WTF money is not going to fix our public schools, we could spend a trillion bucks and nothing will change. |
Being fat at the top in education bureaucracies isnt unique to your part of the world. Most public school systems are full of fat cats. Basically "Too many chiefs & not enough Indians !!"
40 years ago a high school with 600 students would have 1 principal & 1 assistant principal. Not any more!! They have a team of people above the principal as well now.
The other issue is that teachers dont necessarily make good managers (principals) so we end up with 1/2 a dozen poor managers to do 1 job. They should all be still in the class rooms teaching.
