Profit margins might not be as huge as we think. Might be why they were sold by McGraw-Hill Financial. And it does sound like there's a decent amount of work that goes into these digital products.

Ahaha. Just saw this, sorry for delayed response.

There are definitely some McGraw sock puppets in here, but I'm not convinced it's as many as you think -- I created this account to comment after seeing this event posted on Twitter, and I've got to imagine that some others did the same.

You really think some McGraw comms person would want to advertise that the company was recently divested? Seriously? Do you think?

Anyway, agreed that publishers don't generally have our best interests in mind, but your rant is more offputting than productive. Really glad you're so welcoming to new users...

Do you think adaptive stands a decent chance of helping the US gain ground in any of the education areas in which it currently struggles? Or are problems like poverty always going to be the bigger drivers of academic success?
