Does he purposefully try to stand like Mr Burns? I kept waiting for an "Excellent Smithers"

Great talk though!

I really enjoyed that talk, great to see somebody so incredibly rich seem to give a damn about things that really matter in the world.

Fuck Maleria, fix baldness!!

I really relate to the issues with teachers, in all my years of schooling from teenage years I only ever had one good teacher that I respected, the rest were fucking stupid useless idiots, full credit to you Bill for addressing this major social issue. a*&(*$@$@&$^*^%&$*&^ - WTF windows crashed again.

I found it very interesting about his part on education. There is no cookie cutter teaching strategy. So many people learn in different ways and you have to incorporate those into your classes. Then you have the different attitudes of people to factor in; those who don`t want to be there, those who aren`t challenged enough by the material, and so on and so forth. I think being a teacher is a HUGE responsibility and a damn hard job and we`ve all had those teachers where you think "why in the hell is he here?! he doesn`t even look like he likes his job", and that has a huge impact on how pupils develop in the educational system.
