Dear State Board of Education:

The test was poorly designed. The methodology was noticeably flawed.

The entire testing philosophy crumbled like a castle made of sand.

People in other states similarly situated feel the exact same way. There

was little public input. There was no accounting for innovation.

We came to the State Board of Education on January 7, 2015, pleading you

to stop. You refused (or were unable).

Recently, we tried to add our own standard for recess. The UNANIMOUS

will of the Legislature was dismissed by Administration as stupid.

That didnt go over well. The People of The Garden State are not in

Control of the State Board of Education and that is not acceptable.

There is no check on your Power. You do not act with the authority of

The People behind your back. Wed be steering you in a more-productive

direction.

To each of you individually, do we have the benefit of your independent

good judgment?

When you decide to claim actual and personal responsibility, there is an

active and engaged Public that is ready to provide the Political Will to

go in a new direction. We are ready to actually define excellence in

Public Education. Perhaps we could leverage a Statewide team of high

school economics teachers and their classes to build a new economic

model for how a fully-funded and fully-accountable public

infrastructure can be used to drive real organic economic growth.

We have come here to tell you in person. We would like to be more

involved in the decision making. There must be a more efficient way of

communicating the overwhelming Will of The People. We are happy to help

you define a new mission statement for Public Education. Just ask.

Very truly yours,

Justin Escher Alpert
