@cis_female @Bordash But the $/visit of an online model is infinite. You and I agree that $/visit is a bad way to evaluate the effect of an online library, so why would it be good way to evaluate a SFs hybrid model that combines physical space with online services?

[Guthrie Gray-Lobe @LobeGray]

@cis_female @Bordash I found your initial post thought provoking, but by now you have all the information you need to recognize that it is not convincing. And you've said as much in admitting that a tweet cannot provide complete analysis.

[Guthrie Gray-Lobe @LobeGray]

@cis_female @Bordash Sounds like we'd agree that a tweet isn't a great place for analysis of cost effectiveness. And you'd agree with the dozens of posters that libraries do a lot of socially valuable things that aren't accounted for by foot traffic alone.

[Guthrie Gray-Lobe @LobeGray]

@cis_female @Bordash Your original post argued that SF libraries cost too much per visit and should be replaced. Now you're acknowledging that visits do not capture all of the benefit of libraries to claim your fully online alternative is cost effective. Your engaging in pure sophistry.

[Guthrie Gray-Lobe @LobeGray]

@cis_female @Bordash Then your original post is without a point.

[Guthrie Gray-Lobe @LobeGray]

@cis_female @Bordash The cost per visit of a fully online library would be infinitely more expensive, because there are no visits in a completely online model. (cost of running an online system)/(zero visits).

Teachers’ voices are critical, yet rarely considered when designing #education programs. This #WorldTeachersDay, Luis Benveniste of @WBG_Education and I discuss a new theory of pedagogical change that centers teacher views for improved program design.

I agree that political economy and the willingness of elites to allow reform is important for growth (who could disagree), but I find it less useful to compare political economy as a driver of growth to aid as the media loves to do. Thread 1/n
