South Jersey districts are getting blasted because of budget cuts. Collingswood BOE is cutting 12 while hiring an an 6 figure administrator “with a grant.”
You can’t compare the two. First teachers have supported issues which have led to their own in class problems. Not all mind you but a large majority who saw the Union as their life support going forward. I have always believed in teachers making a good living. In NJ , California ,NY a teacher with some additional education and longevity can do well. How many kids come from homes with no parental involvement? At least one strong parent who can maybe discipline their child to treat teachers with respect. The end all is this theory that if we throw money at the problem it is going to get better or even solved. That doesn’t work period.
So you rag on about someone buying a “ cheap” home with perhaps lower taxes? Does that make you feel more worthy? Sorry you are way out of line. Be thankful if you were able to buy in a better area. Better practice what you preach.There are some great teachers and that as has always been the case… some who do not belong in the classroom claiming to be educators.
Well: LAH-DEE-DAH!!! You live in the New Providence School district. Good for you! I’m sure you worked your ass off to earn that and no one should ever take that away for you.
If you mean "equate" rather than "compare," I think I can do it. And you are free to counter by explaining why such an equation is not valid. I would be very interested in that, actually.
So fail Them all. If I guess that’s why people get frustrated with education these days. If the kids don’t do the work. Fail them. Don’t follow the rules. Fail them. Won’t abide by school policy. Fail them. Instead, we just pass them and complain that the behavior doesn’t change
Does it matter? My wife had that happen. School told her that she couldn’t fail anyone because of covid. She said you can’t, but I can. She sent an email to the kid, parents, and department head saying she earned an F. Then put an F is as her final grade. Told the admin to change it if they wanted to
I think that's great. It's how things are in my educational Utopia.
No. Trenton/Murphy decided to calculate state school aid differently. Seems like a lot of suburban middle-class towns are taking the brunt of the changes. East and South Brunswick have laid off 50-60 employees each.
first off, you're not having any discussion on teaching and school funding that is devoid of politics so stop being naive
Yeah, agreed. It was pretty good for a while. I will be staying out of it from this point...
I am curious on the change in funding formulas however but agree, stepping out
Are you talking about all police, firefighters, electricians, plumbers, steelworkers, autoworkers, and others?
Teachers, federal and state gov'ment workers, professors, etc. Tons of lazy people love unions.
Trenton is getting an extra $40m in state aid. I wonder if that will work? LOL!NJ released state aid numbers for the 2024-25 school year. See how your district did
New Jersey's K-12 districts will see over $900 million more in state aid this year. But many will still see drops in aid. Here are the numbers.www.northjersey.com
State aid to schools actually increase 900 million. I thought many schools in South Jersey budget was cut since the prior leader of the Senate was from South Jersey and gave them priority .Many upper middle class schools especially in North Jersey have significant increases.
Murphy told reporters that 423 school districts will get additional aid, 15 districts will receive the same amount as this year and 140 will lose some aid in the proposed K-12 budget.
Schools are simply getting what they were supposed to get based on the agreed upon formula. What they were getting in the past wasn’t based on the actual rulesNJ released state aid numbers for the 2024-25 school year. See how your district did

Stop. No competent teacher is getting fired for failing a kid that deserves to fail. The kid and family were warned multiple times, was offered extra help, offered extra credit, and was repeatedly warned in writing. You have teachers fondling teens who don’t lose their job but you think someone whose actually following protocol Will?
TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS!!!
9 out of 10 times, the admins will do their shenanigans.
There are definitely too many admins in NJ but your hate for them is but much. You can’t have it both ways. Either they don’t do anything and aren’t needed or the my are the cause of all problems. Can’t be both
Maybe just a little less of them?
Nobody said they wouldn’t support them. They said they’d fire them for the F.
Shouldn't you be against unionized labor as well since the prevailing wage impacts the economics of both the state and county you live in?
Hope you’re not on a company computer because how can you possibly be cost effective posting here all day. They check those things sometimes.
+1
Calling people out is not considered HATE. If that was the case 80% on this board wants me dead
When every single post is about admins it’s beyond calling them out. Even when someone makes a legit complaint about teachers you ignore that and bring up admins
