Read it and weep....Pearson Wants You!


The following ad is from Austin, TX. Craig's List. Read it and think about it deeply. Those hired will be tasked with grading my students' and, if you're a parent, your children's essays. Who will these people be? People interested in improving the quality of education and interested in students, or people just looking for some part time work making $12 an hour? Can we know? Does Pearson care? It's happening in April, so it won't be teachers.... though maybe some teachers whose pensions were taken away or those who lost their jobs due to testing can apply. What does this say about Pearson and what the driving force is behind their testing mania?  What does it say about their concept of what constitutes a good education? Let the answers to those and other questions slowly sink in, then resolve to become involved in the movement to stop the madness.
