    Hey, fellow educator, I see you. I know that you and everyone in your school are doing your best to work within the constraints that have been dictated by your state legislature. Keep doing what you can to support your students, and don’t forget to take care of yourself in the process.

      Thank you, but this is praise I do not deserve! I’ve tried my hand at teaching, but now I support the teachers and schools so that they can take care of the kids. I’ll help the kids where I can, but I’ve discovered that teachers are dangerously disturbed individuals. How else could they do what they do, put up with what they put up with, work so many hours, all for so little pay?

      Teachers are some of the greatest people I know, but I treat all of them like unexploded ordinances. Like I tell all my coworkers, “When I’m superintendent, no campus administrator will make less than 6 figures, and new teacher pay will begin at $90K. I want teachers who fight for their opportunities, not for their meals.”

        Well, let me know when that happens. It sounds like the kind of district management I could really get behind.
