Bill Gates knows the importance of education, even if he did drop out of Harvard University to start Microsoft. That’s why he’s promoting “Waiting for Superman,” Oscar-winner Davis Guggenheim’s new documentary on the sorry state of U.S. public schools.
Speaking at a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, where the movie was shown over the weekend, Gates said U.S. schools aren’t producing enough skilled workers for high-tech companies like Microsoft.
