I think it argues the opposite.

The school was likely a failure. I couldn't find any stats on success of children but I find that telling as if it was lifting kids out of poverty effectively it would have been advertised. Its probably just not effective and the money could be better spent elsewhere.

Were this a public project it would have persisted indefinitely and have a lobbying constituency to keep setting money on fire.

We want more failed experiments. If committing to a venture where there is no off ramp if it doesn't work, no one will invest
