Anonymous Coward User ID: 70357763 United States 09/26/2015 07:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ZUCKERBERG'S $100M donation to NEWARK schools ends in FAILURE In 2010, Mark Zuckerberg donated $100 million to Newark, New Jersey's failing public-school system with the intention of turning around the schools in five years. The goals Zuckerberg set out to achieve — to enact a number of reforms that would make Newark a model city for education reform — are widely seen as a failure, journalist Dale Russakoff told Business Insider.
So where exactly did that $100 million go if the turnaround was a failure? The $100 million from Zuckerberg actually became $200 million under the agreement other sources would match his contribution. Here's where that money went:
Labor and contract costs: $89.2 million Charter schools: $57.6 million Consultants: $21 million Various local initiatives: $24.6 million
One of the biggest failures in Zuckerberg's plan to reform Newark schools was the renegotiated teachers' contracts.
The expansion of charters in Newark sent the city into upheaval due to the implementation of the plan.
Finally, $20 million of Zuckerberg's donation went to consultants who took care of management of the projects. Consultants were making $1,000 a day while the local teachers and administrators did not see any of the additional funds in merit pay that they were promised.

However, such projects cannot and will not ever work because liberalism builds nothing, it only destroys. |

All you have to do is reward high performers and punish and fire low performers to get any job done right. Unfortunately that mentality doesn't sit well with socialist lazy asshole idiots, who are often found in charge due to their honed bullshitting skills. |
