Jersey Jazzman has a district to give to KIPP for the challenge: Camden, New Jersey.
The stars are aligned.
Chris Christie wants to take away any control from the citizens of Camden anyway.
The Democratic boss is an ally of Christie and won’t put up any resistance.
Chris Cerf, the acting commissioner of education, is a Broadie and he would certainly support the transfer of power to KIPP>
What about it, KIPP?
Take over a low-performing district and show how you can save every single child.
No child left behind.
Their zip code in Camden should not be their destiny.

KIPP TO CAMDEN! Show us what you can do! Put up or shut up! Make this viral.
You can do it….remember..knowledge is power! Prove to everyone you are the real deal….you can save and teach anyone to be successful if they just work hard. Poverty is not destiny.
KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP! KIPP!
YOU CAN DO IT!
Diane, I suggest you produce a short video of your challenge to Kipp to take over Camden and place it on Youtube with links to twitter. Inform your twitter followers and ask them to twitter their friends/teachers and help make viral
I don’t know how to make a video.
Diane
I know someone who’d be more than happy to help, if you want to do it.
kipp in camden! lets get don king to promote…. dont think they will show up unfortunately
Like I said, John; there’s your challenge. You can prove to all those critics that it really can be done. This could been a turning point in history. So, what’s it going to be?
No one should hold their breath waiting for this to happen. Great idea, just “reformers” would not know how to handle having t o put up or shut up.
FIRE DUNCAN! Hire Ravitch!
Like my grandma used to say, the proof is in the pudding! Come on KIPP! Let’s see just how full of amazing you are! If what you claim is true, you’ll save an entire city’s children! AN ENTIRE CITY!!! Why on earth would you decline a challenge like this one?
And Christie and Cerf will be your BFF’s….what could be better?
Kipp won’t take the offer. Camden can hire Michelle Rhee. She did wonders in DC.
Let’s see a miracle please! Covers off, this should be better than one of David Copperfield’s illusions. It really is okay if you show us your secret, you can patent it and still make a profit, we just want to save our kids. Please share the secret with us. What’s that? You just can’t? Could it be that you really don’t know anything we don’t, and you are admitting that you can’t change the world? You don’t really have a secret do you?
I’m hoping. But like Disney, when you wish upon a star….
