"Students are independent contractors that are "employed"
by you, the teacher. They earn a weekly salary, rent desks,
and later have the opportunity to purchase their desks (real
estate) and invest in the stock market. It is basically a

and corporations are free to engage in legal transactions.
The role of the government (you, the teacher) is to monitor
the economy and control the money supply." |
