Cuomo on Common Core: ‘Evidence of failure is everywhere’

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo concedes that the Common Core education standards are a big government failure and he has a plan to fix the problem … with more big government.

Cuomo’s state was one of the first in the nation to embrace Common Core, even as it remained controversial throughout the nation.

In fact, the New York governor has been one of the education overhaul’s biggest proponents.

Now, his tune has changed.

“The evidence of failure is everywhere,” Cuomo said in a recent video.

Common Core has left New York students, teachers and parents “confused and anxious,” the governor said.

The New York governor announced that he is now pulling together a Common Core task force in order fix the big government education takeover in the state.

According to the governor’s office, the task force has the following objectives:

1. Review and reform the Common Core State Standards;
2. Review New York State’s curriculum guidance and resources;
3. Develop a process to ensure tests fit curricula and standards;
4. Examine the impact of the current moratorium on recording Common Core test scores on student records, and make a recommendation as to whether it should be extended;
5. Examine how the State and local districts can reduce both the quantity and duration of student tests, and develop a plan whereby districts include parents in reviewing local tests being administered to analyze those tests’ purpose and usefulness; and
6. Review the quality of the tests to ensure competence and professionalism from the private company creating and supplying the tests.

How did no one see this coming? Oh, wait …
