From the article: "In a new paper, "What Doesn't Work In Education: The Politics Of Distraction," published by Pearson Education"
So the NPR piece is based on a publication from Pearson, who has a huge financial stake in the US education market.

How curious.
- rayiner 11y agoAkamai has a huge financial stake in the Internet, so do you ignore their "State of the Internet" reports? By virtue of Pearson's business they also have huge systematic insight into the education system. Not worth dismissing the results of the study simply based on that association.

If the publication is based on data and the method is open, the source doesn't really matter. I'm going to assume they have an agenda and keep an eye out for it, but Pearson is not inherently anti-education.
