 Tim Kubik (@Kubikhan)12/24/12 7:44 AM For Poor, Leap to College Often Ends in a Hard Fall nyti.ms/WFAYXI #edu. The answer is networks, not more standards. ___________
Providing a pair of recycled glasses is almost twice as expensive ($20.49) as delivering a new, ready-made pair ($11.28), the researchers concluded. It’s also less effective, given that used spectacles are sometimes unfashionable, gender- inappropriate or mismatched to the person’s face shape. Moreover, supplying donated glasses does nothing to develop a sustainable eye-care industry in the community being served. Creating or expanding educational facilities would require an injection of funds. Training centers, however, eventually could become self-sustaining by seeing patients and dispensing glasses.
smart.. yet perhaps more... a better version of pbl... perhaps instead of steering some people some places ... we set everyone free.. as the day... city-wide.. [ again like jim's exponentiated]
The researchers also factored in the costs of establishing, equipping and running eye-care shops for the first five years. Their assumption is that, after that, day-to-day costs could be recouped from patients. Once the optometrist’s training and startup costs have been covered, an exam and a pair of ready- made glasses might cost a patient $2. Expanding economies could enable developing countries to address other health needs with their own resources. Thus, a strike against the 14th most harmful disease is also a blow to the other miseries on that list.
90bill loss or 20bill spenc..
imagine that.. exponentiated
