Andy Cuomo must be a golfer. "Go to school on" = "learn something from" is a
common and old golfing term (well, I can attest to 60 years or so of use, if
that counts as old).

'To learn from':

Andy Cuomo to NYC public health official:

"So did you go to school on what happened in Dallas?"

It's been around for at least a year or so.
