Hmm, it doesn't appear to be their intention to fuck up education though.

They tried to fund smaller classes but it ended up not improving performance and made schools more costly over the long term, (crappy instructors/hiring policies were likely the root cause of the failure, and then those new small schools didn't provide a good ror on the money invested vs other projects)

So then they tried to improve teacher quality with bonus schemes, but their implementation made the problem worse (who decides who gets the bonus? What happens when the majority are mediocre bad actors?).

Then they backed common core which was rolled out quickly for fear that teachers, schools, and parents would water it down. And there was a vehement backlash.

It looks like they just keep fucking up on the little details, which naturally is going to fuck up initiatives that could've worked.

They need better employees and a ceo :/

I agree the Gates Foundation does not intend to screw up public education.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
