Teach for America has a series of global offshoots known as Teach for All, the Friedster breathlessly reports ("I never thought I’d have to come to China for a breath of fresh air." Get it, urban air pollution? Get it?) from "the China-Myanmar border area."
He "could not help but remark to Wendy Kopp, the founder of Teach for America and C.E.O. of Teach for All, that Teach for All is 'the anti-Al Qaeda.'" You see, "since 9/11, I’ve spent so much time writing about people who are breaking things and so little time covering people who are making things."
The day that changed everything, indeed. I'm sure the Teach for Peru participants he mentions have a similar take on things, just opposing Al Qaeda in Peru at every turn, trying to perpetrate the anti-9/11.
"Which is why, concludes Kopp, investing in smart schools and kids pays so many more dividends than smart bombs."
It's pretty easy to get confused, what with the word 'smart' being in both, but stocks that pay dividends tend to grow in value, making them superior to other investment options, such as Al Qaeda, as well as air pollution in China.
