This shouldn't be a surprise to the Follett objective towards mainstream middle school. Investigate further on your own and make your own decisions, if you can read therefore you can hopefully comprehend. I myself see it as Follett grabbing for government dollars, just another parasite. Our students and teachers don't need more HR tests, we need teachers (people)and organizations who care about students not just more testing for profit. How many movies have already shown the heroes of those who go in and help show how to uplift a person. They need education AND SOMEBODY who cares not about their test scores but about their potential.

ShowEvidence founded in 2011 and only acknowledges Follett having invested in the company. Not a new concept and most teaching applications have tests available within the classes the offer such pearsoned and ecollege. I wish them all the luck.
