I think he meant 50% fewer teachers leads to a doubled workload for the 
remaining teachers.

Although if you ask me, most students in school these days *aren't* getting 
an education anyway, what with incompetent/uninterested/tenured teachers and 
students that are in college for no reason other than get drunk and kiss 
enough ass to get the utterly meaningless piece of paper that they're told 
by the all the mindless zombies they should have.

"If you want an education, get a library card." Schools are for drunks with 
rich parents.
