Silicon Valley’s power couple Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are once again making headlines, but not for their groundbreaking tech innovations. This time, they’re tangled in a neighborhood kerfuffle involving a mysterious private school nestled within their sprawling Palo Alto compound.

The Compound Chronicles

Apparently, the Meta CEO and his wife have been quietly operating a K-4 school dubbed “BBS” (possibly named after a family chicken) on their property. City officials are raising eyebrows, questioning whether this is a legitimate home-school or just another rich tech couple bending residential rules.

Neighborhood Whispers

Neighbors are buzzing about the school, which reportedly serves Zuckerberg and Chan’s two school-age daughters and 12 other children. A local resident, Michael Kieschnick, suggests the couple curated a “diverse set of classmates” to prep their kids for elite boarding schools.

The Bigger Picture

This revelation comes on the heels of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s controversial decision to shut down The Primary School, a program serving underprivileged kids in East Palo Alto. Some are questioning whether this backyard school is just another example of the couple’s selective approach to education and community involvement.

While city officials claim the school will close by June 30th, skeptics wonder if the Zuckerberg-Chan compound will simply continue operating as usual behind its well-manicured walls. Just another day in the tech world’s most exclusive neighborhood, right?
