Obama paid (incentivized? bribed?) school systems millions to adopt Common Core through its “Race to the Top” program. Once Common Core was adopted, all materials had to be bought through Pearson. It would be interesting to see which politically involved people are making money off of Pearson.

Also interesting to see who is making the money off of the flood of technology into the schools. At the rural school I taught at/subbed at it seems like new computers show up every year. Close to one per student. No business replaces computers like schools do. The money apparently comes from ‘grants’.

Yet, with all the cool toys, the results keep getting worse.
