Ruth McCambridge, editor-in-chief of the NonProfit Quarterly, wonders why Bill Gates continues to pour new money into his failed initiatives. Is it because he can never say he was wrong? Actually, he did admit he was wrong in 2008, when he pulled the plug on his $2 billion bet on breaking up big high schools into small high schools. There may have been some positive results, but he wanted better test scores and when he didn’t get them, he deep-fixed the whole idea.

McCambridge was annoyed to see that Gates is still offering grants to anyone who might breathe life into the Common Core standards.
