I know many people who would like to be rich, myself included, but most people don’t have specific plans for what they would do with the money.
With $5 billion, you could make a big impact. Here’s what I would do.
The Pitt School System
I would like to build schools in a completely different way from what we know today.
My Pitt-Schools would essentially be large playgrounds with integrated learning sections. Daily schedules would include movement, being in nature, meditation, and, of course, all the basics like mathematics, languages, history, financial management, geography, etc.
Classes would primarily take place outdoors when the weather permits it, but there would also be a playful building that looks more like Peter Pan’s Neverland than a typical school today.
We often complain that our kids struggle in school or have difficulty fitting in. I think we need to listen to our children and change the system. Drastically.
