Educare is a great program.  I hope it keeps spreading.  Thanks to the Kaiser foundation Oklahoma is leading the way with a positive.

QuoteTo fill those great facilities with great teachers, Kaiser's foundation donates $1.2 million a year to Tulsa Community College and the University of Oklahoma to fund programs to train early ed specialists. If young teachers work in Oklahoma for four years after graduation, they'll get their tuition reimbursed in full.


That is great.

It blows my mind these projects don't get more local air time.  They'd be doing such a huge community service just talking about it a few times a month on the local news and in the paper.

All of them would have to start off with "This has nothing to do with your taxes.  This is all privately funded."

Mainly because Mr. Kaiser seems to understand the best works are performed without recognition.

That self-aggrandiser Bartmann could use a lesson in class from GK.  Anyone else believe Bartmann's claim that he really was a billionaire at one point?  I sure don't.  He's so full of smile he can't even fart.

That be Julius Caesar the 2nd....why'd you have to come onto this thread and throw down stink? That's not needed here. :-*


edjit: George Kaiser is smart (that's not news, of course), but plans like his need political advocacy and congressional approval. How do you win that when the people chosen to serve don't have the capacity to comprehend or the willingness to make the hard decisions, and the people who elect them are so undereducated?

It's the Wall Street Journal - you knew that going in.

Conan, Murdochian alert here for you!!

The New WSJ is just another one of those Fox outlets that twists, distorts, and misleads.  All in the name of Murdoch/Cheney/Rove RWRE Murdochian Koch Imperialistic Voyeurism.

Kaiser is a great guy and we need more like him.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

The Educare system apparently is nationwide.  Buffet, Gates, Kaiser - all in on the deal.

I'm pinching the bridge of my nose trying to stave off a migraine right now.  Thanks a pant-load.

Isnt there a Billionaires club where all the members are giving it all away when they die or something like that.
I have been a long standing member of the Hundredaires club and I'm taking mine with me.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.
