All that spending must have something to do with Jerseys math and literacy rates, bottom five in the nation yet the spend more money than everyone else, and the teachers are making out lke bandits. Perhaps we should give teachers tenure after 1 year, why wait for 3.
I can confirm the education spending per capita side, but not the educational outcome side--where are you seeing NJ near the bottom?
Cant find the specific example,, here is a documentary called the cartel that shows my point. Please watch it, this wildefinitely change your mind/ <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QcVg9YM_SCg?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
odds of being fired as a tenured teacher..... 0.003% You really want to tell me that only 3 teachers out of 1000 deserve to lose their job? As the education systwem goes lower and lower..... And most grade 8 students are illiterate? Give me a break!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You should listen to your link. Your link say the problem is (administration) not teachers. Your link say New Jersey have too many districts, so they pay many (administrators) That is where the money is paid to, not the teachers and children.
