problem with education is in plain sight!

I had an opportunity to speak with some people who really have some strong feelings on education.

We did 2 hours last night on Nightline and it really got me thinking.

I think the problem with our schools, with few exceptions, is the fact that we take our best teachers and promote them to administration.

So we take a person who inspirtes in the classroom and expect them to work magic in a different setting that they have no experience in!

Why would a great teacher be a great administrator?

Your Mum is a great cook right?

But would she be great at running a restaurant?

Probably not, and she doesn’t.

So why do we expect teachers to be great administrators?
