I think the whole thing will go down in history as being one of the most stupid wastes of money ever. So many of the schools in their target countries have no power in the classrooms or the kids homes and the school kids struggle just to by the uniforms. Even if this is a mild success and not the waste I predict, there are so many better ways to make an impact on education with that money.

I dont even think there is reason to believe computers in US schools make much of a difference.
