Many schools already have both peer and student reviews, especially for contract instructors. What needs to change to change education is abandoning that idea that when kids are on school it’s on their own terms and putting school officials and instructors back in charge of the shcools and classrooms.

Let’s do a brief analysis of this news…
Is he adding to the overpopulation issue? Or is it really a market research strategy to know where the rich can invest to add to their millions???
The real outcome of this work perhaps is saving a few more babies surviving for a few more years in societies where their options are very few at best. What if he trained and educated the mothers of those babies instead to empower them economically to have a viable choice themselves? To save them from a rape driven, painful existence to become independent thinkers and survivors of war infested societies. The resources are very limited on this planet and Mr Gates’ actions and applications of his wealth are not doing any good for anyone!
Finally, he would do a lot of good if he established college and high school funding/grant programs in the US to encourage continued, quality education in his own backyard with an expectation that the graduates would payback via international assistance and problem solving roles and responsibilities??? This will remedy our own youth’s educational and work prospects here now plus impacting the under developed countries and their youth.
Otherwise, executives like Bill Gates and John Chambers and others are very actively making his country a “third-world” at the mercy of others who are benefiting from their capital investments and business and wealth growth strategies.

As much as I respect Mr. Gates, he did not complete his degree program. Money as a factor should not have precluded him from doing so, because now I will not use his words as an example for my children in college who will likely mention the very same thing.

“Why are you telling us about Bill Gates, Mom? He didn’t even finish college!”

He is doing good and there are not many who would give away their fortunes like he does to help others. We need more like him. All you haters are just jealous and know that you would never do that to help others so you cannot understand it.

“After the Gates Foundation’s vaccination efforts in India, that nation reported only one case of polio last year.” I thank the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for their challenge grant, but they aren’t the ones to be credited with the decrease in polio in India. Rotary International has been a spearheading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative since 1988, along with WHO, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation contributed financially to The Rotary Foundation a total of US$405 Million. Rotarians raised over US$200 Million in matching contributions. Rotary International helps plan and carry out the National Immunization Days in the polio endemic countries.

Bottom line is the bottom dollar and he may have given away money but he has now also publicly invested in one of the largest controlled technologies that will eventually have a payoff wherein the goal is to control the food chain. Who really knows at this point if that is all he has invested considering he has supported genetically modified foods for quite a number of years. Monsanto itself and it’s other affiliates such as Syngenta, DuPont and Bayer share one thing in common and that is global domination of food production wherein what other place if your are a man who wanted a guaranteed return investment would go other than to a market that regardless of economics will still be in demand.

This does not surprise me in the least. Sure there are individuals whom actually believe that genetically modified foods are actually a positive solution (though have no concern for the ramifications of creating or ingesting such products which has been scientifically proven) however he is also a man of technology who has had the fiscal lions share before and well once you have reign of one kingdom you know doubt have built in senses on what other kingdoms would be good for fiscal dominating. Although he paints quite the portrait for wanting to support supposed drought resistant food that are so far appearing as if impervious to infestation this is nothing more than a certified business move into a market that will never decline.

Whatever. As long as he’s the one that foots the bill.
