And teacher pay is low because the teaching is substandard. It’s a Catch 22 that really amounts to the public school industry having low market value in a world where Youtube, Kahn Academy, and Wikipedia exist at the tips of everyone’s fingers.

In the current climate, a hard pivot to true fair market hands off approach would be a disaster for the next generation, because the culture is acclimated to expectations.

The government won’t choose a hard pivot. The choice will be made for them as they grow broke and are forced to spend less on education. The parents and kids who rise up in that environment will be the ones who decide the future of education, cheap and digital.

Agree, and have little/no fear for my kids, yours, or those who I cherish in my collective tribe. I also grew up around a lot of dirt poor rednecks, and my fair share of post-gentrified urban families. The market forced solution will WORK, but it may also be a great filtering.

Definitely a filter. Mistakes will have consequences again. “The code of competence is the only system of morality that is on a gold standard.” Rand

As sound theorist, which I believe we both are, to what extent is loss tolerable in a great filter scenario? 1% loss? 10? 25? 50? I have not reconciled my views here, am not sure where I stand. Self preservation, I'm sure I'll be .01% & fine. I worry for my peers.

This isn’t a decision that is up to us to make. This is a decision that Mother Nature will make using the processes of the market (a natural force comprised of all human interactions with each other and their environment).
