Teacher jobs
Nice to put some numbers to that which I am always complaining about. Paul Krugman, in “The Uneducated American”, about the United State’s continued trashing of the educational system:
Of those lost jobs, 29,000 were in state and local education, bringing the total losses in that category over the past five months to 143,000. That may not sound like much, but education is one of those areas that should, and normally does, keep growing even during a recession. Markets may be troubled, but that’s no reason to stop teaching our children. Yet that’s exactly what we’re doing.
There are few problems where the road to the solution has been built and all is in place… all that is required is money. Educational decline is just that sort of problem. Write the check for education — it’s an investment with an almost immeasurable return.
