Sometimes I feel like they want us to leave. we should all leave, have everyone here be Blue no red at all and see where the state is in 5-10 years. I've got about 5-6 years before I feel like I can leave, need the kids to finish school. Beware! The kids will finish school, fall in love, get married, buy a home in the PRNJ and have kids........YOU ARE STUCK HERE FOREVER!

My other brothers son was in nj stars, they hardly paid for any of the college courses. My son in FL took college classes for free in his senior year hs, almost knocked his first year of college out.

It's NOT the schools, it's the STUDENTS that make the difference. Good students will excel in any school. Crappy students will struggle in any school. The school itself has no bearing, specially in grade school. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you provide a list of state rankings. So my sister in law lives in Fountain Hill PA. She has to send her kid to private school because the public schools are full of gangs. In fact not one cop from the fountian hill police dept sendstheir kid to public school because the schools are terrible. Can you provide any state ranking based on school systems that are not "propaganda lists" as you call them I believe from my research one can find good schools in every state but overall NJ has one of the best public school.systems in the country. Yes it's very slanted towards liberals but it's still good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downtownv 1,779 Posted July 30, 2019 NJ education system has been Dumbing down it's students, for the past 20 years. Ask a recent Grad the capitol of Ks. What years was WWII. What caused the American Revolution and where did it start? Show them a map of the world and ask them to point to France. Metuchen, NJ the "Brainy Borough" was surpassed by JP Stevens 15 years ago, yet those people still think otherwise. The only people boasting about NJ Government schools are the people getting a piece of the Billion$ that washes thru it. Realtors are the best liars in the Government education that the NJEA has.

It's a risk, but not a certainty. My wife, before I'd even met her, had been telling her girls to go to college outside of NJ, and never move back. A tough thing for her to say (she's a NJ native), and the 2nd amendment wasn't even on her radar. Her reasons were high taxes, low quality of life, overcrowding, and govt corruption. I'm an unhappy transplant to NJ, and I'd been independently coaching my son in the same way. Now two of the kids have finished college and settled in other states, and I'd suspect the chances are good that the youngest will do the same once she is out of college. And my wife and I are moving to a western state in 4 years, at retirement. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife's friend is a special education director and stated those are the rankings they look at. I believe they are based on academic factors and don't give bonus points for demographics & income status like other school rating sites such as "Great Schools". The other factor is the elementary school for where you live. Elizabeth H.S. is highly ranked, but Number 1, George Washington Elementary School has a 1 out of 10 rating from G.S.

This meant dumbing down the suburban schools not lifting up the urban schools. NJ being of such Liberal mind set, stepped right in line.

Mrs. Peel 7,157 Posted July 30, 2019 I'm going to run the risk of sounding like Miss Bossy Britches (eh, so what's new, right? LOL)… but I'd like to say that each time I see one of these "leaving NJ" threads, I wonder: Just how much do the gun owners that leave NJ really appreciate their newfound freedoms? More to the point: how hard will they fight to keep them? Will they attend a rallies in their new home state? Join local 2A org(s)? Donate time/money to 2A causes? Write letters to the editor? Call local politicians? Participate in election activities (canvassing, etc.)? A lot of NJ folks have grown apathetic due to the daunting "numbers" in NJ. But, I think it's critically important for everyone who leaves - particularly if they have been apathetic - to not allow that apathy to follow them to the next location. Every gun owner who leaves this state is a potential 2A Ambassador with a unique first-hand knowledge of just how overbearing, tyrannical and freedom-stripping a state government can actually get! You should make it your mission to spread that warning to anyone who'll listen! I hope you'll not ONLY vote, but that you'll either be active in local politics, or be active with local 2A groups - or both - and that you'll get engaged as soon as you move - if not ahead of time! Do NOT get a sense of false security. It would be too easy to get distracted with your shiny new toys - your bigger mags, maybe a new silencer or two... but that would be incredibly short-sighted. This country is undergoing cultural upheaval right now. Make no mistake, there is a mighty wave building of people who are well-organized, well-funded, but also fundamentally ignorant of history, and not afraid to push out misleading statistics... and they are working very diligently to dismiss and disparage the inherent brilliance of the Bill of Rights... and to strip away them away from ALL of us. You should fight EVEN HARDER when you get to your new state IMO. I sincerely hope you give that some thought! (Oh, and of course, you should be fighting while you're still here, too! Do I even need to say that?) Anyway, not trying to hijack the thread... it's just something I really hope you all consider carefully if you've moved recently or are in the planning phase! I hear so much on here from the escapees about - "ooo, I love it here... I bought this new toy!... or I joined this great range". What I don't see is a lot of people reporting on what they're doing to KEEP their new state as free as possible. That worries me!
