it's always a bummer to see pseudo intellectual libertarian garbage on HN. I'll just point out this line, starting off the third paragraph:
> Wages are not determined by years of schooling but by the supply and demand for skills.
Teachers are public sector employees. There is no market, so this is just untrue (yes yes private schools but this article is about public school teachers). Wages for teachers are determined by politicians that are elected by voters.
This is stupid fucking article trying to justify teachers not even being paid middle class wages and it shouldn't be on the front page.

- scarface74 8y agoWhether the article is biased or not, it is interesting enough to have a good conversation. It's very appropriate for HN.
- julesqs 8y agoThe sentence that I posted is false, not biased. There is a difference.
