[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And, who benefits the most? Publishing companies. Follow the money. Indeed- publishing companies have been lobbying hard FOR YEARS for new standards so that they could create new books. They weren't making enough money off the old books anymore. Just look at the donations these companies have given to the governors that supported Common Core. They'll be lobbying for standards in other subjects like science and history soon (or maybe they already are).[/quote] Ok that's crazy. Shouldn't someone be investigating this? Can we get the education reporter from the WaPo on it? If this is really true, that Common Core is just a ruse to make publishers money, well then I'm speechless. Our children's education is not a game.[/quote] Yes, publishers benefit from changes in standards. No, they are not the reason why Common Core was adopted.[/quote]
