So with an M.A. you become an expert on education?
And me thinking that something like that would take a life time of continuous learning or something.
EDIT - And I taught five semesters of 8th grade Physical Science and one semester of 6th grade Earth Science in the inner city with students of poverty who had major behavior issues.

No, it can't be done. The rich need to be exterminated, not educated.
By the way, check the lectures given by Ken Robinson.

As an educator you give a terrible impression. You believe in cramming facts, denying creativity, showing favoritism, ignoring the importance of scientific and mathematical analysis as you taught math and physics...

I think re-education by expecting anyone who effectively lives off the interest of their money or investments, to be made to spend time in community service. I know some might argue that some of the very rich already front some of the largest charities and foundations, but you would have to argue that organizing a gala event attended by the gliteratti that ma ...[text shortened]... olunteer more of their time than what society requires of them.
You know it makes sense!
If the idle rich were to do the things that you propose by their own will that would be a great thing. But the rampant lack of empathy that you mention clearly is an issue.
