Public Education in New Jersey

How timely my blog was about the UCC and public education. In today's Star Ledger (October 12,2008) John Mooney the education reporter for the Star Ledger wrote about the candidates and their positions on education and how it would affect New Jersey. The title of the article is: "Both Candidates want to see Uncle Sam in the Classroom". In the article Mr Mooney compares the effect "No Child Left Behind" has on a suburban community like Chatham with the effect it has on an urban community like Newark. It is vital for Newark to help equalize the educational experience for all children.

You may check both candidates education policies in the Star Ledger or other local papers or go to their websites and read them. I am not allowed to take sides on this blog. I just wanted you to be aware of the information.
