Reader feedback is an important part of building StateImpact Florida’s education coverage. Feedback Loop will be a regular feature highlighting your questions, criticisms and comments.<\/p>\n

Here’s what you said about our reporting this week.<\/p>\n

Reader Catherine saw our blog post<\/a> about testing giant Pearson’s tendrils throughout the growing education business. Catherine questioned<\/a> the relationship:<\/p>\n

Makes you want to encourage all your students to go into education!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
