Dollmont asks, "What would you do with $100,000,000,000?". In a nutshell: Improve the educational infrastructure in your country or depose a dictator?
Well, heck. Which one of these is better for the global community as a whole? What do I get to replace the deposed dictator with? How long will it take? Does everyone under the dictator have to die?
I know from personal experience that if you pay teachers what they're worth, they'll give even more energy, time, and dedication to their students. Do you know how many teachers shell out part of their paycheck every year just to keep the classroom lurching forward? Aside from the fact that teaching will look more attractive as a potential profession, if you can actually live on what they pay you.
If I had any integer followed by a gross of zeros? You bet I'd be giving it to teachers. There's looking to the long term, and then there's looking to the really long term, by investing in subsequent generations.
