Don’t forget they blew $1 billion on a failed iPad rollout 10-ish years ago…

It's wild. We know what helps kids and we keep looking for ridiculous, expensive (someone made some money) "solutions" and complain about paying for the basics.

What infuriates me most is that these shills knew they didn't have anything to sell before they even stuck their hand out. Stealing out of the pockets of literal children. Ghouls, each and every one of them.

At a bare minimum, it could have funded school lunches for all for some period of time.

The first impulse is always “um actually it’s more complicated than that” but yeah, 6 mil could hire a lot of counsellors and supporting staff/infrastructure. Tech is such a big market for flimflams and scams it’s crazy how everyone falls for every bridge scam that comes out.

Imagine if all the money put into political campaigns and PACs went to food, housing, education, and healthcare. We’d really be a great country.

Didn't you get the memo from Corporations? We hate people, in fact we want AI to replace all blue collar workers, because machines don't need salary. We are in a race to see which billionaire can become a trillionaire first. Then the 1% along with AI shoot to the moon, letting people die on Earth.

Tech companies, whether it's standardized testing or smart boards or AI, see public schools are cash cows to milk dry, sucking all this money out of the district and community and no accountability when their products fail to live up to expectations. I hate it so much.

I really liked the book the revenge of analog by David sax, it had a chapter on edtech showing how a lot of attempts at education technology waste money and analog stuff helps more often

Does money simply vanish when techbro grifters get a hold of it or do they still have ankles by which they can be held up and shaken until all the money falls back out of their pockets? Or other such legal remedies

AI is for the rich to monopolize. To steal our jobs, and the taxes that should go to our public good. Then they’re going to sell it all back to us cheaper and crappier. Telling us from on high to be thankful for the crumbs we get.
