MICKEY KANTOR

The United States has the highest ratio of educational administrators and staff to actual teachers of any nation on Earth. Until the beginning of the 20th Century, the term “principal” meant “principal teacher”. One of the teachers of a school was chosen as the principle teacher and he or she would teach as well as supervise the other teachers. My the 21st Century, most principals had assistant principals, counselors, curriculum, security personnel and few of them ever teach students. Kantor’s suggestion was to have educational administrators also teach for some part of their time to increase the teacher student ratio and give administrators current actual classroom experience.

A self-contained market would be one in which a country only makes products that it sells within its borders, and only sells products that in makes in the country. Very primitive cultures were self-contained markets, but trading generally takes place whenever two cultures interact unless politicians artificially prevent it.

Most Americans are familiar with the many people whose jobs were lost to other countries where the wage rates were less. However, far fewer know about the jobs that are created by American exports. And fewer still realize that the wage rates of the jobs created by exports are far better paying than the average. Even though there is balancing of jobs, the burden has fallen very heavily on blue collar workers with poor educations whose jobs have gone overseas and who do not have the education, skills, or cultural background to fill most of the new jobs that are created by exports.
