I believe Jeb Bush is rumored to have money invested in Pearson, hence why he is pushing for common core. Common core will do more to hurt students who are forced to learn under it than those who attend private schools that use traditional teaching methods. Those with the resources to escape the public school will be far better off from what I can gather.

Seems like another elitist scheme to profit off of legislating things to the masses to me. I could be wrong. I've had elementary educators try to explain this to me but it seems the ones that are liberal think it's the best thing since sliced bread, and the conservative educators hate it.
