In a free market, how do you signal that you want a higher-quality product? Buehler? Buehler?
Frankly, given the top-down constraints, and the amazingly low budget, its pretty damn amazing they are doing so well.
I'm transitioning to teaching from programming on wall street. I expect my first year's salary as a teacher to be less than half of what my annual bonus was.
You can't solve every problem by throwing money at it---but you can't solve every problem by NOT throwing money at it either :-)

- rhelz 2y agoYeah, well, how come schools which get more money do better than schools who don't? The U.S. spends more money per patient than almost any other country too. 3x what Canada spends. I guess you would be a big fan of a Canadian-style health care system?
- VirusNewbie 2y ago>ow come schools which get more money do better than schools who don't? They don't, that's my whole point. California funnels more money to low income areas than it does to higher income areas. They have more financial resources.
