[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is in charge of buying these programs?  [b]Are they being given gifts and entertainment by these companies to sway their decisions?  [/b]Amplify, CommonLit, and the list goes on and on.

The common thread with all these programs is to make it "easier" for the teachers to create a curriculum and provides them with out of the box classwork, homework and related materials.But this is not the answer- we need interesting and rigorous curriculum that ensures students are reading, understanding the material, intertwines projects and classwork and homework that solidifies that knowledge, and gets the kids engaged in the subject matter.

I keep hearing parents say things like: "I had to read so much more when I was in school" or "I had so much more homework" or "My teachers expected so much more".  This is coming from parents who grew up in different states around the country.  It is clear that our education standards have been lowered because we keep making the curriculum easier on the kids and the teachers.[/quote]

You have to wonder. It's hard to understand otherwise.[/quote]
