[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No, Bill Gates does not own Pearson. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2014/07/12/how-microsoft-will-make-money-from-common-core-despite-what-bill-gates-said/[/quote] What's the point with all of this "waaah, waaah, Pearson, Microsoft, private sector!" hysteria anyways? School districts and states have already demonstrated time and time again that they either a.) don't have the wherewithal to do it on their own or b.) make an even worse mess of things when left to their own devices. This is why they contract things out to the private sector. Otherwise, where is this grand solution that these "rebelling teachers" would be proposing as an alternative? There isn't one - just whining and complaining. That it's Pearson or Microsoft isn't particularly relevant - if it weren't, some other company would be doing it.[/quote]
