>Texas' STAAR tests are administered in part by Pearson Assessments, a testing company that Holbrook called a "sadistic behemoth."
I have never heard a single good thing about Pearson. Having been assessed by them in Public schools, I think the consensus is well-earned.
My neighbor says they pay pretty well. So there’s that. At least if you’re at the VP level.
Off tangent but once I worked for a Pearson software contractor and they talked of their client with their nose turned up, as if they were the king's favourite in the middle ages. Cringe.
Their textbooks are pretty good. Campbell and Reece is still the bible for biologists around the world.
