Yeah... this entire conversation is getting weirdly racist.
Point here is... they seem to be acting based on... idk what data. But they are certainly experimenting, and I am not convinced it is in the right direction. Meanwhile we absolutely have functional educational models that could work to achieve every goal set out by this effort and more, but it involves elimination of private schools, making the rich go to the same schools as the poor (and no home-schooling). Because when you make everyone in society tied to the same educational system, everyone wins. But that's the one thing we are 100% unwilling to do under any circumstances.
For the wealthy, sending their kids to private school is easier and cheaper than improving the whole of the educational system. If Musk's kids had to go to the same school as kids with single parents who earn $30k a year and into the same classroom, you better believe Musk would invest enough money and pressure for the entirety of the school curriculum to be switched over to something meaningful and a classroom size of 7, and you better believe those teachers will be paid crazy money because Musk isn't gonna want his kids being taught by the worst teachers money could buy.
You might say "yeah well he can fly his kids to another country..." yeah convenience won't allow it.

- Justsignedup 4y agoThat can't work. Public schools can never move as fast as private schools, and because a billionaire can influence an individual school they can always get better results. You can't get change unless you make people tied to the system. If I can just up and leave I won't really care about making changes that benefit more than just myself. Unfortunately that's the only way to get the rich invested.
