lol We agree! *cheers*
You know, I've been thinking about health care too, and how it's such a vital, necessary service, and since education, IMO, is right beneath that in terms of necessity (right beneath it.... soooo close) I am flabbergasted by the disparity. How does the dissemination of education fall so drastically below medical care?
But... people go to school to be doctors and make bukoo bucks, and going to school to be a teacher ranks so much lower, financially speaking.
It's messed up. My thinking is that it's because education, grades K-12, is free. Whereas, right now, medical care is dependent on your ability to pay. I'm not happy with that, but I'm struggling here. Are doctors destined to be relegated to the level of teachers, if free medical care is enacted? Not good either. I'd much rather raise the level of teachers to that of doctors, than to lower the level of doctors to teachers.
This could be (even more of) a derail from the OP, and I apologize. It's just a connundrum for me, and I'm trying to figure it out.
