C'mon man. Nobody can solve the problem of millions of babies, but at least James is helping mitigate a problem in Akron.TrustTheProcess said:
If you believe that James spent his money on this entire project, then I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell you.
Free, Free, Free - how is this teaching those kids anything about working hard for something when they have no skin in the game. Sure the parents are receiving some form on welfare benefits but still have the latest iPhone.
If James wanted to make an impact - help solve the issue with millions of black babies born each year without fathers and the countless millions aborted. That will have a generational impact for all versus just for a few.
I'm still looking for articles of the financing. Still not sure. It is a public school, not a charter or a private.TrustTheProcess said:

Why only the black players?TrustTheProcess said:
I get that. I didn't watch one minute myself as well. What drives me nuts is people automatically assuming he made this all happen and it's Free for all. What isn't mentioned is that the State of Ohio and the (bankrupt) city of Akron will at some point have to provide this free service.
If he really wants to lead - have all the black players of the NBA forgo a years salary and put that billion dollars? into programs that will impact more families.
My reaction might also be my frustration that Fox Sports hasn't been the alternative to those people sick of the ESPN James train media 24-7

It also raises questions about funding. Per the state of Ohio, Akron's schools were given just $10,028 in state and local funds per student in 2016 more than the statewide average, but still a relatively low figure for a city of a little under 200,000.
That's not a lot of money to operate a school with such grand aspirations, which is where the LeBron James Family Foundation comes in. James' nonprofit is the leader of a group of more than 120 donors, volunteers, and sponsors working to find the resources needed to keep exceptional educators on staff through a more demanding teaching schedule.
Since I Promise is a public school, that group also must have worked with Akron's local teachers' union to create a plan with which the coalition of teachers could agree. A quick look at the benefits available to those staffers shows the steps James and his cohort are making to attract and retain quality educators. From the Los Angeles Times' profile on the school:
Ten thousand dollars per student can't cover those services, but the buy-in from the LeBron James Family Foundation can. That will make I Promise a destination for ambitious teachers in 2018 and beyond.
Not that we needed confirmation but this sentence right here proves you can't speak on the subject objectively. You have a problem with Lebron as a person and it doesn't matter what he does to help the community, you'll just continue to raise the bar and minimize the good works.TrustTheProcess said:
