I am a public school advocate from MI where every single administrator in the state makes six figures as well as many gym teachers who don’t yet grasp the English language’s most basic homophones.
This is reality. I think public school admin has collectively failed our country as much if not more so than any profession.
I am a (recently) former school board member of my district in MI and personally reviewed the compensation packages for our staff.
Quit spreading bullshit.
Which district? I’m in Grand Rapids and can name TWO gym teachers from my first failing district who pulled six figures and struggled with the most basic homophones.
It’s not BS to say that admin makes six figures. Most all admin do.
Your very own OP said (and I'm on mobile with a shit app so I can't copy and paste, so I'm quoting from memory, but y'all can look up there for the actual words): "I'm a public education advocate from MI and all (emphasis mine) admin make 6 figures.
That part. That's a lie. You're now moving the goalposts and I'm calling you on your bullshit.
I'm not going to do myself as I've taken pains to remain anonymous after being doxxed and harassed on that other shit platform. Suffice it to say that I don't live in one of the most affluent school districts in Michigan (ahem; Rockford and what other ISD's around GR?). I live among the poorest.
I'm not disagreeing on gym teachers not knowing the basics of other subjects, but you keep going on your gish gallop.
