Sounds like all of the public school teachers and administrators in the US 
need to quit and join Teachers, Inc. Once that company has made a profit it 
can influence elected officials via PACs into increasing pay for teachers, 
and then they can quit and go back to being lowly peons for now 
slightly-better-than slave wages.

Another tangent, though: Kristin, you don't seem to trust corporations and 
you don't seem to trust governments. Anybody or any thing you do trust? Any 
social institutions you place any faith in?

(As I said, I don't. I don't think humans are capable of organizing 
themselves effectively around really large tasks. Which is why I generally 
go for the least complicated approach and decentalize everything. At least 
things are more direct.)
