Enough about remedial support for those in the banking industry, my question was about teaching in state schools.

English teachers.  None of these motherfuckers can read, write or spell.

Maths. Duh.
A maths teacher is a skilled guy.
A history teacher is a guy who read a lot.

Yeah, but I can't do that. And arguably neither of the other two, to a lesser extent.  :P

A philosophy teacher that can actually inspire his/her students to care about philosophy and to avoid nietsche/rousseau/marx/hegel etc.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Worthless question. Doesn't matter which one, as long as they are good and inspiring.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

 :hmm:

I'd figure the world is better off with a history teacher, but one's own country is better off with a mathematics teacher.

He said 'teacher', so I'm sure that both choices are leftist.

And I'm guessing history teachers tend to trend a bit more Tea Party...
