Medicare Kills a Program


In my experience, public school teachers in the classroom often complain a lot about all the spending on management (though many try also to capture those plum positions for themselves, too.) Yet despite arguing that all that management is inefficient, most seem to continue to oppose attempts to introduce competition. It seems to me that if they're correct, then competition would reduce management. Perhaps they don't have the courage of their convictions.
An awful lot of teachers eventually go into some kind of educational management job where they sit down most of the day and only have to deal with other grown-ups in child-free offices. Being on your feet dealing with other people's children sounds good for awhile, but it gets old. And there's no promotion possibilities if you stay in the classroom.
