"And re the education results-vs-funding matter"

An amusing story by my neighborhood Palestinian deli owner, whose kid goes to the same school as mine. He walks into the school and sees "a sea of desks for the administrators! In my country, we had one desk for the administrator and the rest of the building is for students and teachers !"

He hit that nail on the head. Without real leadership, the funding simply gets sucked up by administrative types, who are all whizzes at justifying themselves, rather than the value-creating teachers.

In one county of Sonoma, California, there are 41 school districts, each with their own supervisor, and a gorgeous multi-million building to house their meetings and support staff, in a county of 350,000. Similar-sized counties around the country have ONE district and a single supervisor.
