[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5567328, member: 58386"] You don't like what you see in public education. Run for school board director. At least you would be trying to actually do something when it comes to what you see is a crisis in public education. And here's where you can start. I saw the results of a study done a few months ago. it showed that public school enrollment nationwide overall has grown by 14% However the overall size of the public school administrator headcount has grown by 79%. . Now a few weeks ago I sat in on a public school funding meeting. It was chaired by the usual public school superintendents, coordinators, administrators etc. Now like most rural areas where school enrollment has fallen significantly but administrative staffing continues to grow, I live in one of those districts that has experienced that growing disparity When the public comment part of the meeting came up I stood up and asked them this question: "How many tiers of management do you think you need to run a school district whose scale of operations have grown much smaller and likely to get even smaller. "? Having been challenged with a question regarding expanding headcount in a time of declining enrollment the answer was one of deflection and evasion trying desperately trying to avoid having to confront the fact that creating employment has become more important than providing services.
