Major difference in incentive, too. Money over a children's education.

Public school teachers seem to typically end up reciting the mantra "it's for the children" but ... not really. It's about increasing benefits and never being held accountable for kids who can't read or write when they're pushed out of the pipeline at graduation.
The rich donors stuff is ... pathetically old and shopworn.
