no review of priorities and spending sounds like it would always lead to a disaster.
Gov't IS THE PROBLEM!!!!

Charter schools aren't the problem. They're a symptom of the problem in public schools. I didn't go to a charter or private school because our public schools were good. But take those decent public schools and turn them into shit then it's no wonder many parents are willing to try private/charter schools as an alternative.
Government is bad at spending other peoples money because the people aren't in the street flipping the fuck out when their money gets poorly spent. But hey, House of Cards is 4K in June. Sure, in 100 years our kids will be so dumb we won't even be to innovate technology and solutions but whatevs.
I didn't bring up Charters school, lol. But ok.
Corporate education reform is one if the worst things about the democrat party. Really? 20 million on consultants? Charter schools?
What a joke.
Aren't Booker and Christie Republican?
$1000 a day for a consultant is only a $125 bill rate. That's not abnormal at all.
Is it abnormal for them to serve no purpose and accomplish nothing?
Education reform is popular with a lot of dems. Just look at Obama's Secretary of Education.Booker is a Dem with different views on education. Most would say Repub views.
I'm not going to say all or the majority but a size able amount of dems support "corporate" education reform with all the bullshit that comes with it.Booker is a Dem with different views on education. Most would say Repub views.
I definitely wouldn't say its abnormal. My private sector company I work at is currently paying a shit ton of money to consultants who I think mainly work on convincing upper management to keep paying them indefinitely.Is it abnormal for them to serve no purpose and accomplish nothing?
When has pouring money into schools ever fixed anything?
It would if the money ever got to the schools. New Jersey dams are hollow.When has pouring money into schools ever fixed anything?
He could and should have gone with an endowment and trusts to get this rolling. It may very well be in realm of possibility that Mark has horrible advisors around him
"Consultant" more often than not seems to mean "six figure bullshit artist".

As a project manager, this really makes me angry. While the last quote isn't really wrong, it's not something you say when you're still at 0% completion.

Public relation consultants win again
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The government is not efficient at spending your money. It's about as efficient as the crack whore down the street. You know where your money is going if you give it to her. Which is the main reason I want the government cut to bare-bones.
Who do you think is better at spending your money? You, or the government?
Article paints consultants as the scum of the Earth and some Gaffers say they want to become one. Nice one guys!
Good government has oversights to stop consultants and private individuals from ripping people off. This is just a story of what happens best in the US. Like healthcare the money goes to administration costs rather than actual treatment.people trusted the government to handle $100 million with honor and integrity and made sure not one penny was wasted?
how naive
Obviously I'm a consultant so my take is biased, but I've seen stuff like this in private sector as well as public. It's not a "lolololz gubmint" thing. Whenever you have a chunk of money without clear objectives, deliverables, and vision stuff like this happens regardless of the kind of institution. Zuckerberg was at best naive, but most likely stupid in saying "here's a ton of money, do something" I mean, do you really think this would have played out any different in the private sector if you gave them a chunk of cash and no real objective or anything? Come now.It's actually not for a skilled consultant. But 20 million on them is abnormal when your budget is 200 million. Consultants aren't supposed to be brought on full-time at their high rate, which is what it sounds like was done.

I feel like the people dumping the blame on charter schools and consultants hasn't actually read the article, or else they have poor reading comprehension, or else they're intentionally ignoring the substance of the article for axe-grinding purposes.
So can you tell us what people should be taking out of the article instead of engaging in drive-by insults?
