This is true of any product produced by a for-profit company. It was also true of the educational materials companies before the Common Core standards, and it would remain true if the Common Core standards disappeared tomorrow.   [/quote]

[b]True--but school systems are under great pressure to switch over to CC as quickly as possible.  If a publishing company can claim it meets the standards the systems will jump on it.[/b]

THAT is true.  A great deal of the problems people associate with Common Core have been caused by the rush to purchase new materials without completely vetting them.   I place the blame for this on the  school district officials who purchased these materials without really looking at what they were buying.   Sadly, the best and the brightest don't always end up in school administration.
