&gt;<i>And finally the author recommends to drop research and go back to teaching.</i><p>That struck me as pretty disingenuous too, considering how lightly he glossed over the real-world problem of &quot;labor as a cost of doing business&quot; mentality that has shifted teaching toward adjunct staff members. It&#x27;s almost like he doesn&#x27;t care those starting out in their career, who would likely become the next generation of great teachers at a reasonable price are pretty much being shoved into poverty from the get-go. No intelligent, worthwhile teacher&#x2F;professor can withstand that kind of lack of support all while being fed lines about how &quot;we have to cut costs&quot; like the examples mentioned.
