It is amazing that teachers are let go in the scale of
thousands while there is not ONE principal or assistance
principal or dean that is being cut?
So let's see. If a principal used to oversee 30 teachers,
and now she oversees 22. Yet those teachers use to see 25
students in class, now they will see 35, if they are lucky
enough to keep their jobs.
Why wouldn't the principals like to get rid of teachers?
Less complaints, less to manage, same salary, as if a
raise, in this economy. And they are lumped together as
part of the education system that suffers tremendously from
the budget cut.
What is wrong with this picture? Those administrators are
enjoying raises in this economy. Teachers get more students
in order to keep their jobs. Principlas get less teachers,
and principals still have the same everything else. That
means, in this economy, some people benefitted.
You see teachers holding signs before school to cry for
help? A typical sign says SOS (save our schools), did you
see any principals participating? Did you see them bringing
donuts or coffee for those teachers? Why are these
TEACHERS' schools but not the administrators' schools? Is
that because so far the administrators have not suffered a
tiny bit, but enjoyed a tremendous power trip to get rid
people they dislike?
When are the administrators going to share the sacrifice?
Administrators never will. They will protect themselves first and foremost.
THAT is the dirty secret in public education.
