Don't know if Cerf was with them then, but Edison had many scandals and I believe was booted out of town they were so bad.m Money scandals, sex scandals with principals, etc. etc. Cerf SHOULD be slandered with the Edison brush if at all possible...what a sleazy loser...Shocked that Christie would hire him at all...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-12783558652705399242011-03-14T20:51:57.105-04:002011-03-14T20:51:57.105-04:00It's incredible that stories like these are br...It's incredible that stories like these are broken on this blog while the MSM dozes in the background, reporting whatever nonsense Bill Gates feeds Arne Duncan.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-87610125518779913862011-03-14T19:58:20.129-04:002011-03-14T19:58:20.129-04:00Congrats, Leonie.

Thank you.<br /><br />I just want to mention Cerf's tight connection to the Broad Foundation, that phony philanthropy run by the ultra-manipulative billionaire Eli Broad, one of the main drivers of corporate ed reform.<br /><br />Although you can be certain that the BF has been quite active behind the scenes, it publicly reappears in the Cerf story as the entity which gave $500K to Booker who then transferred the money to the consulting company Cerf had formed by hiring it to do an “assessment.” <br /><br />Naturally, the company recommended public schools to be closed and charter schools to be opened, as this the Broad Foundation’s urban school district “transformation” vision.The Perimeter Primatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619173438763495716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-78070962559559938032011-03-14T10:49:19.368-04:002011-03-14T10:49:19.368-04:00Warning to our friends in NJ: Do not support anyon...Warning to our friends in NJ: Do not support anyone who believes in higher clas size, merit pay based on test scores,charter school expansion inside already crowded public schools,teacher bashing,union destruction,and test prep as the most important subject taught in our schools today.
