So Montclair is a wealthy town? I thought it more middle class. I guess the well off people send their kids to private schools like NYC does. Has there been a lot of gentrifications?
I can only hope these stories are exaggerated. Students should not have to go through this stuff like the teacher sexually mollesting students.
However, as someone who went to public school in NJ, I foresaw the degradation of public education into something bad. I went to what is normally a good school system, but even at this place there was much awry.
I think the high taxes turn the wealthy into middle class

The quality of schools in NJ have fallen off a cliff and the classrooms have turned into indoctrination camps rather than a place for an education. Its a shame, NJ was ranked #1 for many years and now places like Florida look more suitable.
Beautiful Victorian homes, leafy tree lined streets, an enclave of wealthy were everyone is welcomed and gets along of all races and creeds including LGBT.
That's the story they give out; scratch beneath the surface and you'll hear another story.
What you've often got is tons of limousine liberals and progressive democrats who paid huge sums for their homes and are raked over coals in taxes trying desperately to make things work. Otherwise how can they justify positions taken and or otherwise continuing to promote beautiful Montclair as that wonderful slice of liberal heaven.
More to point too many cracks in that façade might cause property values to decline. So people keep on drinking the Kool-Aid even if they have to choke it down.
I don’t know man. The handful of people I know who live in Montclair seem to genuinely like it there.
I read the whole article and believe every word of it. It is all too familiar to me. The more I see, hear and read about NJ these days, the more I am happy I no longer live there, and am raising my family elsewhere.
I didn’t read the whole article and I don’t know much about Montclair outside of it being a pretty happening suburb, I’ve always kind of held this belief of the elite suburban towns. They’re painted like an oasis by realtors but they often have way more issues than some lesser regarded towns.
You know it. I know this from first hand experience.
