    Just because its obvious doesn’t mean its not also bullshit.

    Education is the single most important thing affecting a societies longevity and well-being. If the people responsible for that education aren’t able to support themselves, it erodes the very foundation of the country.

    Whether or not it affects the bottom line of an investment firm may be an important metric to you but it doesn’t necessarily mean what’s best for everyone.

      I didn’t say it’s what’s most important to me, I’m just following the money.

        Thats what most capitalists do, and is how we got into this mess in the first place.

        Maybe stop looking at what makes the greatest fiscal value and you might start seeing why people are complaining about.

          I get why people complain about it. I’m explaining it for people who complain who don’t understand why things are the way they are.

          I agree that teachers are underpaid. You can stop acting like we’re enemies on this. Not everything has to be an argument.
