Again, the point is no one is going to experiment if you can't wind it down.
I don't know if it's a failure but I know the 300m zuck spent in Newark schools was a huge failure and waste of money and very well documented. If it was a success they would be making a big show and not shutting it down
- UncleMeat 1y agoRight. And I mentioned that in my post. I'm glad that Zuck is doing this but he is not obligated to do so, which is one of the perils of this sort of program funded by billionaires.
- woleium 1y ago… or any other funding entity?
- em-bee 1y agolike the government? they better not be shutting down failing schools, leaving the kids in the lurch. but instead they should research why the schools are failing and figure out how to fix the problem. a private entity may not have such an obligation, but we as a society sure do.
- woleium 1y agoi believe many countries went through a period of consolidation where many smaller (failing) schools were closed as the population became more mobile with cars.
- UncleMeat 1y agoWith the government we have a degree of democratic control over decision-making. We also have laws that limit the degree with which the government can make capricious decisions. Zuck has no such limitations.
