I was, alas, involved with a number of schools and colleges for a number of
years. One school system for which I worked had one high school, one jr high
school, and six elementary schools. Not a huge system. Yet it had more than
40 offices full of drones and their assistants and hanger-ons. Coordiantor of
this, administrator of that, supervisor of the other thing. At one time as a
political favor to an ousted fellow superintendent, the superintendent of that
system created the position of coordinator of foreign guest speakers complete
with two assistants and a secretary. In two years a total of three people
actually came to speak at the school, an exchange student from a nearby college
and two of the "coordinators" relatives.
Yet the schools sysytem patted itself on the back that it spent a mere 3% of
the budget for administrative costs. Say whaaaa? Yes indeed. The
superintendent and his secretary were 'administration' and everybody else,
coordinators, supervisors, facilitators by the score .... were all "instructional"
personnel. </HTML>
