OLD BRIDGE, N.J. (CBS 2) — Determined to turn New Jersey’s education system on its head, Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday unveiled a tough-love reform package that will make classroom achievement — not seniority or tenure — the basis for pay hikes and career advancement in Garden State public schools.

Christie is turning his take-no-prisoner’s style to the classroom, demanding a top to bottom overhaul of how New Jersey students learn and teachers teach. And that means undoing tenure, seniority and other union work rules.

I think the NJEA's collective heads just exploded!!

Wow.   You can be assured that the entire country is watching this.   

Christie is kicking some serious ass.  I wish he was our governor.

This is not going to go down well with the education majors over at the dump.  Not well at all.   :naughty:
All I can say is: Go Christie.  It is, after all, for the children.
