Maybe now people will actually believe us on threads all throughout the forums when we claim this, if we provide the link.

Many times I've said that NJ has some of the best schools in the country and some people like to tell me I'm wrong. This is both on NJ forums and general US/city vs city.

If I'm analyzing his FoxNewz-speak correctly, being a politician or union leader is something any uneducated bozo could do. Is that where CW30000 is coming from?

Would you truly like to discuss this topic & all of its intricacies; or would you like to continue to act like a butt hurt, bitter ex girlfriend?

I'm guessing the latter.

You live in a crowded, burning, mudslide and earthquake-havin sprawl-alopolis where half the population doesn't speak English yet you can't get Jersey out of your mind.

HAHA yes because mudslides and earthquakes literally happen every day! And you live in an overpriced, miserable, taxed up the ass landfill of a state.

Are petty insults getting us anywhere?

My point stands -- at what price do people have to pay for these schools to get high rankings? Is it good worth it when other states have lower property taxes and yet good school districts exist?

Oh trust me, at least I know that I wouldn't want to raise my kids in NJ when people are living in denial about teachers cashing out big time:



"I'm cashing out on YOUR property taxes and retiring to Florida after I give your son a D!"

I think the rah-rah mentality of NJ public schools on these boards needs to end.

Say you go to a good school district in Florida, versus NJ? How much $$ would you be saving? Can we have a cost comparison of how much taxpayers PAY for these ranking versus other states?
