NJ Ed Report published an excellent report yesterday about how the NJEA’s Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is sending unqualified teachers to teach in high-poverty Abbott districts. Thankfully, NJ Ed Report is a trusted outlet for NJ Department of Education (DOE) whistleblowers who blew the whistle on teachers being allowed to teach all-important physics classes (a building block for STEM subjects) without taking the legally required Praxis exams. What’s worse is that rather than fix the problem to ensure that only qualified teachers teach in Abbott schools, the governor’s office is telling DOE personnel to keep their hands off the “untouchable” CTL.

Once again, what we are really seeing is corruption (of the legal sort) by powerful, deep-pocketed special interests: corruption at the governor’s level and corruption of a purportedly independent research institution. Why? Because money talks. But please spare us the false rhetoric.
