>NJEA says Christie’s argument that teachers ‘only work 180 days’ is inaccurate
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is of the opinion that teachers don’t work hard for the money, but the New Jersey Education Association argues the facts say otherwise.
The governor claimed in a forum at the University of Notre Dame on Nov. 18 that teachers only work 180 days — or just half the year — and make around $60,000.
Well, the NJEA would give Christie a big fat F for failing to prove his statement.
“It’s a bit like saying that the governor is only working on days when he signs bills,” NJEA spokesman Steve Baker said. “In other words, wrong, and intentionally misleading.” (Greene, New Jersey Newsroom)
