Tim, Certain positions in society serve no short term value to the economy. Soldiers, policeman, firemen, teachers, spies, forest rangers, all come in that category. Yet it is essential that these positions be filled with qualified people. The free market has no mechanism for doing so. It requires conscious intervention by the citizenry to ensure those jobs get done. And obviously the job of teaching children is not getting done in this country. Scumbria
