11 million people work in education and 4 million are teachers.... I think just throwing a dart to get rid of 2 million would be pretty safe to do.Don't disagree. I think any large organization struggles with this. My fear with some of the slashing which is taking place is the speed in which it is taking place. I am not sure if enough time is being spent on determining what positions aren't necessary and which ones are. Seems like a numbers game to me in the sense of being able to say we eliminated 20k positions.
