#TWOTERMS BY DEFAULT

The results are for the least anticipating election so far. Andrew Cuomo governor again. Many people aren't aware of whats going on in our society causing our old governor is our new governor again. People relay in social media to control their every move and I guess #governorelection isn't  trending on twitter. This lack of awareness people have on politics effects us as a nation because if people aren't fully education on who they are going to vote for and their platform voter could be voting for a corrupt person that doesn't want what they want. Many people were unsure of the who the candidates of the 2014-2015 governor election and only voted for Andrew Cuomo just because  his name is familiar. New Yorkers have always had a nasty taste in their mouth about this governor and leaves me confused on why he still governor.Public school teachers are oppose of the governor because he supports Common Core. Andrew Cuomo says that he don not  support the Common Core Standard and that is the board of regents but if that is the case she should talk to his employes and come up with a compromise to get rid of it. Governor Cuomo should stand up for New York and stand up for the upcoming generation.

Election Results

And our New York Governor of 2015 is ....ANDREW CUOMO!!!!! This will be his second term as New York's Governor and New Yorkers are having mixed feelings about these results. Public school teachers are oppose of this because of what everyone is debating about is Common Core. Andrew Cuomo says how he supports the Common Core Standard. Well first off common core objective is having clear and steady goals in which it is suppose to help a student's learning abilities in their college, career and life. The real issue is instead of making a students learning easier, the poor kids are forced into working long on problems that would only take less than an hour. A second grader was crying and frustrated about her Common Core homework. At that age no child should be upset about homework. High Schoolers are already frustrated over trigonometric equations, proofs, and even statistics but when a little 2nd grader crying and having anxiety over whats 2+2 , then that should be a wake up call. That's crazy to begin with imagine going to your doctor and telling them that well I have anxiety and it's from my worst enemy, Common Core. If Andrew Cuomo wants New Yorkers to be on his side, his first order of business to cancel Common Core. It's easy as that of not then we might as well pack our things and get out of New York because no child deserves to suffer.
