Jersey Jazzman gives the highlights (or low points) of a very bad, very terrible, truly awful week for corporate reformers in Néw Jersey. It started with Cami Anderson’s grilling by a legislative committee, followed by the NJ state board of education’s admission that students could opt out; and capped by the revelation that the NJ Charter School Association filed an ethics complaint against a Rutgers professor for identifying herself as a Rutgers professor when expressing her views.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Halle-looooo-ooo-ooo-oooooo-jah.

Good! Let’s have a funeral, and get back to real teaching and learning!

I’d prefer a good funeral pyre just to make sure the bastards couldn’t come back. (and if they did, I might listen to them)

Those reformy types hate when they get outed. Keep up the good work people.

J Jazzman’s post was terrific, as usual.
But see also NJ Spotlight 1-13-15 article by John Mooney that NJ is conducting review re Cami Anderson’s bonus (up to 20% of her 2013-14 salary $247K).

Booklady,
As you probably know, there is a salary cap for superintendents in Néw Jersy, but not for the ones appointed by Governor Christie like Cami Anderson, whose salary is about $100,000 over the cap.

Yes, and when we hope C Anderson will resign, it wouldn’t be to work on Cory Booker’s staff because she earns more than a US senator.
