I was hoping this was satire, but I see it is not. SMH.

If I had children in school I would not want an illiterate teacher. Go figure!

Instead of identifying and addressing the causes of disproportionate performance, they eliminate the test. No test, no problem!

Why have any tests at all. Students aren’t taught anything so why does a teacher have to know anything?

...it Hurts Diversity.

And the corollary is: Diversity Hurts Education.

Sounds like a bumper sticker, doesn't it?

Some of the teachers I had when I went to school in upstate NY from 1942 through 1954 are still alive and I wonder what they think of this. I know one of them is a liberal today because he married a high school friend of mine and WHEW are they ever liberal!! Those who have gone before will be spinning in their graves. Not one of them would put up with any of the current education theories from that state or any other...Thank goodness they meant business when they taught us (even tho’ we weren’t appreciative at the time)and no student has forgotten them.

These sh!tholes are “sanctuaries” because while Americans flee, they only appeal to Third Worlders that are even worse off. This is happening all over my state of NJ; the better areas used to attract people from collapsing ones, but now those fleeing don’t even re-settle in the state - they leave altogether (especially young people starting off - they don’t want to buy into an annual property tax bill of $10K as soon as they buy a home).

The original slump in NJ occurred in the NYC suburbs; now it is pronounced in those areas (northwest and central Jersey) where NJ taxpayers used to re-settle as the abandoned the former.

Illiterate "teachers" are under-represented in schools. This is only fair to do. /s

Let's see - education/teaching requires effective communication. Effective communication requires literacy.

What could possible go wrong here?
