I highly doubt the new Governor plans on listening, but the NJEA put out an ad, which I've seen on TV hitting on the Governor's proposed budget cuts to education. In the ad, the Teacher of the year talked about being worried about the Governor's proposed cuts:"Many local schools will have to increase class size, lay off teachers and cut important programs. ... And the even larger cuts you propose for the next school year will make it even harder for children to succeed." The Governor didn't listen to the NJEA before, so I don't know that he'll start listening now. You can see the ad here:In advance of the Governor's budget address today, here is what the NJEA president had to say:"This budget is a disaster for public school children and for older students who want to further their education beyond high school," said Keshishian. "On the other hand, this budget is an unconscionable gift to those earning more than $400,000 a year. Gov. Christie is slashing education in order to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. They've also been protesting outside of his events and have a facebook group with over 51,000 fans organizing on the net. As I said at the start, I highly doubt he'll listen. The Governor seems to think that if the NJEA is attacking, he's doing something right. |
