We Need an Education Bill of Rights

To stop corruption, you must eliminate the Top-Down Bureaucracy by removing the “pigs”.

Then, when you look inside the trough, you’ll see at the bottom are the schools, where Teacher’s pay has disproportionally stagnated, while school budgets for administration has skyrocketed with more non-instructional personnel than teachers. Here’s data from 2000 – 2017.

Staff employment, by type of assignment, shows that School Districts enjoyed a 74.9% increase; School Principals and Assistant Principals grew by 33.4%; and, Teachers had a meager 7.7% increase. Enrollments were almost flat at 1.9%. The total increase during that period was 116%, with Teachers accounting for less than 0.07%.

The good teachers have had enough! They’re tired of the woke culture; unfair compensation; unions; bureaucrats, and Marxist. Nearly 50% are looking for other employment; retiring; working part time; or, quitting and staying home.

The growing teacher shortage is a public school scandal and crisis.
