Bill Gates is also behind pushing Common Core education. I won't debate the merits of the ideas but I will say the implementation of it has been a ineffective mess. My wife is a teacher and they are still struggling as to WHAT exactly Common Core is and HOW it can be implemented.
You might say that is due to the politicians and bureaucrats but when you drop transformative concepts onto society, you have some responsibility to provide an instruction manual and at least beta test your concepts.
Gates is polished, good at selling himself, and convincing but his "vision" isn't always on track and his "products" don't always work as designed.
