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.
Worthless question. Doesn't matter which one, as long as they are good and inspiring.
: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...
The answer is obvious.
The world needs more lawyers. :cool:

What the world needs now

No not just for some,
But for everyone....

Rousseau?
Voted Don't know, because I was hoping for more interesting poll choices, like flying cars, robot butlers, and so on, etc, et al.

I think it would definitely be worthwhile to train more individuals to be management consultants.
A teacher who can inspire more kids to study math/sciences. That could be either one.

there's already a lot of unemployed historians. It's not a question of usefulness, it's a question of numbers.

I think we need more MBAs. For target practice.

Adding one more (or subtratcing one) of either wouldn't make a damn bit of difference in the overall scheme of things.
