    A wealthy Silicon Valley investor caused a furor on Twitter Sunday after attempting to hire a teacher to create a "microschool" in his backyard.

    Jason Calacanis, an angel investor who reportedly has stock in Bay Area tech companies like Uber and Robinhood, posted the ad looking for "the best 4-6th grade teacher in Bay Area," and offered to pay them a salary "that will beat whatever they are getting paid" to teach a small group of children at his home.
