[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You (or somebody) keep saying that. But as a statement just out there, all by itself, it's about as meaningful as "Martin Luther King Jr. was a subspecies of avocado." [/quote] Dept of Ed is tying money to requirement for teacher evaluation being tied to testing of standards. Pearson just got huge contract. Duncan has relationship with Pearson. What else do you want?[/quote] No, I still don't get it. Are you saying that Arne Duncan, the U.S Secretary of Education, steered a contract to Pearson? That's a serious allegation. Or are you saying that he decided that states that want federal grant money to help implement curricula aligned to the Common Core standards should have to include test results as a component of their teacher evaluation systems, in order to make his buddies at Pearson happy? That doesn't even make any sense. The states have to use the tests regardless, because of NCLB.[/quote]
