People oppose the Common Core by 15% but trust the very people who imposed it haplessly on their children the last three years--NYSED and the Regents--by 61% to Cuomo's 18% to set education policy. <br /><br />It's interesting that Siena didn't include "local Board of Education" as a choice because I would bet that folks might have picked that one if they'd had the chance. It's very hard for me to imagine that "John Doe" has a clear understanding for what the Regents and NYSED do, though the last year's ruckus over Common Core may have been a magnificent opportunity for a lot of parents to learn a lot more about how education policy actually is made in the state.Harris L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-31149433677619886002015-01-21T11:40:10.775-05:002015-01-21T11:40:10.775-05:00Cuomo doesn't worry about the Sienna polls esp...Cuomo doesn't worry about the Sienna polls especially since he has 100% of the hedge funds backers in his right pocket, and 100% of the charter school proponents in his left pocket. Any other poll is meaningless to him.
