Hopefully you&#x27;re not the only one, as I share your reluctance to embrace it as the &quot;go-to&quot; model of social constructiveness. There&#x27;s a lot of good that comes from people &quot;giving back&quot; in one form or another, be it financial, skilled labor, or just simple time and attention when possible. I think it&#x27;s admirable to want to change &quot;institutions&quot; like education for the better - I&#x27;ve been an advocate for &#x27;progress&#x27; ever since I saw some of the challenges back in my own youth - but I can&#x27;t help but think of such experiments as pet projects. Those can be productive, sure, but do I believe, deep down, that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is going to have the answer to the variety of problems that plague Chicago&#x27;s South Side, New Orleans, or any number of troubled communities? Sigh, might just be me.
