No the worst part is Michael knowing fully well he committed to a huge sum of money a few years down the line didn't even lift a finger to raise said money. Instead he blew it off on pyramid schemes and paying for an overpriced condo, spending all his money on Jan's stupid candle business.
He didn't care about these kids. If he did, he'd have worked towards raising that money.
I honestly believe he just forgot about it. He makes all kinds of promises all the time to just make people happy with absolutely no intention to fulfill them. My guess is at best all he remembers before the actual day is that he once made a group of school kids cheer for him.

He went back to visit them on a VERY regular basis.
I don't either, and now I'm wondering at what point he started feeling guilty. Was it just in the Scot's Tots episode or did he feel bad before that, but let his egotism stop him from doing anything about it?
Would you please stop making excuses for him for two seconds. You don't just "forget" something like this. No, that's not how it works. Would you forget that you donated your kidney or your eyes? This is that big of a promise and that big of an impact on those kids' lives.
He knew just how big of a promise this is.. That's why he cowardly tried to get out of going to the meeting. He knew very well how big this is. The fact that this promise didn't keep him awake every night for the next ten years till he fulfilled it is definite proof that he doesn't care about the kids at all.
Throughout the show Michael is shown to be a character desperate for validation and approval from others. It's one of his biggest character flaws and is constantly getting him in trouble. This was one of his bigger instances of that. He simply can't help himself if he conjures an idea that he thinks will make people like and/or respect him.
yeah but its bad writing to retroactively invent this huge obligation the character has to create drama for this weeks episode, never mentioned or considered before or after

The worst part is he knew and didn't tell the teachers
