		The Annenberg experience put an exclamation mark on longstanding frustrations regarding the results of philanthropic giving to public schooling, and its disappointing conclusion heralded the entry of a new generation of funders eager to try another tack.

		The Annenberg Challenge was not set up to challenge the status quo; rather it relied upon much the same set of relationships and processes that had yielded the status quo in large public school systems.
