38. I'll complain anytime I want to

about anything I choose to voice my opinion. If all comments are limited to our occupations the world is going to be a drab, boring, stupid place.

Nice that he has a good job. Responsibilities go with the territory.

My point being that schools could be run with adminstration-lite because of the unnecessary duties.
What does it really take to put competent teachers in the classroom every day? 3 adminstrators, a staff,
a full time principal in every school? Meetings 7 days a week? Junkets, conferences out of town?
This is overhead bloat. Many or most corporations shrunk their white collar ranks in the 1990s and 2000's by pushing duties onto employees who did the work every day. This lessened overhead and expenses and increased profits. No such movement at the administrative levels of public schools. They just increase taxes to pay for it all.

At old-time private schools, not charters, many a headmaster teaches. And runs a right ship. It's just like colleges. Teaching is increasingly an itinerant, part-time, no-tenured position. The headline faculty you see at the front of the 600 student lecture hall. The administration is well taken care of for life. Tenured faculty are a dying breed.
