To help prepare for their charitable work in education, Zuckerberg and Chan decided they needed hands-on experience. Chan has taught 4th and 5th grade science at a local private school and Zuckerberg has run an after-school program on entrepreneurship.
“We talked about the education work that we wanted to do and she made this point to me that I wasn’t going be one of those people who (try to help by giving) money to places but had never taught anything myself,” Zuckerberg said. He didn’t think he’d have time to teach while running Facebook, but Chan set it all up. He says, “it actually ended up being awesome.” He still meets with the students regularly.
All the talk of children leads to talk of kids of their own.
“Well one day, but right now.” Chan said.
“That’s a yes,” Zuckerberg cut in, laughter all around.
“Yes, but, we are a little preoccupied with other people’s children right now,” added Chan.
