Quotation of the Day

(Hello again, it has been awhile, hasn't it? I guess I needed a break. I thank you for loyally checking in from time to time.)

In Jennifer Rubin's blog posting today in the Washington Post we read the following in the comments:

When educational requirements are included in the stats, it's clear that public employees are paid less than those in the private sector with equivalent educations.

To which this lovely response:

You are confusing education with credentalism. Education is a lifelong process, and a BS or MS in Education is essentially meaningless. How about comparing the total compensation of teachers to their real peer group -- the other college applicants with SATs in the 400-500 range?

Cruel, perhaps, but sometimes we must be cruel to be kind.
