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.

Ok, I see your logic. I'd think however, that if he's already dropped $900 million at the collegiate level, that's probably where he thinks the most difference/impact can be made, and his phonics comment might have been off the cuff. but who knows?

hey, if we wind up taking up a GC collection, put me down for $20.
