The Bond folly

why not get all ethical ? I try to be as ethical and moral as I can. You should too.

Thats not what I mean, what I'm saying is you are questioning our values based on the way a sports athelete gets paid, as if it is somehow morally wrong because a teacher doesn't get paid millions. That doesn't mean society values the athelete more than the teacher, it just means an athlete has greater market value. They are worth more because of their rare talents. You are somehow confusing market value with moral values.

you and cawacko are trying to limit this to the what an athlete gets paid angle.
I am talking about what we consider more important. A sporting event, wide screen TV, big guzzler SUV, etc vs our childs education.

your minds are too narrow guys.

or are you just hitting that angle becuase you think you can win the argument by playing that angle vs encompassing what I am really saying ?

I consider it strange that we have no problem with a baseball player making milions but the teachers of our children make a modest living at best.
Where does that place our vaues ?

This is a direct quote usc, I'm not trying to limit anything. I am addressing this quote and saying that market value of a person does not represent what people value for their children morally. So because I take you literally, my mind is narrow? Geez man.... not so harsh!

From now on, I'll make sure to assume to know you aren't saying exactly what you mean.

I still stand beside that statement, and the others I have made concerning teachers salaries and lack of genuine concern by many parents about their childrens education.
Just because seperate different aspects of my views out on an issue into different posts means nothing.

You can't get an argument on that us, that's all based on a matter of oppinion on what is sufficient to be considered 'concerned'. Frankly, I agree with you that parents aren't as involved in a child's education as they should be. However, I don't think a teacher's salary reflects that concern at all because then you are just dealing with market value once again.

There are thousands of schools in Ohio, yet there is only one major basketball team, two major football teams, and two major baseball teams. There are about 25 students to one teacher, yet about a million fans per team. You see, that was a lousy comparison to what society morally values.

yeah but I knew personally of people in FL that would pay big bucks to go see the bucks play but whine over the cost text books in school.

Or buying a wide screen to watch the stupor bowl.

different perspectives on the same issue.
