This is no secret - assemblypersons and legistlators joked about it openly, while 'Site Based Managers' in TP Schools promoted their god daughters out of the classrooms and into 'facilitators'. (To this day, I can't say facilitator w/o air quotes and a sneer). Christie has even less leadership than Corzine - not more - and no desire at all to level the playing field for underserved kids. Now he's rolling out 'strong principals' in Camden - which is another word for site based management, and will result in the same thing soon enough.Mrs. King's music studentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211235832988015448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-911740072676494242013-11-30T06:15:21.174-08:002013-11-30T06:15:21.174-08:00Where are all the billionaire blowhards, why can&#...Where are all the billionaire blowhards, why can't they chip in a few millions to renovate these horribly deteriorating schools? Oh right, throwing more money at the problem isn't the answer, according to the reformers and their lap dogs. Baloney, all the elite private schools have tons of money thrown at them and they have gorgeous campuses, small class sizes of 10 to 15 and enriched curriculums. It's so much more fun to contribute to NJ's top sport.....public school, teacher and NJEA bashing. Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418801372998968620noreply@blogger.com
