"This is not about the founder of Facebook. For me, it’s about academics and what’s happening in the schools. We’ve been throwing money at the problem for a long time. I can applaud what [Zuckerberg] did, but I’m not going to break my arm patting him on the back. In terms of performance, in terms of creating a better academic experience, if money were the issue, then prisons would be the most effective place to send children because that’s where we spend the most amount of money. This is not about the money, it’s about transforming the way in which we operate public education."
— Steve Perry, CNN Education Commentator, regarding Mark Zuckerberg’s $100 million gift to Newark schools, destroying Facebook fanboy David Kirkpatrick’s praise for the gesture. (via gbattle)
