K., don't let this devil's advocate thing get outta hand ;-)
Patrick Ewing is/was a good basketball player. do you think he's stuck around all this time just cause he wants to get paid. No. I would say that there are folk in that industry that do it because they love the game. So they are paid - quite well - to do something that they love to do. Why can't it be that way for ppl who teach? And by the way, the non-Patrick Ewings sit on the bench.

>Aren't we better off by paying our teachers low wages so that we only attract those
>who truly want to do it?

Again, my answer is Hell no. c Patrick Ewing anaology.

>son of a teacher, playing devil's advocate
