True...ish, methinks!
Though this statement is essentially true - when considering the fact that a teacher without calling can never be the 'discovery assistant' claimed by Van Doren - there may be more than meets the eyes here...
For this quip should never be interpreted (willfully) as a licence for denying teachers the means (i.e. decent paychecks) to make ends meet (i.e. of supporting their families and paying their bills)!
Beware, therefore, of the technocratic langue de bois, inferred by the catchy use of words, such as 'income' and 'outcome', that appears to condone the exploitation of teachers by ungrateful former pupils, who grew up to become corporate drones (with or without a human face!) seeing teachers as trainers of (de)human(ised) ‘resources’, rather than lifelong educators...
The above-said notwithstanding, you may find this useful...
