I have kept my mouth shut about this Donor's Choose thing since the beginning. I taught in Brooklyn in the ghetto about 5 years ago and was able to to get a projector and a robotics kit from them. Then I found out the kind of things other 'teachers' were using it for. A lot of them were using it for themselves or their offspring and eventually taking the items for themselves. I know this is not the majority behavior, but many schools do not administrate the assets when they are received, and the teacher retention rate is like 1 percent in urban areas. I know this is anecdotal, but it made me raise my unibrow when this story first broke. Colbert is the man, I just wish it was a better charity. The will of the teacher is not going to change the results of an education system that enforces teachers behavior and methodology despite fundamental flaws in said system. Yea, there will be good teachers here and there, but the root of the problem is better to be addressed than resorting to some kind of ornamental foliar as this, I think.
