This week I will be meeting with the principle of a nearby primary school to discuss donating one of my telescopes to the school, or to a teacher at the school. However, I must be getting old as I really wish to see future generations of students develop to their full potential. So I am thinking of also offering a $500 donation to the school, if they can put that to good use.

My question is: If You were offering such a donation, what would You like the school to use this money for?

I had a few thoughts on this. My earliest was books for the school libary, but talking with my school-aged, great nephews, they say that their libary (different school) has heaps of books. I thought of offering the money to assist disadvantaged students with fees for outings that they may not be able to afford. I also thought that perphaps the best investment may to assist the teachers develop their own libary with books that directly help teachers or report of sucessful teaching elsewhere.

I do not wish this thread to be political with people saying the Government should do this or that. I am just looking for suggestions on what I CAN DO!

Anybody that is or was a teacher, I will partically appreciate their advice, but nevertheless, all advice is appreciated. Even PM me if You do not wish to undergo the riggors of an open discussion.
