The article tells me that employment is mostly about supply and demand. If almost anyone can qualify to enter a field (low entry standards) with the lowest preparation (low entry grades and scores)..and then almost anyone can easily complete the education requirements (low aptitude/education requirements), and there are no standards once working (teachers..tenure, etc)...Then the market is flooded with "qualified" people and there is no "culling" of inferior candidates/employees.. That effectively lowers the price "value" that their services demand. Subsequently any higer achievers who might have been attracted to the profession either decide otherwise before even starting school in that area (due to low wages/esteem) and most others achievers that actually attempt to work in the area are driven away by the liberal politics of the ignorant losers that remain or are rejected by the tenure system because they do not "fit in.".
