[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hmmm. Interesting. Money greasing the rails everywhere. [/quote] I was stunned (as a young teacher) when I went to a convention of teachers. The book salesmen were out in force. One of my colleagues was on the state text selection committee. She got us all a very nice free dinner. She knew it was against the rules and told us (at the end of the evening) not to tell anyone. It was not against the rules for those of us who were not on the committee--but it was against the rules for her. Of course, had she not been with us, we would not have been treated to dinner. Today, I would have understood more clearly what was going on. I did not understand so much then--at least, not until later in the evening. It really bothered me when I did find out and I have looked on selection committees with different eyes since then. I would love to know how much these committee members (the standard developers) were paid. I'd also love to know who paid them.[/quote]
