March and Rally in NYC Against Cuomo Ed Reform - 4 pm Thursday
A coalition of parent and teacher groups will assemble on the NYPL steps ( 42nd and 5th Ave) and march to Status Cuomo's office on E 40th street.
Andrew's re-elect campaign has pocketed over 800,000 dollars from charter school supporters and the gov is giving them more than their money's worth.
Unfortunately... we just had a mayoral election here and the guy who advocated charter limits and restrictions beat the guy who advocated Cuomo's charter policy, 73% to 23%.
Quidpro Cuomo is also abominable on virtually all aspects of public ed. Pretty much mimicking the Rahm Emanuel- Arne Duncan, Chicago style and advocating canned, simplistic non-solutions to complicated problems.
And of course... there's $$$$$$ everywhere.
Truth is... the guy doesn't know what he's doing , lacking any clear, original ideas of his own on this topic, and apparently the ability to formulate same.
So that's tomorrow, 4 pm at the library, 42nd street and Fifth.
BTW, public education impacts *everyone*. Not just parents, kids and teachers.
