It’s his money, and he can throw it away however he wants. When all the seminars and conferences are over, kids can get back to not learning with their regular teachers instead of substitutes. Spread the good feelings.
You’d think this “progressive” rich guy and his wife would have learned. If you dump money down “black holes”, it will disappear. Hey, Zuck...send some my way. I know how to blow it.
They are liberals and liberals don’t learn, but they expect others to make the same mistakes as they do
It didn’t in Newark apparently but stupid doesn’t usually learn fast.
Libs have this illusion that the superstructure is more important than the student and his or her family. In a western country if the student and his or her family are interested in learning, they will learn. If not, all the money in the world thrown at them won’t do a bit of good.
Buying influence is what this is.
As the posted article notes, Zuckerberg “teamed up” with no less than Chris Christie and Cory Booker, perhaps the two greatest egos and master of self-promotion in the land, to clean up and “fix” the public school system in little old Newark (I read that the city only has 250K residents, which surprised me).
They got their fat arses handed to them by union bosses, administrators and 60-year-old secretaries.
At this point Zuckerberg knows better than to care about the ruination of American schools. He, like his hero Obama, only cares about looking like he cares.
Didn’t he try the same thing in Newark (100 million)without much result? Of course, the New Jersey folks were probably more experienced and involved in siphoning off funds for themselves and cronies.
$1000 per day is not unrealistic for a consultant, but there needs to be results.
It is likely that Zuckerberg has succumbed to the same brand of hubris that has made fools of the Gates's and Windbag Buffett as well. Their overweening self-adoration has convinced them that their vaunted millions and billions will make more difference in the world's condition than fleas in a windstorm.
