New York State United Teachers President Karen Magee talks with reporters in a hallway at the Capitol on Thursday, June 19, 2014, in Albany, N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo says teachers shouldn't lose their jobs simply because their students performed poorly on the state's new Common Core tests, at least for a few years. Cuomo proposed legislation Thursday that would change how test scores are used in evaluations to prevent teachers deemed "ineffective" or "developing" from facing termination or a denial of tenure based solely on student test scores. Magee says Cuomo's proposal is a "reset button" that ensures teachers won't be unfairly judged based on the controversial new standards. (AP Photo/Mike Groll)
