[b]Pearson admits in their own material that people who work for them are authors of the CC standards.  By their own admission:

[quote]Pearson’s Common Core Services are different:
• Experts who helped develop our
services are authors of the Common
Core State Standards.[/quote][/b]

There have been plenty of links on this thread that show the involvement of Pearson (and their subsidiary Achieve) in the CC standard writing process.

Pearson had a huge unfair advantage over any other competitor in developing materials for CC.  Plus the roll out has been so fast that nobody else (private or public) could possibly have time to develop materials.  And the materials are not based on authentic classroom experience (because there has been no time for that kind of feedback either). [/quote]

So in order to advertise their services, they say that they have hired people who wrote the Common Core standards. Well, ok. If I were advertising my services, I'd say the same thing. However, the PP claimed (or I understand the PP to claim) that the people who wrote the Common Core standards were working for Pearson. This does not support that claim.

Also, Achieve is not "a subsidiary" of Pearson, no matter how many times posters on DCUM claim that Achieve is.
