Since I made the initial comment:
Yes, he has donated funds. I cannot tell him where to place his funds, but I can voice the opinion where it would better be served. HE made the comment about Hooked on Phonics, soooooooooo if that is the problem-area (which it is, I can say this as a teacher)... channel your funds THERE! If he would have mentioned locating a job after you get your degree, then I would not have suggested supporting primary grade levels financially.
BTW, I would love for him to donate a few duckets to the program where I tutor reading. Maybe, I would not have to donate my funds (public school teachers don't make JACK!)

on supplies/materials.
ETA: not only Bill, but the other rich AAs. They are not wealthy, they are rich.
