> ...tutoring doesn't work, because it isn't scalable... If you somehow RIF'ed 95% of the administrators, consultants, experts, ideologues, lobbyists, professional activists, etc. - most of whom earn more than any mere teacher - then there just might be enough money to try tutoring. My grandmother spent her teaching career as the sole teacher in a small town's one-room schoolhouse. She had 1st through 8th graders. And (with respect to her schoolhouse and students) the only other school district employee was the District Superintendent. Grandma's teaching qualifications amounted to a year or two at a little Normal School - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_school#Midwest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_school#Midwest Every year, one of grandma's "alumni" was the valedictorian at the local(-ish) high school.
