That's what you take issue with? That the analogy isn't completely perfect? Do you get the general idea of what I'm saying, or does that slight inconsistency complete negate the entire argument?
The point is that an average isn't indicative of overall health... it's just a value representing the average income. It makes no bearing on actual economic health without comparing it to other factors.
The irony of not having a basic understanding of averages while talking about education.
Actually, you not understanding how averages work and then getting defensive when people corrected you is a pretty good argument for why we need to pay teachers more. Touché.
No, it wasn’t about perfection. It was about you being wrong.
It’s ok to just reflect and try to do better next time instead of dig in and defend a mistake. It’s how we grow.
