    >In the beginning Botsford is talking about the document as making her feel whole again. Whole math? Whole as a woman? What? I don’t get it.

    >Well, I slugged down the coffee and relistened to the video. Unlike what Botsford said, I do not feel “more whole” after listening to her spiel. In fact, I’m left with quite an empty feeling.

    If this is such a great program than ALL children in our six elementary schools should be subjected to TERC. To do otherwise means that there is a whole lotta discriminating going on.

    The board gives her whatever she wants just to stop her from talking. I’d be banging my head against the chalkboard.

    >The top video featuring Ridgewood resident Joan O’Keefe is much more powerful than the bottom video featuring our head of curriculum Regina Botsford. Ms. O’Keefe is also a much better public speaker and comes across as a professional who knows what she’s talking about. Sorry, Regina but in the battle of the videos you lose.

    >Indeed … Ms OKeefe based her statements on facts, having actually contacted the author of the document, while Ms Botsford based her statements on her ideology, preaching to an audience to follow her on faith

    >Sheila Brogan seemed to be hanging on to Ms. Botsford’s every word. Grow a brain Sheila.

    >Thank you Joan O’Keefe for going before the board of education to stand up for your child. You truly value education because you are out there doing something about it and not just sitting home grumbling about it. We need more parents like you and the math moms.

    >I watched both videos. Ms. Botsford’s dog-and-pony show to the board is what is known as THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND!

    >Regina is a dyed in the wool feminist as is her underling “Dr.” Ives both of whom have been raised on the steady diet of crap, peddled as education, by that bastion of higher learning, Montclair State.

    Her little presentation was educrat speak at its best. That being said, it was pure gibberish.

    Too bad we pay her.

    >If you really want to get upset — read the Common Ground document and see just how “conveniently” Miss Botsford read from it …
