I don't like hearing WNYC ostensibly support the idea of all year schooling in order to have two working parents. When it comes to kids getting into trouble, do you not see that part of the problem is parental absentia vs. furthering the children as ward of state? I find that line of thought very unfortunate. When I was in school in Southern California in the 80's there was much more delinquency during school than at home.

And don't get me started on property taxes funding education!!! Our taxes have gone up 30% in the past year, and right now we are in high anxiety mode trying to get our daughter in a good, safe high school here in JC. The best ones are highly competitive, and if she doesn't get in, our option is to pay private school tuition ON TOP of the highest property taxes in the country...

Hennelly doesn't know what he's talking about when he says this race has been nationalized. Christie's popularity is NO WAY tied to national Republicans and the health care debate.
That comment was just silly and ill informed.
Book a real New Jersey reporter on your show when you want someone to speak knowledgeably about the gubernatorial race. Not someone who just happened to watch a debate.
Sheesh.

would these vouchers pay for 100% of a private education? if not I don't see how it would help poor students, in fact won't it hurt them by taking money out of the current system?

Vouchers for private schools are not the answer. Improving public schools and providing public charter schools with the money they rightfully deserve is the answer. Right now, my daughter gets less than HALF of the money she is supposed to get, and would get, had she stayed at her underperforming local school instead of attending one of the states best charter schools (Learning Community Charter School, Jersey City)

Corzine and the Democrat in NJ would never support vouchers because they would risk losing the support of their biggest special interest supporter - the NJEA.

FYI, you don't get a Ph.D in education; you get a doctorate, but it's an Ed.D (Doctor of Education) degree.
