But wait! It appears that the writers of the grant proposals neglected to stuff a quorum of educational jargon into their text:
We must really be out of the loop.". . .The Hechinger Report, a New York-based education news organization, reported that winning applications hit on key education buzzwords more frequently than losers did.
"The words mentioned more often were professional development, data-driven, charter, evaluation, rigor or standards, assessment, accountability and online or e-learning.
"[Deputy Superintendent ]Poda said the department didn't make a concerted effort to include particular words in its application.
I wonder why Jim Rex wasn't the spokesman for this report. Not.

Janice Poda is an idiot. She has been entrenched in the state bureaucracy for as long as this mess has been going on. SHE is part of the problem. Just as the State Education Director of New Jersey was fired for his "400 million dollar mistake" (NY Times), so should Ms. Poda. Enough is enough.
