Gee Matt,
 
  If I were to agree with your broad sweeping generalization, how 
could I explain the fact that this collection of business people have 
cared enough to get involved?  How could I explain the support that 
business people demonstrated by participating in the education summit 
last March? How could I explain the dedication and interest of the 
business people that I interact with on our Chamber of Commerce 
Education Committee (Workforce Development subcommittee)?  I suppose 
it's all a clever ruse, perpetrated to dupe unsuspecting parents and 
gullable educators into thinking that there are people who actually 
give a damn...how silly of me to not recognize corporate America's 
insidious plot to undermine the US Educational system. ugh. 
 
No need to reply to this post, we appear to have differing perspectives 
on the sincerity of business people to take an interest in education. I 
am optimistic and believe, on the whole, people are good and do the 
"right things" (whatever they are).  You appear to take a more cynical 
approach towards business people. I am sure we are both justified to 
some degree in our respective opinions.  For the sake of generations of 
children to come, I only hope your perceptions miss the mark.
