well now

the apples did not fall very far from the tree which seeded them now did it?

LeBron isn't exactly real bright himself in academics.

He was smart enough to take his talents in basketball and turn that into a fortune.. As for being able to do rudimentary mathematics, English grammar, Pass History exams like American History, History of Europe, Western Civilization, High School chemistry, 2nd year algebra or trigonometry, forget it..

So those kids were used for a photo op for LeBron trying to convince people what a great person he is..

I do not like LeBron James even a tiny bit and never have. It's his attitude. The great news for him is that he turned one thing he was good at into millions upon millions of dollars. If he was counting on his brains for his living, he would have starved to death..

When LeBron James dropped into Akron with great fanfare and media coverage in 2018, promising to fund a new sort of school to help educate young people in his hometown, many hailed him as just the savior the city needed. But did James’ “I Promise” school fulfill its promises? Test scores are showing that it hasn’t.

Now, even Akron school board members are beginning to question James’ commitment to actual education and wondering if it was more about burnishing his reputation as a philanthropist than a serious effort to reform and reinvigorate education.

Last week, members of the Akron school board began taking a closer look at James’ so-called I Promise school and found that real academic achievements are few and far between.

The state of Ohio also found problems. ...
