But Tim, the actions are not unjust; that's why you are demeaning yourself.

Even if the actions where just (and "soak the rich" isn't) it wouldn't demean myself to oppose the actions.

If you were really defending sound economics, you would be insuring that the poor get a fairer share of the pie.

Considering economic resources as a pie that should be sliced up and distributed by government is unsound economics.

"The idea that "resources could be used more efficiently" implies that "3 out of 4 teachers are incompetent" or the other ideas you falsely claim I assert or imply, is not just false, its ridiculous. Its not even a gross exaggeration of what I said, it essentially has no connection to what I said."

Okay, Tim, what does it imply to you?


Its a rather limited statement. It doesn't imply much of anything other than a lack of the maximum possible efficiency in the system as a whole.

Going beyond what is implied by that statement - I do think that if the system they worked in was different, many teachers would do a better job, but the system is as much a political decision as it is the result of the teachers' or even the administrators' actions.
