Well Bill, if you're so concerned about our schools, why don't you start contributing more of your billions to them, instead of to all the other issues in other foreign countries?

Reform in America's schools is a practical impossibility, thanks to the Teacher's Union. My mother was still teaching back 20 years ago, and when she refused to join their union, they went about doing everything they could to get her fired. They never succeeded, she ended up quiting first, but not because of them trying to get her fired, but because the paddle was taken out her hand.

Schools have PLENTY of money through our property taxes. Our county spends about $4,500 per student per year. The largest problem is the Socialistic nature of the National Education Association (NEA).

"Gates said his foundation had contributed about $1 billion to improve the quality of U.S. education and was supporting reforms at more than 1,500 high schools."
