Lebron definitely seems like a smart guy. In fact, when I watched the ESPN special about his school the other day, I thought to myself that he seems way more intelligent than many other athletes, as most of them were able to skate through life on their performance on the court/field.

With all of that said, "his school" is actually just a public school that LeBron's foundation helped fund. I would much rather have seen his foundation create a private school, so that it can be managed by competent people and remain a good program years from now. As it stands, the Akron public school system will turn into just another Akron public school in short order. To be fair, I know nothing specifically about Akron schools. I'm just extrapolating out what I know about the average American public school, and assuming that Akron's schools leave just as much to be desired.

Oh yeah he should definitely make it a private school so it only benefits a handful of rich douche bags instead of the community as a whole. The American education system is definitely flawed but making it elitist and only beneficial to those wealthy enough to pay for a good education only benefits those already on top.

You seem to have some difficult with terms.

Private =/= paid

Public =/= free

You can make a private school and decide to not charge any tuition. And still all public school are paid through taxes.
