• Christie: Does that mean you'll be buying me a dozen fastfood franchises too?

• I just posted this on Facebook.I wonder how fast it will be taken down?

    • Is that where the WB frog originated? Been wondering about that for awhile!

      • yeppers.

• Zuckerburg is a moron that got lucky and accidentally fell into coming up with a fad. If he keeps doing stupid stuff like this he'll be broke by the time he is 50. What fool thought this money would end up anywhere but in politicians pockets?

  • Facebook seems to be having a wee bit of trouble with it's stock going DOWN.....looks like fools who bought into this may just get their just rewards yet...

• So may we now put to rest the notion that lack of funding isn't the problem with our public schools?

  • It never has been lack of funding. When the schools were barely funded back in the 1800's, they were producing 6th graders that could run circles around the high school grads of today. But then, they didn't have common core or many of the worthless curriculum they have today, they "wasted" their time on the 3 R's and history.

    • Some of the current highly successful schools are in rural areas n in the Midwest, and the spending per student is very.low. It takes commitment from parents students and staff. Thatvaccomplishes miracles.

      • oh yeah? what'd the tv ever do cept, sit there glow and make noise?

    • AND still used the Bible as a Primer, maybe not all, but many.

  • Stop being silly. This is a serious discussion.

• More like Zuckerberg made a deal with the devils.

• Obama and his merry band of idiots blew through $700 million in the south side of Chicago and the schools were worse. Obama and his cronies became rich though. Probably no connection though.

  • Think of it as a campaign donation. I'm sure the money all found it's way into the proper pockets.

• You spend a hundred million bucks and whatta get? Another dumb student who can't think yet......

  Think 16 tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford.....

• Why didn't anyone ever listen to that Englishman who realized that if you eat the children that don't get good grades the problem goes away all by itself?

• Think what Camden could have done with that money. s/

  • Is Camden worse than Newark? Like East St. Louis is worse than Detroit?

    • Yes, Camden is worse than Newark. In the same way that getting shot in the head with a .44 is worse than getting shot in the head with a .357

      • Oh, come on Andre, the only way to tell the difference between the two is with a map.

• The problems with our public schools can not be corrected with money.

  • Yes, if he set something up outside the public school system, it would already be a raging success. But he went & tried propping up a failed model & got a predictable result.

  • Wrong. A $100,000 bounty on all teacher union leaders and administrators would work wonders.

  • You see that. I see that. Newark Schools just got a buttload of money and accomplished nothing so you would think THEY would see that, but... I doubt it.
