Bill Gates Foundation, Gates has hope in American Education Options

[nbleven]

As some of you know, the US has a pretty good educational system. Schools are usually well financed, progams are quite interesting, and kids have good chances to read and write. However, some Americans judge the national school system too poor, and needs to be boosted. Indeed, some school have a poor level, as many children are from other countries and have difficulties speaking English. Also, some schools are asking for more money to pay material, to renovate classes, etc.

States cannot afford giving extra money to certain schools, as they already have specific budgets. The gouverment must pay the war in Iraq, and is not particularly interested in investing more in Education. The current Educational budget remains one of the biggest budget for the gouverment, but there still needs improvement.

Bill Gates understands people's reaction, and has decided to do something. He is the richest man on earth, and isn't using his money to invest in many houses in Florida, Barbados, or California. In fact, he lately invested 500 million dollars in aids. Today, he has created the Bill Gates foundation, investing in public and private school to make the American education even more talented. Yet, he is one of the only foundation to contribute as much money for the entire country. Some schools asked him for money, and he responds to their demand.

Gates is playing the hero; do you think he can help a lot in the Education business? Do you Education in the USA is good enough ? Are there any similar foundations helping the Education in your country?
