Hmmm.. What if these ex-IBM employees in training are nothing more than Big Blue missionaries? Infilitrating our school systems and spreading the IBM way. Anyone who does not follow the way of the Big Blue master will be destroyed!
Sorry.. I just can’t help to think that IBM is simply incapable of doing anything “good” without a motive for their own benefit. Do you really think these teachers are going to go teach Math and Science and say “Yes, go work for Sun or HP or AMD or whoever you want”? No, they will be saying “I am here today because IBM cares about you and wants you to come work for them. You owe it to them afterall.”

Well, I can understand your (Anonymous) point of view - but the truth of the matter is the number of math/science teachers is dwindling each year. The motive is indirectly for their own benefit since more engineers/scientists works in IBM’s favour. The students they (the ex-IBMers) teach are the future job-pool for IBM. But at the same time, it’s doing a good deed for everyone since EVERYONE can benefit from having more teachers, not just IBM.

IBM does many things “well” , no matter the motive. IBM is teaching Math and Science and saying .. “be all you can be” . .”make a difference in this world” .. and “Yes, you may apply here first” .. what’s wrong with that? Stop hating and start doing something constructive, like teaching you rmind to think positive thoughts and passing it on!
