5,444 New Jersey teachers have filed applications to retire so far this month, already more than double the amount of applications filed in July 2009, according to a report, bringing the total for the year to 6,840 applications. The total retirement applications in 2009 was 3,671, the report said. The spike in teacher retirements comes amid a budget battle waged by Gov.

Interesting on how TLS uses as a picture an angry mob to represent teachers. Why not a gray haired 60 year old who has spent her life teaching her student? Could it be TLS wants to elicit a certain response?
