Experience from Denmark: when public institutions make it-systems they almost always fail.

The "exam submission system" for primary schools failed completely the first two times when the pupils was sitting the exam.

The police completely cancelled their new it-system after spending $90 million.

etc.

So when the (Danish) public sector makes stuff that's worse than BLACKBOARD, it might for the time being be the least of the evils to outsource it to the private sector.
