Pearson, a non-American company has abolutely NO BUISNESS dicating, writing curricula and standards and telling OUR students what they should know. Moreover, they have absolutely no business or credibility getting involved in the licensure of teachers in this state. Who are they? Who are they to tell aspiring educators in this state whether (or not) we are qualified to teach? It's absolutely asisine. The tax payers had absolutely NO SAY in the adoption of the Common Core standards and yet Pearson, one of the groups behind all the changes in education, is profiting BIG TIME from it. It's disgusting. Pearson, we want you OUT! Let the teachers decide what they teach! Go make money elsewhere!
