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.
