education economics, modern style... “Tracy’s itinerary today has the precision of a train schedule: English 101 at Mary Washington from 8 a.m. till 8:50 a.m. Office hours from 9 till 10 a.m. Another English class from 10 until 10:50 a.m. Back in the car by 11 a.m. Up I-95 to George Mason University. Another class from 12:30 p.m. till 1:20 p.m. Talk to students for a few minutes. Back in the car by 1:45 p.m. and race to Georgetown University. Grade papers and prepare for class while eating lunch. Class on Shakespeare and film from 3:15 p.m. to 4:05 p.m. Back in the car before the meter expires and head home. Then she grades more papers until midnight. Six hours later it all begins again. ....... “She once imagined she’d land a full-time job as soon as she graduated. Along the way, she did everything she could to improve her chances. She focused on the more marketable Anglo-Saxon rather than Irish medieval literature. She made women saints her specialty, an added bonus in a field that currently prizes all things female. She applied to 20 colleges for teaching jobs as graduation neared. They all rejected her. The next year she applied to seven more places. Seven more rejections. After a while, all the letters started to sound the same. They wrote about having to make difficult decisions. They wrote about how it wasn’t a reflection on her qualifications. But, in the end, they all said no.” [Washington Post, 21.07.02] |

UK government “25% less efficient than the private sector”.... Like blazes – 75% less efficient would be nearer. But let’s believe them – the UK government spend about £500
billion of British taxpayers’ money each year. Government is the problem, not the solution. [Observer, 14.07.02] “By the last year of the review, 2005-06, government spending will reach £511bn, another record. If the British public sector were a separate economy, it would be in the top ten of world economies, bigger than Spain or Canada. Around one fiftieth - or 2 per cent - of the globe’s annual income will be allocated for spending by the Chancellor tomorrow. This is more than the annual gross domestic product of the whole of Africa.” Observer, 14.07.02 |
