Administrator - a person who wants to make a lot of money, does not have any marketable knowledge or skills, and hates teaching.
Every administrator I have ever worked for has spent less than 10 years teaching in a classroom. One of them had precisely 0 hours of teaching experience before assuming control of a school. The average seems to be about three years.
No one can master the art of teaching in a scant three years. No one. Many claim they have, but they are liars. How do I know? Science tells me, that's how. Science is proving that it takes 10, 000 hours of practice to master any craft be it golf, jazz saxophone, teaching, or underwater basket weaving.
Why should being a master teacher be important to administrators? Oh, I don't know...Maybe because administrators are supposed to manage their teachers!!! Manage, as in direct, govern, or supervise. If you do not know what is supposed to be going on, tell me how, on God's green earth, are you direct and run it? You have no freakin' clue what has to happen, how is should happen, when or why it should happen. You are - in a word - clueless.
Being clueless, generally wise speaking, is A Very Bad Thing (TM). So, when I come to power, becoming a school principal would be very easy. There would be only two requirements #1: Have at least 10 years of classroom teaching experience. #2: Have spent at least 10 years running a business with at least 3 employees. Why #2? Well, that's another post.
