   " where the variety significantly offsets the variance in individual teachers" this isn't some kind of monte carlo teacher simulator

     @BroDrillard @petra they're trying to pretend that having a variety of teachers somehow means you fix quality issues.
     
     The problem is that there are a ton of selection effects into who becomes a teacher in the post-modern world, and none of them seem to be good.
     
     Secondly, it's a captured institution, which means the most insane progressive politics are orthodoxy, which pushes out people who don't view that as their motivating goal in life.
     
     There are about a half dozen other reasons there is no real "variety" and thus it isn't a monte carlo teacher simulator. The weaknesses you have in one are the same you'll have in all of them.

     @BroDrillard @sickburnbro It literally makes no sense. I know she thinks it's something an intelligent person would say but it's not. She doesn't really understand statistics.

     That's what I thought. But wondered if I somehow missed some profound wisdom...
