Happy Sunday! I enjoyed reading this review of the Union City schools in New Jersey. “The Secret to Fixing Bad Schools.” It’s step by step focus by all–administration, teachers, students, parents–on results, starting in early childhood. It’s not about firing bad teachers or getting charter schools. It’s an amazing story of success. Congratulations to the hard workers in Union City, New Jersey! As someone who grew up in Flemington, New Jersey, this story makes me proud to have grown up in the Garden State!
