Analysis: Um, who are Melinda and Bill Gates trying to kid?
Melinda and Bill Gates. By Valerie Strauss Valerie Strauss Reporter covering education, foreign affairs Email Bio Follow April 16 at 2:47 PM What are Melinda and Bill Gates talking about?
That prompted a “jaw-dropping” tweet from author and journalist Anand Giridharadas, whose latest book is “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World.” He wrote: The Gates Foundation began its first big effort in this world nearly 20 years ago with what it said was a $650 million investment to break large failing high schools into small schools, on the theory that small schools worked better than large ones. Some do, of course, and some don’t, but in any case, Bill Gates declared in 2009 it hadn’t worked the way he had hoped , and the foundation moved on.
But then Gates wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post in 2013 saying it hadn’t gone as he had hoped. A 2018 report concluded that the teacher evaluation project had failed to achieve its goal of improving student achievement in any significant way.In 2016, Sue Desmond-Hellmann, chief executive officer of the foundation, conceded in that year’s annual letter that school overhaul was harder than they thought: “However, we’re facing the fact that it is a real struggle to make systemwide change.
All of this is a complement to what teachers do, not a replacement. Your teacher gets a rich report showing what you read and watched, which problems you got right and wrong, and the areas where you need more help. When you come to class the next day, she is equipped with a ton of specific information and suggestions to help her make the most of her time with you.
These “nontraditional” students often don’t have the time or resources to effectively navigate an inefficient, inflexible learning environment designed to meet other people’s needs. That’s a big reason why two out of every five students who enroll in higher education will either withdraw for a while or drop out altogether.
