and what results could be expected.
For example, the things that affect general attainment at
school could be teacher-pupil ratio, class discipline,
a form of discipline which ensures maximum attendance,
School morale/leadership, amongst many other details.
Important things which may be impossible to alter are
average socio-economic levels in classes, and overall at schools.
At such times there is always a hard look at the quality of
teaching, too. Whith the usual expected academic attainment,
and teaching specific courses, it's the general morale and leadership
which must be reponsible, rather than individual teachers.
Picking bright pupils from ghettoes makes news headlines but
never aims to alter the status quo. If too many are chosen, then
you can expect parents of those whose places they take, to use
their connections to end it.
Best of luck to George.

Will George still have enough cash to buy groceries?
Actually it's not all quite as selfless as you might think. Avoids a
lot of taxes. You put it in a foundation, then the foundation pays
you a management/consulting fee (so you can buy groceries, and houses,
and private jets), pays your kids and friends and neighbors consulting
fees - the money in the foundation still buys stocks and bonds but now
the profits are all tax-free. Nice, huh.
This is instead of paying taxes, where the money might help with
schools and stuff in the normal matter. Instead, working folks pay
with their taxes, cuz they don't have private foundations to hide
their money in.

Somewhere between 10% and 50%.
There might also be some debts to be paid off, and half the
compensation is stock not cash so it's an exchange and not a gain,
yada yada.
But as a foundation it goes on like that every year, it's not even a
one-time thing.
It's not quite as sleazy as putting it all in the Cayman Islands, but
it's the next thing over. If you have big money, you are going to be
doing one or the other or something like it.

Notice on that signatory list at the end, people promising to give 50%
of their income to charity on their death, they are mostly Anglos,
some Jews and NO OTHERS? Typical. I was at a kind of forest park in
Toronto. There is a bronze plaque on the wall in a building there
showing donors to the site. ALL Anglos and Jews despite the fact 70%
of the people who use the park are Orientals. No surprise. 3rd
F------- worlders do not believe in charity.

He could give people a rebate, but then how do you keep out those few
people who didn't see any of his films?
He could issue furture movies at a cheaper price, but that would cut into
profits, so he'd have less to give away in the future.

LucasFilm have also made two animated TV shows based during the Clone
Wars, one of which is still going on the Cartoon Network (although will
probably move to a Disney channel next season).
Then there's the two Ewoks movies, which in some countries were cinema
releases, but in others they were tele-movie releases. Plus the
"It-that-shall-never-be-named". :-)
Outside of Star Wars, there was also the Young Indiana Jones series, while
ILM and Skywalker Sound (which have also been sold to Disney) have helped
in many different movies and TV shows.
BUT, technically I guess none of this counts as on topic in
rec.arts.movies.current-films ... yet.

LucasFilm have also made two animated TV shows based during the Clone
Wars, one of which is still going on the Cartoon Network (although will
probably move to a Disney channel next season).
Then there's the two Ewoks movies, which in some countries were cinema
releases, but in others they were tele-movie releases. Plus the
"It-that-shall-never-be-named". :-)
Outside of Star Wars, there was also the Young Indiana Jones series, while
ILM and Skywalker Sound (which have also been sold to Disney) have helped
in many different movies and TV shows.
BUT, technically I guess none of this counts as on topic in
rec.arts.movies.current-films ... yet.

- Lucas*film*, applies to both current and past.
- Clone Wars is currently on Cartoon Network, soon to move to Disney
XD.
So, anything but off-topic.

I do no such thing, but they would be on-topic.

work on your reading comprehension skills so you don't make any more
ignorant statements in the future.
