When I look at the public school system here and the one in Canada I wonder why the US with it's very large population (and tax base) can't make it work.

No it odes not. It's not a like equation. If he did not donate to Catholic Schools, who's to say he would have donated to Public Schools?
Would donating money to Public Schools be money well spent? I think that's the more interesting questions. The public schools have plenty of money, they are mostly flushingit down the toilet for no reason. I used to live in LA Unified School District, the nation's richest (or second richest) public school district.For some reason, the district is extremely talented at losing money, throwung it away, flushing it down the toilet. Giving them more money would just ensure that the money will disappear in to a black hole or vacuum.
