Cuomo to Join with Common Cores Bill Gates Foundation to Reimagine Education
... Cuomo said New York will work with the Gates Foundation the primary private financier and promoter of the Obama-era Common Core State Standards because the old model of our education system where everyone sits in a classroom is not going to work in the new normal....
... Without any taxpayer oversight, Gates and his foundation spearheaded the most recent progressive initiative known as the Common Core State Standards, by spending upwards of $250 million in grants to test consortia, nonprofits, teachers unions, and political groups eager to cash in on the new scheme. ...
Nearly a decade after states adopted Common Core, the empirical evidence makes it clear that these national standards have yielded underwhelming results for students, said Pioneer executive director Jim Stergios in a statement. The proponents of this expensive, legally questionable policy initiative have much to answer for.
