"Financial basics" teacher

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

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

A philosophy teacher that can actually inspire his/her students to care about philosophy and to avoid nietsche/rousseau/marx/hegel etc.

Rousseau?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

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

The answer is obvious.

The world needs more lawyers.  :cool:

Can you imagine a world without lawyers?

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

My PE teachers were all phalangists.
Mine were all butch lesbians.

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.

So which would make the world or you country/community better off,  if it had one more history or one more mathematics teacher in it's state schools ? 
there's already a lot of unemployed historians.  It's not a question of usefulness, it's a question of numbers.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.
