How much did the report cost?<br /><br />2. More Importantly, who paid for the report?<br /><br />could it be the Broad Foundation?<br /><br />3. Even more importantly, why can't our own state department of education do this? What happened to our whole NJ Smart program?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229042262802354432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-79800161936501694272012-11-28T05:13:36.125-08:002012-11-28T05:13:36.125-08:00A bigger challenge for Cerf one day will be avoidi...A bigger challenge for Cerf one day will be avoiding being carted off to jail.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-54945477729586261572012-11-27T15:32:00.032-08:002012-11-27T15:32:00.032-08:00I was listening to NPR this afternoon and this rep...I was listening to NPR this afternoon and this report was described as hailing charter schools as being much more successful than real public schools (charter schools are fake public schools, in my opinion). There was no nuance or in depth reporting because it was just a brief news blurb on NPR. You came away from the news item with the message that charter schools are good, regular public schools are failing. Sigh, the crap never ends. I'd like to know how these charter schools compare to the highly successful suburban schools such as in Princeton, West Windsor or South Brunswick, etc. Christie, Cerf and all the deformers will be using this report to beat up on union teachers and the real public schools. So sad and so predictable.giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445832057107337104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-45609804719708087822012-11-27T15:09:14.746-08:002012-11-27T15:09:14.746-08:00They don't care what the data says unless they...They don't care what the data says unless they are using it to attack teachers or label public schools as "failing." Isn' tit ironic the way these data fetishists can't ever seem to get any of their data to align with their cock and bull fantasies about education? But then again when none of them know anything about education they are free to make it up as they go and hope nobody is paying attention. The same strategies served Dubya for 8 years and look how far the privatizers have come using the same approach. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125018774502675730noreply@blogger.com
