goodness gracious. each phrase following “without them” was a phrase describing a growth scenario of something that already exists:
“would be even more overpopulated”
“would skyrocket”
“wealth gap” -> “wealth chasm”
…implying that with the status quo the consequences listed would still be occurring, but stating that without teachers it would be worse. please. ohmygosh.
without teachers reading comprehension would dive out of control but it’s already pretty bad. 😪😪😪
