Sounds like you've been there and done that. You are correct. A few years ago I did go through the school board budget, pretty much line for line and developed a summary of where the money was going. Then I compared that to a few other places. The striking thing was how much of the money is going to things that are not really education related. In defense of the teachers themselves, I would say, they will not make any real money in the classroom compared to what they can make if they move downtown to the administration office. Now you end up with a teacher who we may have been better off keeping in the classroom, being a mediocre administrator but that is how the career path is structured. You can't get a serious administrative job without being a teacher. It is an entirely different skill set. Charter schools are starting to demonstrate the flaws in the way we run school systems, even though they are running with ankle weights. Good grief. You went through a local school board budget and proclaimed yourself an expert. Hehehe. And how many school board budgets have you analyzed, oh omniscient one? -- Quite a few when I worked for the NEA, oh, retarded one. |

UH Huh ... and you were not ****ed about how much money never trickled down to your teachers? I suppose you got yours and **** the percentage because the tax payers are an unlimited source of money. As long as the top line is 10 digits, there was plenty left over. |
