In Oprah gives $1 million to Denver School of Science & Technology by Jeremy P. Meyer, Oprah gave one million bucks to DSST (the charter school, Denver School of Science and Technology) because she thinks it is an important charter school since it has a waiting list of 500 students. This is important to me because charter schools have the ability to change the face of education by exploring new ways of reaching kids with lots of different ways of learning. I have a different way of learning, since I am more inclined to learn through visual stimulation and through things that interest me, rather than the standard "do this, and get a grade according to the amount of time you've spent on it" instead of thinking outside the box, as a charter school would promote. It matters to education, because our schools need to try to teach to everyone, not just the ones that are easy to teach because they do everything a teacher says is important. It matters to the world because we keep having wars, and we don't try to understand different opinions and lifestyles and ways of thinking, and this type of education will maybe be  a way for people to be interested in new things. SO, it is important that charter schools get the money they need so we can get closer and closer to world peace.
