Bill Gates Tacitly Admits His Common Core Experiment Was A Failure

Bill Gate spent $400 million of his money to promote an unqualified education system without a pilot program—government spent $4 trillion teaching kids that two plus two could equal five, if you understood the process. Miseducation is what Common Core is known for and continues to abuse young people. Thanks to Bill Gates a generation of students will lose the opportunity for real education.

“Based on everything we have learned in the past 17 years, we are evolving our education strategy,” Gates wrote on his blog as a preface to a speech he gave last week in Cleveland. He followed this by detailing how U.S. education has essentially made little improvement in the years since he and his foundation — working so closely with the Obama administration that federal officials regularly consulted foundation employees and waived ethics laws to hire several — began redirecting trillions of public dollars towards programs he now admits haven’t accomplished much.

“If there is one thing I have learned,” Gates says in concluding his speech, “it is that no matter how enthusiastic we might be about one approach or another, the decision to go from pilot to wide-scale usage is ultimately and always something that has to be decided by you and others the field.” If this statement encompasses his Common Core debacle, Gates could have at least the humility to recall that Common Core had no pilot before he took it national. There wasn’t even a draft available to the public before the Obama administration hooked states into contracts, many of which were ghostwritten with Gates funds, pledging they’d buy that pig in a poke.”

Rich people, along with a totalitarian government and the result is an educational abuse of students.
