I hope that Ms. Jobs will back alternative education such as homeschooling which has been shown to produce outstanding students. Contrary to the popular media's depiction, homeschoolers are not religious nuts. We teach science, education, advanced mathematics, computers, history, the arts and everything beyond what public or even private schools do. In our state about 10% of students are homeschooled and in our town the rate is even higher at 15%. homeschooled students consistently score higher, sweep the Bees and do better. Probably this is due to parental involvement. As a result the colleges vie for homeschoolers. Apple has long been a supporter of education and homeschoolers with their educational discount and other programs. I hope that Ms. Jobs will promote homeschooling too.
But home schooled kids can also be socially inept. I'm not saying yours are, just in general.
Proof that you never worked for nor knew Steven P. Jobs. They are very in-sync with their world views and that includes politics.
Put it this way, she's a progressive liberal and he's a liberal with a centrist business acumen.

Her son Reed goes there. Can anyone say conflict of interest much
The rich can get anything they want in this country
He has the grades and got in on his own merits. Can we say you know nothing about them? I thought so.

That's kind of the point of being rich...goes hand in hand with being beautiful.
Steve P. Jobs charitable record (if you can call it one) was ultimately self-serving.

Plus it took the Foxconn suicide spree for Jobs to become suddenly interest in social justice. There would have been no Investigations if it wasn't for the prodding of the media.
I'm not saying I can see a fire, but I certainly can smell the smoke.
shes hot...call me maybe
She is a beautiful and intelligent woman, who was also married to a world changing visionary. I imagine she is still morning Steve's death. With these ideas in mind I ask: What would she ever see in you?
So if I'm an illegal immigrant, it's easier for me to get into college? I guess my skin has to also reflect less light, too? But I have to make sure my skin isn't the same hue/brightness as Indians or Arabs...

Once free college education is handed out to illegal immigrants, that will be a serious message for others to come illegally. In fact, it would be better in some ways to immigrate illegally rather than legally. Also, I don't like the idea of tax money going to criminals. Free education to the poor is, ideally, a good investment, but they have to be honest and hardworking (and not join something like Occupy Santa Monica College).

No idea. Probably for more page hits. Lots of non-Apple news has made the front page here. For once I am on MacRumors side. MacRumors will do anything for page hits. I don't agree with their methods. But the end result is more page hits. And that's what every rumours site wants.
If people don't like this or can't handle it, there's no need to stay here.
I am ok with it. Despite their flaws MacRumors are still one of the best Apple rumours sites out there.
After which they usually violently repel. LOL
That's a very cynical view, imho. Even though I'm against illegal immigration, the children are usually an innocent party thereto. Also as the posters below have noted, educating those minors based upon their achievements would not only be the lesser of two evils, but might actually be beneficial to us in the long run.
Can we give her some credit for being a humanitarian?
What would be more beneficial would be to give all immigrants temporary work visas. They're humans -- they're ingenious. They will find ways into the country regardless of how many agents, fences, and security cameras installed. Not that I think those are bad -- they keep out some of the worse elements (narcos), at least by limiting painfully obvious transportation.
The point is, we have a large population of illegals. They aren't paying taxes (and getting free services). More come in every day. Deporting the current population is expensive and ineffective. Making grandiose structures is the same. Only three things need to be done: 1) temporary work visas that support family with an eventual route for citizenship if desired (with better turnaround than normal visas, but still requiring background check, renewals whatnot), 2) businesses and organizations have to have proof of citizenship for all it's members -- acceptance of someone who is not legally documented results in fines and restrictions, and 3) zero tolerance towards "heavy" crimes for those on the work visa (felonys) -- if convicted, deportation.
Under that system, anyone caught without proper documentation should be deported for illegal entry and tax evasion.
I wonder how much of Steve's fortune she got, how much was left for their kids, etc. I know it's all in a trust which means that you avoid the inheritance tax (my parents have their estate set up the samd way). Did he leave anything to charity or to apple or to stanford? Or just everything to his kids and wife? I know it's none of our business just wondered.
Laurene and Steve
I remember seeing a picture of Laurene and Steve after the iPhone 3G launch (this is a picture on a website). She just seemed so normal in his presence. She was holding an iPhone 3G White, looking at it as Steve seemed to explain some of the new features to her. Her expression was like, so this is what everybody is making a big deal about?
Later another picture showed her chatting on it and her expression was like she was saying to one of her girlfriends 'Steve launched one of his new 'i' things today'.
They seemed so in love in public and Steve seemed to be so humbled in her presence.

Unfortunately, competent home schooling is rare. I know for a fact that colleges have huge suspicions when a home-schooled kid applies. Of course some home teachers are great and the kids do very well. It is by no means a majority, sadly. The control freak parents simply ruin their kids' lives for their own reasons.

Or are kids who are socially inept more likely to be homeschooled? Chicken/egg cause/effect or as Randel puts it in Correlation.
I'm inclined to think that in the 60s and 7-s the type of parents that insisted on home schooling their kids would have caused "different" kids no matter where those kids went. There are also those parents that home school because their kids have a learning disability, and again would be "different" no matter how they received their education. I happen to stand among a large group of home schooled kids that started normal, and ended up normal. Easily 10% of the kids at the college I graduated from were home schooled. Quite amazing, actually. Turns out HS educational levels are not that hard to archive, if you are half way intelligent and can get your hands on the material.
Standford knows how to pick them well. She'll do fine. Then there are the girls that dumped Steve Jobs when he was a regular at Paul & Eddie's on De Anza back in the late 70's and early 80's. There are still cocktail waitresses that haven't changed their hair since '82 that still talk about him ordering drinks there before the Mac was launched.

That is the biggest urban legends against home schooled children promoted by teachers unions. Many non-union sponsored research has shown just the opposite. Home schooled children have more: 1) personal integrity, 2) higher ethics level, 3) less prone to mass suggest and propaganda, 4) less sexually promiscuous and teen pregnancy, 5) much, much less illegal drug use, 6) less sick days and most of all 7) biggest cause of public teachers union loss of retirement pensions.
Get the facts first dude!
