Eric's House Of Ego

I would say we shouldn't have people trained as professional school administrators at all. Principals should be experienced teachers -- and they shouldn't get a raise for switching, it should strictly be a lateral career move. I see a big part of the reason we spend so much on public schools and get so little out is that we have so many administrators -- always higher paid than the people who actually matter, the teachers. If we got rid of 50% of the administrators who work in the school buildings and 90% of the ones who work in other offices, and used the money to raise teacher salaries, I bet we'd see a dramatic improvement in our schools.
