But Cuomo's got problems stemming from the Moreland mess, and if we can expands those problems by tying him to King/Core, we may be able to hurt him bad enough in 2014 that 2016 because questionable. Although part of me really does want to see him run for president because I want him to get some serious scrutiny that he so far has avoided.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-60942389483706306812013-10-14T11:23:56.243-04:002013-10-14T11:23:56.243-04:00He is all of those.

It was not a teachers union group but parents that were vocal at this meeting.<br /><br />By blaming "special interests" he could only be referring to parents. In this case it was fortunate that the union was absent. With that target missing it was clear that he was attacking parents.<br /><br /><b>NO CUOMO IN 2014.</b> Where is the progressive challenger? There are 12 months to go. Sure, there will be millions of corporate Gate$ and Pear$on dollars showered on Cuomo. <br />But the people will be on the other side, opposite Cuomo.<br />ICE's blog has a link to a Buffalo News report on a 2 thousand strong protest forum backed by some anti-test madness pols mentioned:<br />http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/education/forum-on-testing-reform-draws-2500-vocal-teachers-parents-and-administrators-20131002GeoKarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463970361326939857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-36476237754232863542013-10-13T14:34:49.710-04:002013-10-13T14:34:49.710-04:00John King is not respected by anyoned because he i...John King is not respected by anyoned because he is intellectually shallow, dishonest and arrogant.

When you become a target of ridicule, derision and scorn there is no coming back. I have been watching the Bad Ass Teachers New York page on Facebook pretty closely and it's clear this guy is now little more than a buffoon and a laughingstock. His situation is terminal and there is nothing for him to do now but step aside. You are a step ahead of a lot of us I think in recognizing that his own team has to be looking at him the same way, the way we as teachers look at a terrible teacher who is flaming out and bringing us down.
