Governor Christie to Test Teachers in Reading and Math

If you can't read, write, or do basic math, you sure can't teach it. That is the logic behind Governor Chris Christie's reform package that will require teachers in kindergarten through fifth grade pass tests in reading and math in order to be certified.

Everyone but the teachers' unions and incompetent teachers should be happy with Sweeping N.J. Education Reform http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/09/28/ ... on-reform/

Christie is turning his take-no-prisoner’s style to the classroom, demanding a top to bottom overhaul of how New Jersey students learn and teachers teach. And that means undoing tenure, seniority and other union work rules.

“We cannot wait. Your children are sitting in these classrooms today. We cannot wait to make it better,â€

yes test them on reading. math. write . & History & if your going to be a teacher you have to know a lot more your self some kids I know don't know Math & can not read or write & the Teacher are going big bucks for a job they don't do so if they don't do the job get them the hell out .
