   A "political economist" who has the knowledge, the time (no job) and the   
   income (outside sources) can hot house his child. He can indoctrinate his   
   child in such a way that the child passes an exam at the tender age of five.   
   This "political economist" can lambaste the school system and advocate home   
   education. The papers and TV stations love it.   
      
   Ordinary people, who don't have the benefit of a University education and   
   who have to work to pay their bills, have to send their children to school.   
      
   According to "banana's" general statement above, the "political economist"   
   plays a "pseudo-oppositional" role. He puts forward a criticism of a   
   "superficial aspect of the system". Home education is not an option for most   
   parents, it is a toy for a small group of relatively well off, well educated   
   people, who the system gives benefits that most don't have.   
      
   Dr N. C. Fernandez, also known as "banana", is according to his own   
   definition playing a pseudo-oppositional role.
