Education
OUR EDITORIAL CONTENT IS COMING SOON. AND WHEN IT DOES, YOU CAN EXPECT STORIES ABOUT:
Education. If we have any hope of creating a level playing field today, then that hope runs through the halls of our schools. It is in those schools that the future generations of business and cultural leaders are supposed to gain the tools they need to survive - and succeed - in our society. But we all know that isn't always happening. Our schools are in crisis, and with them, our future.
That is why millions of private dollars are flowing into our public schools. Some of them are individual dollars - Eli Broad and the Broad foundation are very public examples of this. Some of them are corporate dollars - organizations like Target and Washington Mutual dedicate millions to improve the academic foundation on which our future (made of millions of individual futures) is built.
JUST CAUSE will track the innovations, both public and private that are improving our schools. We will tell you the stories in a way that may provide solutions in your city, and introduce you to the players in a way that will remind you that you, too, can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
