re: If you won $250 million powerball, how much would you give the HS you attended?

Since throwing more money at a failing high school has ever worked before.

In fact, high schools from New York to Cincinnati to Los Angeles have turned themselves around without necessarily spending lots of money. Here is the story of one high school in Staten Island, NY:

I myself have tutored at an inner city elementary school here in Orlando that's gone from an F to a B school in recent years.

The innovative thinking and programs already exist; the $225 million I'd donate would be for state-of-the-art EVERYTHING for that school. Given the best of everything, from laptop computers to personalized instruction and tutoring, scholarship money available for just about any deserving student--I'm confident that the perception of going to school at Poor Inner City High would change quickly and drastically, and as would the performances of the students.

Of course, to test my theory, I'll need a winning Power Ball ticket in the amount of $250 million....
