"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the primary backer for the inBloom educational grading and service (which also acts as a platform for third-party applications), is catching flak for its role in encouraging the outsourcing of US Education. The article (cited by RMS today) argues that though the Common Core is a scary new concept that takes power away from state and local school governance, the real danger is allowing corporate enterprises to have so much control over our classrooms. The Washington Post also reports a case where Pearson included corporate logos and promotional materials inside its test booklets."

I got an on-topic first post yesterday. I was pretty happy about it.

Obviously you do not intend to continue that trend, as this is neither first nor relevant.

No, I didn't even mean to get the one I got. Also, eat a bag of dicks, this comment was indeed relevant to what I replied to.
