Jersey Jazzman: Boo-Friggin'-Hoo

Jersey Jazzman: Boo-Friggin'-Hoo

Boo-Friggin'-Hoo

Fellas, you reap what you sow:
A team of Democratic heavy-hitters soundly rejected an advertisement released today by the New Jersey Education Association, calling it “shallow name calling” and holding it up as an example of what has gone wrong with the state’s public school system.

The comments from these individuals are oftentimes intriguing, especially when they suggest that the person is responding from an institutional perspective.

Last week a story that originally aired on News10 in Stockton, California caught my eye. I was not the only one to pounce on the clip about the alleged Department of Education's S.W.A.T. Kenneth Wright had his door destroyed at approximately 6 AM. The story also sparked an curious response from a reader.

SCHOOL LIBRARIANS GET THE THIRD DEGREE

BY GENA HASKETT / BLOGHER ORIGINAL POST | HTTP://BIT.LY/LRVAGL

June 15, 2011 9:00 am - The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is having serious budget problems. There is a a section on district web site that shows a chart of how they spend the money. One of the LAUSD solutions is the closing of elementary and middle school libraries.

Most of the library staff have received layoff notices. Senior high school libraries will remain open for the present time.

There is a ignorant persistent cultural murmur about we have the Internet now, so we don’t need educated book pullers anymore. So that we are on common ground, please watch this video about what 21st-century school librarians actually do for K-12 students.

School librarians or teacher librarians in California are dual credentialed. This means these are teachers with a library certification,
