Ridgewood school adopts new homework policy

A new rule is on the books for all math classes at Benjamin Franklin (BF) Middle School, geared toward relieving students’ stress and promoting well being.
Benjamin Franklin Middle School recently adopted a new math homework policy that has become popular among parents, students and teachers.
The policy: If a student doesn’t finish homework within an allotted time set by the teacher, a parent or guardian can sign the paper where they left off, and the student receives full credit.
Implemented a month ago, Principal Tony Orsini said the new policy has so far been popular with parents, students and even teachers – who have said it has helped their students focus, and given teachers the information they need to better tailor their homework and their lessons to students who just aren’t grasping the concepts of quadratic equations or other subjects.

>BOE Elections: the Handicapping Continues
The light and turf debacle are a distant memory now….people have short memories.
It’s not easy to predict how this election will pan out but let’s take a look…
Sheila – her base is reliable and they will remember to vote. 1600 votes.
Laurie – similar to Sheila, she has a faithful group of followers…I say 1500 votes.
Chris – the wildcard…it’s not a secret that she is the overwhelming recommendation of the CRR (anti-Valley crowd). That’s worth 600-700 votes alone. This is hard to forecast but I think she earns 1200 total votes. That’s not a bad number for a first-timer with limited name recognition (so far).
All bets are off however if folks get strategic and only vote for one person…i.e. Selective Voting. That scenario will keep Ms Krauss close to the leaders.

>BOE needs to become more fiducially responsible
>BOE needs to become more fiducially responsible
Look into the increased number of students that are tutored over the years. Ask parents why they are having their students tutored. Ask the tutors that are advertised as supported by the HSA what they are tutoring the students. The answers are close at hand. You just have to open your eyes and face the realities and then have the guts to require that the BOE become more fiducially responsible.
Every one of the 25,000 citizens in VOR have been faced with that same responsibility for their own families. Everyone suffers increased healthcare costs, etc.
Everyone suffers possible loss of job if they don’t preform. There are no guarantees. This is not a dress rehearsal folks. This is the real thing

>Ryan: Debt on Track to Hit 800 Percent of GDP; ‘CBO Can’t Conceive of Any Way’ Economy Can Continue Past 2037
Wednesday, April 06, 2011
By Nicholas Ballasy
(CNSNews.com) – House Budget Chairman Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said President Barack Obama’s budget strategy is to “do nothing, punt, duck, kick the can down the road” while the debt remains on track to eventually hit 800 percent of GDP. Ryan added that the CBO is saying it “can’t conceive of any way” that the economy can continue past 2037 given its current trajectory.
Ryan also said that the House Republicans’ FY2012 budget, which he unveiled yesterday, would save Medicare and help the United States avoid a debt crisis.

Christie Tells Diane Sawyer He Won’t Run for President in 2012, But Will His Friend Donald Trump?
BY BRADLEY BLACKBURN
April 6, 2011
New Jersey’s Gov. Chris Christie took another shot at his state’s teachers today by describing their union leaders as “political thugs.”
In an interview with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, Christie offered no apology for his often tough talk that has left some teachers feeling bruised. He also talked about the presidential possibilities of both himself and his “friend” Donald Trump, and criticism by Jersey rock icon Bruce Springsteen.
While sitting in the school library at Lincoln School in Kearney, N.J., Christie told Sawyer that it’s essential for his state’s education system to change and he blames the teachers union for the harsh cuts his administration is making, that includes layoffs and larger classrooms.
“I believe the teachers in New Jersey in the main are wonderful public servants that care deeply. But their union, their union are a group of political thugs,” Christie said.

>Readers are looking for roll back on automatic pay increases for Teachers
>Readers are looking for roll back on automatic pay increases for Teachers
All I know is that this contract had better roll back some of the automatic pay increases that were granted while every other resident saw reduced income in the past 3 years. Pay increases should have nothing to do with seniority and everything to do with performance. Pay our best teachers more and reduce pay for our under-performing teachers. Eliminate tenure and let’s get back to a truly high performing school district, instead of paying lip service to ideals from days gone by.
It is not acceptable to ask taxpayers for a tax increase in order to pay for budget to pay for endless annual pay raises for all teachers. Nor do I see any reason for the budget to increase over previous years. Let’s start taking cost out of the school budget, by addressing the real driver of 80% of the costs in the budget
