Statement from Public Advocate Gotbaum on Chancellor Klein's Cell Phone Reward Announcement
Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum said “Chancellor Klein’s cell phone reward announcement today brings more mixed messages from the DOE and yet another gimmick to justify excessive testing and overemphasis on scores. Not to mention, these students will be thrilled with their new cell phones, that is, until they get confiscated at school the next day. It seems lost on the administration that they are rewarding students with something that is unreasonably banned in the first place.”
