New Jersey Governor: New curriculum standards in schools needed
Fresh off visiting a Cherry Hill, New Jersey elementary school today, Governor Chris Christie said he’s tired of seeing schools handing out what he calls “fake diplomas.”
According to WPVI-TV, Christie said new curriculum standards being implemented in schools across New Jersey are needed to prepare students for college and future careers.
Christie, along with acting Education Commissioner Chris Cerf, visited a Cherry Hill elementary school to speak with first-graders earlier today.
On Monday, the Governor sat down with school superintendents for an education discussion to find ways to update how schools measure success, according to WPVI-TV.
