He is well known in BOE circles for making a major gaffe during teacher negotiations, now referred as "An Alworth". New board members learn about it during their board member training with NJ School Boards. He is a legend in his own mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-15095516391264682092011-11-28T03:08:32.550-08:002011-11-28T03:08:32.550-08:00Everything I needed to know about Norm Alworth was...Everything I needed to know about Norm Alworth was revealed when I heard him refer to public schools as "government schools" -- the code extreme right-wingers use to degrade public education, driven by their hatred of all things provided by the public sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-61690690535014958382011-11-22T05:19:10.852-08:002011-11-22T05:19:10.852-08:00Hatred?

I don't know Alworth at all - I don't hate him.<br /><br />I am pointing out two things:<br /><br />1) Alworth is not an educator and is ill-qualified to make education policy, just like Bradford.<br /><br />2) He sound to me like he's worried about being relevant in a reformy world where Bradford is getting all the glory.<br /><br />That's it.<br /><br />By the way: if you own a business, you train your people, especially if you can't hire them with the skills you need right away. That's the way things work.<br /><br />And working for free for E3 all these years is not exactly a plus with me. I am staunchly against OSA.<br /><br />But I'm sure Alworth is a perfectly fine person - until I get indications otherwise, I'll take your word on that.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535645107179796099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9025948832913694345.post-55917400817634456262011-11-21T20:44:57.363-08:002011-11-21T20:44:57.363-08:00Alworth was been on BOEs from the 1990s, including...Alworth was been on BOEs from the 1990s, including presidential duties, and has been on the board of E3 -- unpaid-- for many years. Look at the NJ Spotlight interview...Alworth got involved in training local Patterson kids out of his own pocket when he was trying to hire them to his own busienss. Your hatred is misplaced with Alworth, Jazzman. He has earned his stripes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
