Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, The New York Times published an article the other
day that must have made every liberal reader orgasmic. Silicon
Valley billionaires are remaking American schools. Some of them are
offering grants to encourage innovation. Others, like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook,
are taking a more profitable approach. He's got software in
a hundred schools which supposedly puts kids in charge of
(00:22):
their own learning and turns teachers into facilitators and mentors. Obviously,
if his software takes off, it's a huge market and
paid for by taxpayers, not Zuckerberg. Now, while these rich
and influential titans of technology are focused on education, millions
of students are serving as de facto beta testers for
their ideas. As the Times puts it, anyway, that's shut
(00:46):
to bring a smile to every liberal. I mean, this
has all the elements, rich, successful progressive tech gurus on
federal subsidies giving back to the community beta testing their kids.
But in reality this is a damning indictment of the
state of public education when all the money American taxpayers
have poured into it for decades, we ought to have
(01:08):
the best education system in the world now, not years.
In the future, and we shouldn't need these tech titans
to do it. Instead, we have massive institutional failure, an
education system that has been run into the ground Biliberals
and their unions in the first place, and unless that's acknowledged,
new technology, no matter how great, will not turn it around.
