New Jersey Teachers Union: Not Only Do We Not Want Basic Skills Test For the Children We Supposedly Teach, We Want An End to Basic Skills Tests for Teachers, Too
You can always tell who the good employees are. They're the ones crying out, "We demand an end to objective evaluation of our job qualifications and job performance!"
Yep, qualified, productive people are always looking for ways to end measurement of job performance. Highly skilled people hate evaluations based on merit!One of New Jersey's main teachers unions is calling for the end of the basic skills test for certifying teachers. The New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) is advocating for the demise of the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators: Reading, Writing and Math. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's signing of Bill S1553 would eliminate that requirement; NJEA called the test "an unnecessary barrier" hindering the alleviation of teacher shortages. "When the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) adopted changes to the administrative code around teacher certification, it missed an opportunity to eliminate this requirement, which created an unnecessary barrier to entering the profession," stated NJEA. Passing scores for the basic skills test are 156 for reading, 150 for math, and 162 for writing. The maximum possible score is 200.So, if I'm reading this right, to teach children basic skills at a child level, adults have to score about 75% -- a C grade, in other words -- on a basic skills (for children) test. And our current crop of The Real Heroes and The Best and The Brightest finds this too difficult an ask.
Of course it's "discriminatory." NJ Governor is likely to give in to the teachers union, as Democrats always do. He's also going to make it easier for students to show "growth." In other words, he's going to make it easier for incompetent teachers to fail to teach their students by ending another objective measure of student, and therefore teacher, performance.
Certain educators don't have to take the basic skills test: those who achieve an SAT, ACT, or GRE score in the top third percentile of the year they took it, as well as those who obtain a master's or terminal degree with a 3.0 minimum GPA. Nicki Neily, founder and president of Parents Defending Education, insisted that there were better options for overcoming the teacher shortage other than reducing entry standards. "Teachers should be able to pass a basic skills test before they're tasked with educating children in those core subjects," said Neily. NJEA successfully advocated for the end of another teacher certification test last year, the educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA). NJEA criticized the edTPA as a costly, discriminatory, and unnecessary hindrance to overcoming the teacher shortage.
This covid fascist then claimed that anyone objecting to teaching children that they can decide to the opposite sex, or to be a cat or dog or unicorn, is an "extremist."
Murphy also indicated that his administration would put Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) "on a diet," which he concurred were "bureaucracy-like." The SGOs are long-term academic goals for students set by teachers in collaboration with supervisors. The governor's remarks elicited applause and cheers from the NJEA conference crowd: "No more SGOs!"
The governor called those critical of modern public educators "extremists" seeking to insert political ideology in schools, citing specifically those against LGBTQ+ ideology in classrooms. "They want to dim the light of truth and instead shroud our schools in the darkness of fear and intimidation," said Murphy. "Know that I have your backs unconditionally and always."Yes we all know that, Covid Tyrant. How was everyone's Thanksgiving weekend? Mine was a complete waste. Just slugged around.

Two reactions: First, this is highly likely to end up being a gang-related incident, a drug deal gone bad, intramural Muslim butchery, wrong-place-wrong-time, or anything other than a hate crime. I find it very hard to believe three nice innocent Palis -- in their kaffiyehs -- were out minding their own business, and some irate "white man" shot them.
Second, even if it is some kind of hate crime, then "meh." Hard for me to get worked up over a few of these savages getting a taste of their own medicine. Welcome to the party, pal!

I’m starting to think TPTB finally realize that Biden is such a catastrophe for them they’ll let a Republican (even Trump) win next year. They’d greatly prefer any republican but Trump but they’ll even abide Trump… they’ll just play the long game and wait out his 4 years and stymie him from within the fed bureaucracy much like they did in his first 4 years… then they can come back in 28 with a candidate that still has a functioning brain and is more presentable

That's just the unions controlling who can be a teacher.
Homeschooling shows that you don't need the teacher certification to produce superior results to the "trained" teachers.
The bureaucracy wants to make sure only well-indoctrinated people will indoctrinate children.

My sis has worked in 2 different inner city high school ones (one charter in Philly, one public) - she didn't last (she got hired midyear for one and left at the end, it was that bad). It was fascinating that kids wouldn't even stay in class. They just walked out and no one stopped them once they "showed up" for the day. Try teaching 9th grade English to kids who can't read and don't bother staying around to even try. She took her 1st day lesson plans mid year and tossed them to teach words. Literal words to try to get up to sentence reading for the few who stayed.

Kevin Drum:
n Washington DC's public high schools, about two-thirds of all students last year were chronically absent (missed 10%+ of all school days). About a third were profoundly chronically absent (missed 30%+ of all school days).
This is up considerably from the previous year, primarily because of excused absences: parents are actively holding back their kids from attending school at far higher rates than the past.

I still can't believe that teachers are allowed to unionize.
What is the purpose of a union?
To allow workers to do less work and be lazy-asses and still get promotions and increased pay for doing ever-decreasing work.

Unfortunately that is when she and her husband found out also. The funeral was Sat. Before the service started, my son informed me that his uncle on his father side had passed away at age 59. He had been in a nursing home for a few years since having two heart attacks and at least one stroke.
My son is dealing with phlebitis and may be flying to California this week so he may not be able to attend his uncle's funeral.
Hubbymayhem and I were ripping stuff that we can sell out of the old house. The phone company is infested with assholes who won't do their fucking job. And I'm gonna take up drinking as a hobby.
Other than that the holiday was just peachy. Thank you for asking.

"At the center of this debate is a dispute over to what extent social media and perceptions — rather than real conditions in the economy — are fueling voters’ angst.
There is at least some evidence that the digital world is painting a bleaker picture than the statistics support."
CNN's gone one better and declared that akshually, inflation is much better for the economy than deflation:
"But the problem with deflation is that when people begin to expect lower prices in the future, they have little incentive to make purchases right now. For instance, unless it was absolutely necessary, why would you buy a new oven today if you thought the price would go down significantly in a month?"

Haven't checked in a while, but don't they require you to have a teaching degree to teach? Meaning people with a degree in the actual subject they want to teach cannot do so? That seems an unnecessary barrier.
Demonstrating any sort of proficiency in what you are teaching? Not so much...

NJEA successfully advocated for the end of another teacher certification test last year, the educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA). NJEA criticized the edTPA as a costly, discriminatory, and unnecessary hindrance to overcoming the teacher shortage."
If teachers don't need to know anything, why require an Education Degree to be hired as a teacher? Because colleges make money dispensing Education Degrees. The Democrat/Education Complex is as hardcore and inseparable as are the Democrat/Media and Democrat/Union Complexes.

The food and service were fine. The neighborhood, though, has become a trashy theme park, with every other business, it seems, hawking tourist crap and "Voodoo" something-or-other. The streets -- in possibly the most famous hundred square blocks in America, mind you, supposedly a showplace and draw for tourist $ -- the streets are in terrible shape. Homeless huddle in alcoves at the rear of hotels and panhandlers roam on what used to be the main shopping street.

Depends on what you consider necessary. I replaced my oven earlier this year. Was it necessary? Not really. The oven still technically worked, but I had some complaints. I definitely waited for the oven I wanted to go on sale.

All of this is, according to the education industry, is a mental health issue. Schools need to hire more administrators, counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists. Give me more money.

In this country, Christianity has largely morphed into a cult of hatred.
Imagine claiming to be a follower of Christ and being upset for someone placing too much emphasis on the poor. Evangelicals possess an incongruent sham of an ideology.
They're blasting him for being "Christ-like". Smdh, and the American bishops wonder why people aren't going to church and filling their coffers.
Those are the same bishops who either molested children themselves, or turned a blind eye to the priests under them molesting kids.

Summit Public School District contains 9 schools and 3,895 students. The district’s minority enrollment is 40%. (Primarily, 18.7% Hispanic, 11% Asian, 4% Black.) 7.8% of students economically disadvantaged. 81% of high school students tested at or above the proficient level for reading, and 78% tested at or above that level for math.

He declared Robert E. Lee HS in Houston required students to salute a portrait of General Lee every morning after announcements.

Biden's hand clearly seen in the hostage talks...The White House also insists it has influenced Israel’s military tactics, pointing out that more than 100 aid trucks a day on average are getting into Gaza and that Israel is now allowing in some fuel...after the United States dispatched three senior military officers in late October to advise the Israelis on strategy, they sent only about a third as many troops into Gaza as they had initially planned.
@sahilkapur
This is a common mode of operating for President Biden. He prefers to try and get a result rather than win the news cycle with sound bites (sound bites that can be counterproductive to policy success).
The final agreement — the outlines of which had been on the table for weeks — wouldn’t have been accepted by Netanyahu without enormous pressure from Biden, according to a senior Israeli government official.
“This deal was a Biden deal, not a Netanyahu deal,” the official said.

Some of the questions are literally name the 12 months. Or name a country that borders the US. And you get people who have trouble. Multiple people. Are there really people out there like that? I can’t bring myself to believe that.

Just curious as to as to why you're calling her "sugar tits". She's not stupid. She is clearly against the anarchy, supports the teacher who supported Israel and the comment about ""we must respond with sensitivity" was sarcasm.

The teachers are definitely low quality, but I don't think most people here understand how truly off the rails bad the entire situation is in the inner cities.
Kids are commonly born with fetal alcohol syndrome and / or addicted to some substance. Dad splits the moment he's done ejaculating. Mom is a petty criminal with anger issues or she's constantly working low skill jobs. Sometimes she dumps the kid at Grandma's because she lost her job or she got kicked out of her apartment. The kid is constantly shunted from one school to the next because the Mom goes from one job to the next or moves in with anyone who dates her more than a couple of months.
Lots of these kids have seen murders, rapes, etc at a young age and or have been assaulted by several adults.
Kids tend to copy the behaviors of people around them and a vast plurality of their examples in the inner city are thug life, addicts, or have given up.

Someone posted a video from a birthday party for a 4-5 year old where the music was rappy, the decor was blingy, and the kid was waving around a gun (probably real, I'd guess) in sway with the music.
And he was flanked by parental figures nodding along with the music and loving what they saw.
But I'm racist for pointing out that this might not be ideal.

My brother has been working as the cleaning guy at various fast food restaurants (he doesn't want contact with the vaxxed).
Let's put it this way: at 100% of all restaurants where he's seen operations and food handling, you would not want to eat there. He doesn't avail himself of the free meal offered.

I went to middle school ruled by a vice principal who clearly was made very horny by the prospect of paddling students. It was all he talked about, and he was known to paddle without permission, which, I suspect, led to his ouster.

Ads that I saw on FB from Dallas ISD went something to the effect of “Are you a black teacher looking for a teaching job?” or “Are you a Latino teacher looking for a teaching job?”
Imagine if they straight up asked for white teachers and the nuclear levels of outrage that would be dealt.

One day, I was hanging with one of my friends, and I saw a study book, and asked what it was, he said, "a study book." Oh, I'm curious what they have to be proficient in.
LITERALLY like you said, basic stuff, which is fine, no reason to be dealing with theory and shit when you are teaching gradeschoolers, just give them the information that they need and show them how to use it, yay! right?
Nope. NOPE. NOPE! I flipped through and I asked which of his exes study book it was, not believing it could possibly be Patty's. She's a kind and thoughtful person who never came off as a dunce.
I was WRONG! Patty, like I said a wonderful person was embarrassingly deficient
