BILL GATES' 11 RULES THAT STUDENTS DO NOT LEARN IN SCHOOL



In Bill Gates' new book (Business @ The Speed of Thought), he lays out 11 rules that students do not learn in high school or college, but should. He argues that our feel-good, politically-correct teachings have created a generation of kids with no concept of reality who are set up for failure in the real world.

because he is Jewish. Jews support dems to the tune of 80%.

but sounds very un-Gatesian.

The Gate's are socialists. His father is dead set against elimination of the Death Tax. How utterly hypocritical. He may do wonderful things by giving away vast amounts of his wealth, but his pronouncement on many issues is very socialistic. It is amazing how those who benefit most from Capitalism turn out in many cases to be it's harhest critics. Ir you ever read much about Gate's father, you would puke. He is a royal P.O.S. Oh, by the way, did you know he is a lawyer.

Yep. Turner and Soros are two more; also Warren Buffet if I recall correctly. They get theirs, but want to make sure the lower orders are denied as many opportunities as possible to advance their petty little lives. They seem to believe that while they themselves were "meant" to be wealthy, most people just couldn't handle it.

# RULE 8 - Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they will ask as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Then why does Bill Gates give 4 year scholarships to kids in Washington State regardless of their GPA?

Gates isn't Jewish. Although I think that Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer are.
