“Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don’t need little changes, we need gigantic, monumental changes. Schools should be palaces. Competition for the best teachers should be fierce; they should be making six figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge to it citizens, just like national defense.”

I hate how a 23 year old quote from the West Wing is still so relevant…

Next line that you left off speaks to that…still.

“That’s my position. We just haven’t figured out how to do it yet.”

That hits hard. Will we ever figure out how to do it here?

This might be the most memorable quote from the entire run of the West Wing for me. Our teachers are doing their job out of good will and our society is taking advantage of them because their value far outstrips what they are paid.

We’re several generations deep into a manufactured apathy meant to fragment and dilute any workers rights reforms

We stumbled into work from home due to the pandemic, but that genie will be put back in the bottle within 2 generations.

Robber barons never left, they just got smarter.

All of this is true,
instead of happening in schools for the advancement of knowledge,
it is happening in corporations for profits and egotistical power trips.
