teachers: not what they used to be

[Christopher Rhoades Dÿkema]

In this context an historical comparison is useful.. In the nineteenth
century both France and Germany (under Prussian leadership) decided that
national development depended on developing an educated populace. In
quite different ways, since they were very different countries, they put
major resources into paying for teachers and establishing high quality
training for them. France is the more democratic example, especially
because education was seen as a way to counter reactionary clerical
cultural hegemony. The results were solid, and persist.
