Another question Cuomo needs to explain is why he would turn over the development of regulations regarding teacher evaluations to an education department that had not done a good job in implementing his beloved Common Core Standards. You cannot make this nonsense up--NY State public education has been turned into one huge fiasco by the deformers. Every time they open their mouth they spout more complete non-sense then go off and hide until after another legislator is indicted (taking the pressure off them to explain their nonsense). Usually, they only need to wait a week, or two before they can stick their head out again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-7583528216233140332015-04-26T11:57:35.061-04:002015-04-26T11:57:35.061-04:00In one brief flash of pure stupidity, Governor Cuo...In one brief flash of pure stupidity, Governor Cuomo has opened up the floodgates of future litigation. There is no way to walk this gaff back. he needs to be pummeled incessantly with his own words. And we should demand that he explain how "meaningless practice tests" can be used to fairly evaluate teachers and schools, now that student motivation have been completely undermined by his own words.NY Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292448959963091160noreply@blogger.com
