New Jersey Unions Demand State Hire Teachers Who Struggle To Read Or Write

Let’s say your child, like the majority of schoolchildren in America, is having trouble reading and doing math. Your state offers a corrective. See if you can guess which:

Option No. 1: The state will hire teachers who excel in language arts and math. Option No. 2: The state will hire teachers who underachieve in language arts and math.

If you’re in New Jersey, your political leaders just chose Option No. 2.

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, with huge support from the New Jersey Education Association, signed Act 1669, which removed the requirement for those seeking to become teachers to pass basic tests in reading, writing, and mathematics. The so-called teachers union said that requiring teachers to be proficient in the three R’s is “barrier” to teacher certification.

This travesty of a law took effect on Jan. 1, 2025.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

The fired DEI hires who used to control commercial jets will be looking for jobs that they’re qualify for. Being illiterate has been major challenge for many DC DEI hires.

That’s why the kids DEI when they go to “school”. They spend too much time examining their ‘nads because their teachers don’t understand reading and writing either.

Long, long ago, I was a recruiter for a business college. I tried to enroll a young epileptic into the school. His current job was roofer.

Wonderful. We will have classrooms where the students are smarter than the teachers.

At least the left doesn’t have to pretend anymore. They have hit the outer guardrails on credibility and crashed right into left field.

Why do you think that the students are so dumb? You got the blind leading the blind. Or the stupid leading the ignorant. And the ignorant prefer to remain ignorant. Back when I was going to school, our teachers were a hell of a lot smarter than us and they taught us. They imparted their knowledge and wisdom to us and we learned. That is not the case today. The students are smarter than the teachers.

They must keep creating the dependent class.
It’s job security for them.

Student: “Reading is hard!”

Teacher: “I know that’s right!! Let’s watch a video instead.”
