I think Zuckerberg and Bill Gates are just showboating.
They could do something useful like setting up tutoring centers to help struggling kids. The crnters would provide one on one help for qualified kids.
One of the best charities I have been associated with are the Scottish Rites Speech and Language Clinics.
They provide free speech therapy to qualified kids for 18 months. Both of my daughters qualified. It got my daughters on the right track. I learned so much and also knew the public school system was off base. The public school said one of my daughters was a select mute and choosing not to talk. The Scottish Rite Clinic said it was apraxia of speech. They encouraged me to get an MRI. They gave me websites about it. My daughter still needed speech therapy after 18 months, but she was on the right tract.
I think providing tutoring for dyslexics in California would be especially useful because California schools don’t even test for dsylexia. For the money Zuckerberg is gving he could set up centers that would test and tutor dyslexics.
“Gift” is a noun, not a verb. The correct word is “give.”
Now that was a waste of money.
Because he made such a difference in Newark.
