Step up to the plate Mr. Gates and use your billions to fund the under-funded schools. That should solve the problem.

A thousand time's Gate money would do nothing to improve the schools. Public education is a cancer on the mind. The public schools exists for the main purpose of making obedient citizens, not critical thinkers. The public schools are working as intended. If Gates had any true insight in this matter who would bluntly point out that "education is far to important to leave in the hands of government beaurcates. The fact he doesn't recognige this is because he is a liberal and can't see that government is THE problem. I am a big fan of President Bush, but the fact he greatly increased the Dept of Education budget shows he is blind on this matter too. It is a sin against our children that leaders can't speak the truth about education. It is disgusting.

I agree with you. Washington DC spends over $10,000 per student. Check out this sign from a couple of years ago.

Yes, it's a real sign, and yes, it made it through the school administration and was approved for placement on school buses. You can't give people more money than they'll steal or waste.
