    It's not false equivalency. It's simply pointing out what society does and doesn't value based on what is willing to pay for it.https://twitter.com/ScottGreenfield/status/1130454688732733440 …

    False equivalency aside, what salary do teachers "deserve"? https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1129791583220588546 …

        At the worst level, i.e. how a Republican would see it, they should at least be paid what a babysitter is paid. Say $15 an hour per student? 30 student kindergarten class=$450 an hour.

        So since older teenagers don't need babysitters, High School teachers should work for free?

        It's still false equivalence. And extrapolating value based on false equivalency is foolhardy.

        Replying to @gorskon

        MLB revenues are $10 billion, while educational expenditures cost $1 trillion. However, MLB profits by having only the 1,200 or so best players compete. So it's a matter of supply and demand, not values.

        It’s also a scarcity of people who can do things that others value that drives salaries. Only a few people in the world can throw a 95 mph slider and have millions pay to watch them do it. If the Yankees could go to your local college and find people who could do that, they would

        If you pay for TV, you pay part of their salaries. Your subscription goes to providers, who pay carriers, who pay franchises, who pay players. More money is generated from TV revenue than any other single source.

        It is a bit of a false equivalency because there are only about 700 people capable of playing professional baseball in the MLB. There are millions capable of being teachers...hence the supply driven difference.

        Replying to @gorskon

        It's ignoring supply and demand, which sets all prices. Professional entertainment always has a tiny number of highly paid positions at the top, and mostly starvation below that. Movies, sports, music. All the same.

        I think the point is that society doesn't rationally assign value to the profession of teaching. Education is a pillar that holds up advanced society, rational spending would allocate lots of resources to it.
