Save our public schools teachers

For the past few years, there has been a great push by politicians, mostly Republicans but also Democrats, to "reform" the education system. Many people that have never stood in front of a class or even been part of a school system, decided that the problem of our schools are the teachers. In New Jersey, governor Chris Christie have joined hands with others, who don't really have the interest of the students in mind, in an attempt to privatize public schools and destroy teachers and their union, the NJEA. Christie refuses to raise taxes on the rich people of New Jersey, but has no problem of requiring teachers to pay more for their health insurance and pension. He is also attempting to change the evaluation of teachers to include results of test scores and is trying to eliminate tenure. Teachers around the world are usually held in high esteem. It used to be like this in The U.S. and in New Jersey. Today, many experience teachers, administrators and superintendents of schools are retiring, living a big gap in education. Please help change the trend, so the education in the U.S. and especially in New Jersey would not be compromised.
