Ah yes, because *suddenly* Pearson can sell textbooks and materials and make money doing that.

Except, Pearson was already making textbooks and materials long prior to Common Core.

And, all the non-Pearson companies making money selling textbooks and materials long before Common Core and after too.

And if you get rid of Common Core Pearson will make more money selling new textbooks for whatever comes after Common Core.

So if you have some notion that getting rid of Common Core will somehow change anything about that, you are stupefyingly naive. [/quote]

Let's go with another analogy.  Say, you like to wear leather belts everyday.  You buy leather belts from time to time, and rotate by color, etc. so that you don't wear them all out at once.  But, all of a sudden you gain lots and lots of weight. So, you still want to wear leather belts--but, guess what.  None of your old ones fit.  So, you have to go buy lots of new ones all at once.  You want to buy one in every color because you also had to buy all new skirts and pants--after all, you are clothing a much larger body.  And, you spend lots and lots of money on your new clothes and belts and Lane Bryant is your new go to shop.  Oh, yes, please don't forget the underwear to fit  and everything else.

Failed analogy because you were already going to have to buy clothes ANYHOW regardless of your weight.[/quote]
