[quote=XBoxBoy]Worth noting, a VOSD article states that Collins is the second-highest paid K-12 public school educator in the state. For me, this incident drives home the fact that just because you pay your Big Boss (whether CEO or School Superintendent) big bucks doesn’t mean you get someone who will do a good job. Every time I hear someone say that CEO’s (or whatever title) needs to be paid that amount so that we can get someone capable, I can’t help but think that person doesn’t have a clue how the world really works.[/quote]
Sometimes the amount that people are paid is commensurate with their abilities. Sometimes it isn’t. The problem is that people don’t seem to be able to distinguish between a good applicant and a bad one. Or, they are forced to hire someone whose resume looks right even though they don’t seem like a fantastic candidate. The last principal at our local elementary was bad, and was quietly moved into a position where he didn’t have to deal with people.
