One of the videos of Charlie I watched recently had him pointing some things out to a very clueless self-proclaimed podcaster (who for some reason picked education as his topic despite being wildly ignorant on the subject). One thing Charlie said was that we have 11 million people working in "education" in the US, but fewer than 4 million are teachers. And education scores have been dropping for decades as these bureaucrats, administrators and various other filler have grown and grown.

So as far as I'm concerned, that's 7 million useless eaters right there that can be freed up for service in the fields. And I will fully expect education test scores to start rising in the aftermath. I mean, if the kids are being forced to sit through drag queen presentations and brainwashing sessions about their gender, the teachers might have nothing better to do than teach them to read and do math.

For example, at Ohio State, there are 5014 full time faculty and 29,446 administrators, support staff, and non-teaching employees. The problem seems to be worst at public universities as many of the new administrators are on staff to oversee the grant proposals and money and have nothing to do with educating students.
