Gates plan to put more money in his pocket by eventually eliminating the need for teachers, period. Computerization of all schools. Roboticization of the Dept of Education. And eventually, all of our children will be educated by their computers at home. Gone will be the social interaction between teachers and students, students and students.

What I think the word's biggest problems are are entrepreneurs like Bill Gates with dollar signs in their minds eyes. Our biggest problem is not being able to understand or see how vulture capitalists have us as a species in their talons. Picking apart our commons.
