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.

Agree fundamentally, would argue that shit teacher pay preceded digital learning explosion. Fundamentally, the public schooling system model in America was built to fail. Just took a decade or two for innovation to fill gaps. This argument does apply to rising college costs tho.

Low prices for labor directly correlate to the demand for your job. That’s why McDonald’s employees are screaming for higher wages, and Ronald McDonald is going to replace them with giant touchscreens instead.pic.twitter.com/gBUjgOKooz

Agree entirely, this is why its so tricky. We (markets) haven't found an optimal solution with scale to educating young persons. Semi-referencing Ari's points, the system is built to be socialized and offset from market forces. Problem is, it wasn't socialized enough.

So we took fair market forces out of the equation, and subsidized them with a short sighted socialized economic model. Either the government isn't doing enough for education, or it should pivot direction and do dramatically less whilst reopening fair market doors.

But then who will brainwash the kids for them? Who will teach the kids how to be docile debt slaves to the state? Who will create the reality distortion field of American Exceptionalism and encourage them to join the military and murder brown people with robots from the sky?

Or join the algorithmic world $FB is crafting.
Or maybe some asshole figured this out 5 years earlier and will disrupt the whole perceivable time horizon with a paradigm changing reorganization order? @desantis? @deosorg
