[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Both? Both what? And what about consultants? And who, exactly, is having a conflict of interest, and what does this conflict of interest consist of? [/quote] Simple: many people with monetary connections to Pearson were on the committees. [/quote] What, specifically, did they do that would make them extra money? All textbook companies continually modify, update and revise their content periodically, and continually sell new textbooks to school districts, regardless of what the standard is. That's been going on for decades. What competetive advantage do you think Pearson got out of it that no other company did? If there was one, it sure doesn't show in terms of profits or stock valuations. So, whatever conflict of interest you seem to think there was hasn't manifested itself anywhere.[/quote]
