> I mean, last year BCC essentially added twenty full time teachers to the US just by preventing people with masters degrees from preparing for class by cutting construction paper with scissors and then writing on the construction paper with markers for more than an hour at a time.
I love the description and love your HN contributions as much as anyone, but that sounds just a wee bit inflated. I would think BCC purchasers more likely to use the hours saved as leisure rather than as additional professionally productive time. You also dismiss the possibility of these teachers finding another satisfactory program in BCC's hypothetical absence.
(Unless you've already factored out those factors before you arrive at the "20 full time" figure. Then please ignore me.)
