By the time John King resigned from his position in New York, he had lost the confidence of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
King led a series of school reforms that included a new teacher evaluation system using student standardized test scores that critics say is nonsensical (for example, art teachers are evaluated by student math test scores) and the implementation of the Common Core standards, and aligned Pearson-designed standardized tests. King’s oversight of all of this was considered such a disaster that Cuomo last year wrote in a letter to top state education officials that “Common Core’s implementation in New York has been flawed and mismanaged from the start.” He was terrible in New York, and he will be worse in Washington.
The citizens of this country DO NOT WANT JOHN KING!
