It takes a billionaire to get TV to look at education

Everyone's talking about Opra's big TV broadcast this week on the problems with the schools and it was primarily driven because billionaire Bill Gates (of MicroSoft if you live in a cave) and his spouse are raising a flag about the issues.
Well, heck... I'm a thousandaire and have been raising this issue publically on television since the inception of The Modern Renaissance Man television show. Obviously, it takes the big bucks for people to realize that what is happening to our children is bad. "Hell", a broke idiot could have figured this out.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what the [now] enlightened powers-at-be will actually do about all the dysfuncationality being created with our children. Of course, remember, the much of the problem is NOT a problem of the school systems - its a problem from poor parenting. I want to see Opra and Bill spread that word too. I guess it's not too politically correct to say that most wealthy parents are slack parents [did I say that?] and now the middle-class parrents are matching suit since their the rich wannbees.
Keep watching the
TMRM show and maybe... one day... I'll have the audience to put out such "enlightened" messages too also.
And, that's the way I feel.
