Paying teachers @ $3/hr like a babysitter would give them salaries of $105,000/year.

8. No, I'm not

I understand that it's an entirely idiotic proposition in every sense. The point I'm making is that we need to be better than resorting to idiotic retorts. The claim that teachers are just babysitters is utterly nonsensical on it's face and requires very little effort to entirely disprove. My point is that we should not need to resort to faux math in the hopes of tricking lesser minds to think they have made a logical inconsistency. We should be able to prove that outright. Again, I'm not arguing with the conclusion, but I don't accept a false proof to show it.

Republicans' stupidity does not excuse our being disingenuous. We are better than that!
