Flutterby™! : Letter to Governor Christie

Letter to Governor Christie from the New Jersey Teacher He Screamed At. Or, what happens when you have a genuine expression of ideas rather than attempting to communicate in sound bites.

I asked you one simple question yesterday. I wanted to know why you portray NJ Public Schools as failure factories. Apparently that question struck a nerve. When you swung around at me and raised your voice, asking me what I wanted, my first response “I want more money for my students.” Notice, I did not ask for more money for me. I did not ask for my health benefits, my pension, a raise, my tenure, or even my contract that I have not had for nearly three years.
