          What does it mean for a CEO to contribute attention, but not money, to a school?

          Tech doesn't like helping people without getting to "disrupt". They want to contribute *influence*, not $. They think they know best.

          public schools aren't a charity, and corporations aren't the government. Or at least, they shouldn't be.

          As if any CEO would give money to a school without first giving it attention

          Gary, to call it taxes, you'd have to waste the majority, fail to get results, then demand more. I think Marc meant succeed like a business.

          @paulg you're missing the point. If successful people manage resources, our schools will stop failing. Then what do the politicians do?

          Ok attention is cool too but it doesn't pay the bills. The mental gymnastics and self-delusion to make this argument is Bannon-esque.
