I’m all for people improving their living standards - but some here think people can’t do it on their own.
If my kid only gets D’s in tests do I teach him or do I just give her B’s

Yes, and that benefit comes from the increased skills of labor
Why not help other to catch better fish for themselves ?
- AstralStorm 5y agoAnd would you get properly paid for doing so? Currently teachers of this kind are one of the seriously underpaid professions for how hard and how much education and practice this job requires. This approach also does not work for quite a chunk of people with physical or mental issues. And for social exclusion - if your kid gets D's because they never got to lessons, isn't that better solved otherwise?
