I unfortunately don't live in Cleveland either. They are always quick
to fire or put restrictions on the teachers while never considering
cutting the pay of the administrators. Teachers don't make anywhere
near enough in the first place, and I believe some of the
administrators make six digits per year. This is absurd. You can get
pencil-pushers anywhere. They're not out on the "front lines" trying
to make sure our kids get taught. And if asked who is more expendable
I will say the administrators, twelve times out of ten.

Plus, I thought at one time that the school board members actually
might care about the kids. I gave up that opinion several years ago.
