Washington Post: Cuomo's Reforms Threatens New Teachers

The Washington Post (in an article found here), points out how risky it would be to become a teacher in New York should Gov. Cuomo's reforms pass.  The article points out how Cuomo's proposal would endanger the jobs of new teachers who are working through the standard learning curve of becoming a great professional teacher as well as young teachers looking to obtain tenure in their individual school districts.

For those of you keeping track-- that means the following entities have spoken out against Cuomo's reforms:

  • Special Education teachers
  • Publications considered to have a liberal bias: The Washington Post
  • Publications considered to have a conservative bias: The New York Post
  • Gov. Cuomo's Democrat peers
  • School Union Leaders

As the list of people who oppose Cuomo's ideas grows-- it becomes harder and harder to understand his refusal to make changes or seek feedback from teachers.
