Schools are an out of control expense that keeps sucking tax dollars and they're spending more on everything except the people who deserve it the most.

Now everybody needs 1:1 computer programs. But the administration for schools is a serious, usually unjustifiable racket.
Does anyone think a single person with a PhD in Education Administration can do much for a district? More than 3 or 4 good teachers can?
I'm skeptical. I've heard a lot of stories, though, and almost entirely from the teacher pov.
