Idaho: A Teacher Writes About the School That Ivanka Trump and Tim Cook Visited | Diane Ravitch’s blog

There was widespread publicity when First Daughter Ivanka Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the Wilder Elementary School in Idaho. Some of the local media were less than enthusiastic, mentioning high school student protests and low test scores. Some even pointed out that the district bought the iPads with funding from a program created during the Obama administration.

A teacher wrote to the blog to explain the back story. I won’t use her name, but you can find it on her comment that appears on the blog.

Just like every story on the internet, there is a different side to this. The iPads aren’t the enemy here. The real issue is a small district with no checks or balances allowing one person to be in power.
