Implementation of the Common Core in New York has been deeply flawed. I was profoundly disappointed that community meetings to discuss this issue were cancelled simply because state officials faced criticism. The quality of our children’s education is essential to their success in a global economy. Parents and teachers deserve to be heard on this issue.
Commissioner King should hold at least one public meeting on Eastern Long Island. Here he will receive an excellent education in the difficult issues facing Eastern Long Island parents and teachers. It's time to begin a comprehensive reform of how the Common Core is implemented in New York.
In the Assembly, I will be an unwavering advocate for our children's education and a strong voice for the dedicated parents seeking to provide their children with the skills to succeed in a global economy.
