Billions would say that, "Teaching is not possible, at any grade level, without the doctoral degree: Unless it is believed that some kids are better than the other kids, and that all the other kids are not worth the extra effort." If only they knew(?)!
Famous Beverly Hills High School, in California, is famous for a heavily encumbered faculty of doctoral degree level staff. All other high schools are crud, by comparison.
At the more crud-level schools, even the little kids are apparently so-regarded. The staff use the job as a means to a pay-check. In Los Angles, even now, there are "educated" teachers, with no doctorates, asleep outside the schools in some nature of protest--at not being allowed to collect the paychecks any more, under budget cuts. These are budget cuts that they themselves created, clearly intentionally, (If in fact they are qualified for their jobs(?)), which is crud(?) !
Any incentive structure is like that. If you know more, then you get better jobs and pay. In fact, if everything you actually do sends everyone else into a perpetual state of ruin--You make millions!
That is not unlike school in America. University of California Senior Faculty are at millionaire-level incomes, $250,000.00 annually--like some nature of proprietary interest income, tied to a fixed percentage COLA, and tenured. State of California, caused by the senior faculty at University of California, is bankrupt. The cities are bankrupt. The counties are bankrupt. The School Districts are bankrupt. Everything that the senior University of California faculty actually do: Sends all the 32 millions of Californians into a perpetual state of ruin.
Therefore, anyone would say that they are smart! That is what the incentive structure is all about.
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Even while creating the more Tobacco Road motif at the White House playground, Fiat now being consulted regarding the placement of the Dodge: Still the Obamas are smart, and likely want to be thought smart. They sent the little kids to the D. C. colored schools, not even! Now Anyone has to guess that they kept the money, and are smart!)
