New Jersey’s kids, like all kids, are our future. And in many places, it takes a village to raise those children, complete with teachers’ unions.
Which is why New Jersey teacher Arnold Anderson, who has held a post as an educator for over a decade, can be forgiven for being late for class to squeeze in a little breakfast.
The problem? Anderson was late 111 times in two years, the AP reports:
Wrong, Mr. Anderson! Eating breakfast is a great, eggcelent habit to have. It’s being late for work that’s the bad habit. (Perhaps wake up earlier? Go to bed earlier? See me after class, please.)
Anyways, New Jersey rightly tried to fire Mr. Anderson, but that didn’t work out.
Supposedly, Anderson argued that his stellar teaching skills required less time in the classroom. Yet, his breakfast-making skills and life-work scheduling practices could use some work.
New Jersey Governor and presidential hopeful Chris Christie, a foe of the New Jersey Teachers’ Unions, took to Twitter to mock the decision:
Think I’m too tough on the teachers union? This is what we’re dealing with in NJ . . . https://t.co/kXubGMO669

In the meantime, Anderson is suspended until January. Which leaves him more time to improve his breakfast skills and sleep habits.
