Chapter 58.4: Strong in Addition

This is good to see. The ExxonMobil Corporation (through its foundation) has pledged $125 million to a math and science initiative to improve the advanced placement courses of those subjects and to train more teachers. Plus, they're "expecting" more corporations and foundations to pony up some cash. This usually means they know it's going to happen and enough time will pass to let those other groups garner some accolades for themselves. In my opinion (based on no actual conversations), I'd be surprised if we didn't see a major grant awarded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill Gates has been outspoken for the need for more and better training in math and science. Here's to hoping it happens.
