    I think the point being made is this :- teachers find a job. Then they teach. They produce the product (knowledge) which is given to kids and teenagers.

    Kids and teenagers do not pay for this. They go to school (up to a given age) for free. And everyone seems happy with this point of view. Education is a right.

    And sure – teachers don’t have a fundamental right to a teaching job, but that isn’t the point. The point is kids have a fundamental right to the product the teachers make – knowledge.
