Most of these local agreements were favorable to teachers. This is the main reason that 96% of teachers have rated effective or higher. <br /><br />In a perfect world, Iannuzzi, Mulgrew, and Weingarten should have openly and defiantly rejected any use of test scores to evaluate teachers. The political pressure from a popular (at the time) governor may have made this impossible. <br /><br />Karen Magee declared WAR on Cuomo's 2015 education agenda and then she brought a white flag to battleground. Nothing but a bunch of mealy-mouthed crapola came dribbling out of her mouth. Mulgrew even worse.

It became pretty stale to Richard Iannuzzi as Mulgrew's Revive buds blamed the ex-NYSUT President for the system all of them had publicly supported and none of them had lifted a finger to stop.
