Really the main complaint I see against PEARSON is about the enormous ammount of money being paid to them for all this testing, scoring, etc. They just do what their client (the state) tells them to do. The State of Florida and the individual school districts are the ones mainly responsible for all these testing woes. I know for example DCPS put all the responsibility and blame on the teachers. As a result morale is at an all time low. PEARSON of course lobbies for all of this testing to continue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-27242580181590547492012-06-15T11:39:33.699-06:002012-06-15T11:39:33.699-06:00Someone at PEARSON must have a friend at the TU.

Go to the Orlando Sentinal and search "PEARSON".There are quite a few recent articles about PEARSON or they reference them as it relates to the FCAT discussion. Most of the articles are not complimentary. One of the articles (either in the Orlando paper or Miami Herald) misspoke and said PEARSON administers the FCAT which is not true; but unless I missed something I never see PEARSON mentioned in the TIMES UNION.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
