You are confusing health with wealth ;-).

I am simply making the point that having a financial interest in
education, which a teacher does, has no relevance whatsoever to this
argument.

and I'm amazed that
you think you can make some kind of point by saying so.

I'm amazed you can be so narrow in your interpretation to ensure it fits
your own view of the world but then that's politics for you.

Interpretation of what? You are flitting randomly from one point to
another; whenever I answer anything you say you reply with some
non-sequitur and I am finding it very hard to ascertain what it is you
are trying to say.

To you perhaps, it seems perfectly rational to me. Again you don't appear
to be able to take an objective view of what is politics and what is
rational. That to me is more dangerous in an educator than business taking
an interest in education.

Here we go again. I have never said anything about business taking an
interest in education. My complaint was about business having the right
to a stake in education.

You seem to be an intelligent person, but this discussion is like
fighting the tendrils of a particularly nebulous fog.
