That doesn't mean that most English teachers teach philosophy though.

... obviously. What it does mean is that hiring them can work in both factions, as they can teach English as well as Philosophy :)

Yes, but I don't understand how that would make finding the teachers any easier.

From what I understand, it would mean that once they hire the philosophy teacher, they would be more useful to the school.

I really wanted to do Philosophy but my school didn't offer it :(

Or that they should. Most English teachers make pretty bad Philosophy teachers, just putting it out there lol

It's like saying many Physics teachers also teach Maths, but the opposite isn't true, most Maths teachers in fact do not teach Physics - hence it would be wise to employ a Physics teacher - as they can do two things (Maths + Physics), but they're harder to find than Maths teachers

Relating this to the argument, Philosophy teachers are more versatile - so they are preferable - but it's still irrelevant to the fact that they are hard to find :P
