“Teachers work less than half of what normal 9-5’ers work. There’s no reason to believe throwing more money at them would make education better.”
Neville – this comment is not just demeaning but ignorant. If you would like to believe that your minimal exposure-relative to the actual amount of teacher’s out there – warrants such a definitive statement than you are not who you used to be. If you would like to narrow it down to the relatively miniscule group you have actually and objectively researched, then say so. No need to degrade an entire population of teachers.
