If there was as much money is education as there is in football, we would likely see:

1. Massive competitive among individuals for teaching positions, resulting in a much better pool from which to select teachers.

2. Much better selection criteria for picking teachers. (To put it another way, linebackers are evaluated and selected using a microscope. Teachers are evaluated and selected using a coke bottle.)

(My intent is not to denigrate teachers. I have been taught by many talented, noble teachers in my life).
