Question "Teams" or "School House"

Current active guys might know the background here.

Given the power and authority to make the decision:

If you had to choose between manning the operational SFODAs, or manning the "school house" with experienced instructors whom have had "team time" so they can produce more members for an ODA, which option would you implement?

Now, the rules are that you can't have it both ways. You have a limited pool to choose from (current active SFODA members) and any transfer of personnel from there will ultimately leave the teams with less men. Take into account that it is not a one-for-one swap. It will take time for the "school house" to turn out enough trained SF soldiers to make the shortfall. It is a choice between short term and long term goals and vision.

Now, I have my own opinion and it is biased since I'm on an ODA. But, which would you choose and why?
