[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If they are upset about corporations getting involved in public education then where have they been for the last 75 years given corporations have driven textbooks and curricula? They have been there all along. [/quote] Teachers have been complaining about this for years. The standardized tests developed by publishers will be even more dependent on the texts developed by publishers.[/quote] Interestingly, I think something different is going to happen. Now that the standards are exactly the same in MD, MA, NY, NJ, and many other states, there will be a bigger market for teacher designed workbooks, worksheets, units and so on. websites like teacherspayteachers will take off. If I teach in VA and gear my work towards VA SOLs and VA standards, the market is only in VA. But if I gear it towards Common Core - and it is GOOD, and results in kids doing well, I will have a lot more success selling my materials in many more states.[/quote]
