Zuckerberg gave New Jersey $100MM to fix Newark's schools, and it looks like it was a was a waste

[Mowgli]

Give money to criminals to do good things bruhs

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Of all states to donate to for a cause like this he chose the most corrupt state in the union?

All he would of had to do is take a stroll through AC to get a good picture of how NYs armpit spends money...

Christy and his mob union buddies ate good off this hipster fool...

 

[Master Teacher]

So we shouldnt invest anymore resources into it until the -structural- issues are resolved?

The money was never invested

100 million is more than enough money to do anything

the reality is, States have enough money for education, the money never goes to where is suppose to and nobody is ever held accountable

If Zuckerberg really wanted to help he would just built the schools himself

 

[Crude Abolitionist]

Didn't read that whole thing yet but Newark

And you can't give anybody any money and expect them to keep your interests a priority. You need to build that school yourself like The Gates' (if I'm not mistaken). Consultants and teacher evaluation

edit: after seeing the entire turn of events, Zuckerberg really didn't do so bad outside of not knowing where his money was going. This situation is sad.

fukk Zuckerberg. He tried but, should of known better.
You don't give them money you just build it yourself, most folks in politics cannot be trusted with anything.

cuckerberg

The annual Newark school budget to educate 35,000 kids is about $840 million dollars.

I never understood how an extra $20 million or $40 million (with matching funds) private donation a year
was supposed to "transform" the entire city education system with tens of thousand of mostly
poor kids?

Mark Zuckerberg's 5-year donation added up to approx an extra 2 percent annually of Newark's
general education fund.

In comparison, let's say you are making $40,000 a year. Your boss offers you a 2 percent increase for next year, or an $800 dollar raise.

Would your $40,000 life be suddenly "transformed" by an extra 800 dollars?

Its nice to have some extra dollars, but c'mon.

that's a bad comparison. The dollar amount or the percentage isn't as important as what can actually be purchased with it.

He knows nothing about politics and how they use money against people. I hope he never runs for office...Well actually if he is willing to just give all this money away he may be the right person for us. We deserve them reparations.

that's a bad comparison. The dollar amount or the percentage isn't as important as what can actually be purchased with it.

What can be "purchased" of transformational value over a five-year period, with a $200 million
donation to a general Newark education fund of $4.2 billion dollars, over that same period of time?

So the already-allocated $4.2 billion in state funding won't move the needle in the Newark system, but the $200 million donation does?

Where has this happened previously?

 

[longhairr]

That's because money was only part of the problem.

 

[ORDER_66]

What a dumbass... 100 million down the drain...

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Lil Raheem still can't read

Was Booker able to raise another 100 millie to match Zuckerberg's donation?

100mil in 5 years and he still got juxed?

[EndDomination]

You mean throwing money at the problem is a waste?








Shocking.

If the money reached individual schools and districts and was used solely for resources for teachers, students, and administrators, it would solve the issue.
Its like dropping gems through multiple sieves, and by the time you reach the bottom where they should be going, all you have are grains of sand.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

What happens when you give money to people who dont give a darn anout the people the money is supposed to serve.

Charter schools are a racket
