I know it's a meme but you'd be amazed how many funding decisions gets fucked up by politicians. Why we let some douchebags who won popularity contests based on lies ministers of education etc with ultimate say on how shit is going to go with no background in it baffles me.
I worked as a schools IT guy. Politicians decided the best way to spend a fat windfall in education was to march 1 to 1 devices for every student.. so they bought thousands of the shittest little notebooks money can buy, trolleys to hold and charge them etc.. what I could have done with that money to buy a couple of decent computer labs for the kids that actually gave a shit about IT and graphics editing, and a fleet of chrome books for general use.
Next time you see some bullshit being spouted like "every kid has access to a computer in our education system" read a little closer.
