Exactly.  Who was it said that those who do not want the job are more qualified
than those who do?  I believe that it applies to school administration as well
as politics.  In my more revolutionary moods I think that we (yes, you, me and
the rest of the public) should fire all the administrators unequivocally.  But
then a calmer mood will overtake me and I'll decide that giving every school
district in the nation three years to scale administration salaries down to
equal pay with the teachers would perhaps suffice.
