But I think it does explain why he blinked on ed policy a bit today and, as Michael noted, this self-delusion of his can certainly be used against him to get this agenda repealed.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-52293575772346099902013-11-18T19:21:25.574-05:002013-11-18T19:21:25.574-05:00Call him, write and let him know.

Last year he was adamant, pointing is finger and saying he was the state's First Lobbyist for students and he would be pushing through his reform agenda. And now today he made it sound like he had nothing to do with it. What a coward. All it took was a Siena poll showing him under water by 12 points and losing to Christie in a potential 2016 match-up in NY State and all those town hall meetings with parents all over the state protesting his policies. Hard to say how much one had to do with the other, but you can bet there is a correlation, even if not a causation.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-46046074015430366842013-11-18T19:03:53.144-05:002013-11-18T19:03:53.144-05:00Look at little Andy run away!... http://www.capita...Look at little Andy run away!... http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/albany/2013/11/8536207/cuomo-sees-legislative-changes-common-coreBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907560266226044066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-50970675856773059372013-11-18T15:46:03.123-05:002013-11-18T15:46:03.123-05:00As a parent of a public school child I can tell yo...As a parent of a public school child I can tell you I won't be voting for Cuomo next year.

He is out there yet, has the bucks to run a political pac against little Andy which could prove interesting at the least. Bet Kooky Carl would like nothing better than to stick it to the Cuomo's and the test common core issue is just the impetus needed to unseat the speak out of both sides of his ass and mouth know it all CuomoI II.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
