Why is everyone having such a problem with Oprah Winfrey opening those schools in South Africa?

Question

I understand about the children in need here, but she is one person who has done plenty here also. She did have a small community built for the some of the Katrina victims, I believe it's called Angel square. Not to mention the fact that she does have a valid point about our children (and I do mean 'our'),wanting more material things than knowledge. Not all but enough. Maybe she's trying to get the ball rolling. Start a competition even. That's how we seem to work. She does this over there and someone tries to show her up here. Hey, whatever works....as long as the children (all over) benefit in the long run. What do you think?

Answer 1

You are so right ! Most people take our free education for granted they do not realize that in other perts of the world there NO schools. The opportunity she is offering is enormous !
