255k a year and we wonder why our system is so screwed up? That’s not even counting benefits!!!
School curriculum is antiquated and kids graduate not knowing the simplest things in navigating adulthood. They are taught to pass tests only to make the schools and district look good on paper.
And for that we are paying admin 255k plus benefits? We are so foolish and sooooo gullible.
