Shouting down a critic.
Brilliant. Educational. Christie.

Lucky he’s not a teacher. I’d envision Chancellor’s Reg. A-421 staring him right in the face. When you’re a role model, it kind of behooves you not to behave like a 12-year-old.

Didn’t see the video, but I’d give Christie a break if he was accosted while with his kids. If only it were an isolated incident. He had recently lost it with a reporter.
And Mike? No cooler for all that AC rigging. Snapped over the pool fighting question. Though that’s par for him.
Not such stately manners so far from stately Wayne Manor, eh Gotham?

You guys keep going back to the well ……… Eric Nadelstern????? Really?????
The creator, original creator of this MESS we call “Campus Models” – the one who destroyed communities and tried to start something called “Networks”. That Eric Nadelstern is commenting on educational issues???? Are you guys serious???? He’s the laughing stock of the entire educational system, by his “friends” and people who see his decisions from a decade ago EXPLODING. It FAILED Eric, your ideas FAILED. Don’t comment on anything else such as credit recovery, etc ………. you have no right. You were surpassed and overlooked for a Chancellor position or 2nd in command for a reason.
Keep your mouth shut. Let Marc Sternberg do the talking, he’s way funnier and more stupid than you, which is tough. I gave out so many “credit recovery” grades to kids who I didn’t even know, just so they could graduate. It’s a scam you dunce!!!!!!!
