Cuomo will push new teacher evaluations, vows to bust school 'monopoly' if re-elected
ALBANY — Vowing to break “one of the only remaining public monopolies,” Gov. Cuomo on Monday said he’ll push for a new round of teacher evaluation standards if re-elected.
Cuomo, during a meeting with the Daily News Editorial Board, said better teachers and competition from charter schools are the best ways to revamp an underachieving and entrenched public education system.
“I believe these kinds of changes are probably the single best thing that I can do as governor that’s going to matter long-term,” he said, “to break what is in essence one of the only remaining public monopolies — and that’s what this is, it’s a public monopoly.”
He said the key is to put “real performance measures with some competition, which is why I like charter schools.”
Cuomo said he will push a plan that includes more incentives — and sanctions — that “make it a more rigorous evaluation system.”

Mr. Cuomo gives Mr. Christie a run for his money for the "being supportive of teachers" award. If you were a teacher in NY, would you vote for him?

His father must be so proud. 
So is he planning to sell off the subway, Metro-North, and Long Island Railroad?
