Gov. Chris Christie came to Haddonfield on Monday, Sept. 10, 2012 to tout his education-reform agenda.

Gov. Chris Christie came to Haddonfield on Monday for a "conversation with students," and to tout his education reform agenda.

The governor fielded questions from an advanced placement history class before answering questions from the media.

Haddonfield, like Collingswood, is one of 10 towns in the state participating in a pilot program to evaluate teacher effectiveness. Christie signed a bill into law last month to overhaul a century-old standard for teacher tenure in the state.

Haddonfield is NOT representative of our state or country as a whole. And THAT is why we as a country are so far behind other industrialized nations. Haddonfield is a example of what could be, and how we as a country should perform.

Correct, Joseph. Like all politicians, CC does not answer the statement, "Well, Haddonfield is not our country's future. So, how can we make it so?" Hardwork, prioritizing education, and civility are three terms that come to mind.

Sure because Haddonfield is the only place in New Jersey (maybe even the entire country) where you can find hard work, education and civility. Give me a break.
