Pearson Education has harmed tens of millions of school kids and their rigid systematic one size fits all test centered education policies that they’ve lobbied into law has caused dysfunctional classrooms and destroyed entire schools and they do have blood on their hands for problems like bullying and teen suicide. Counselors have become test coordinators instead of providers of guidance because of them. Curriculum is not properly differentiated because of them. Disabled youth are not handled in a commonsensical manner because of them. They have systematically replaced the human element with capitalistic concerns in school. I’m not saying that this has happened everywhere to everyone in America’s public schools but it has indeed happened in a lot of places. And I don’t give a **** what anybody says or what their excuses are. It ****ing is like that.
