[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find none of this to be a problem?

I can’t believe an assistant head of school is only being paid 130[/quote]

The issue is the discrepancy between HOS pay and teacher pay, especially when the teachers do the most important work in the school.

[b]A school can survive without a ton of admin[/b]. It can’t survive without teachers. [/quote]

I think you are underestimating what it takes to run a school.  And that someone has to be in charge of hiring high quality teachers, creating an environment in which they will want to stay, and leading the way on what is covered in the classroom.[/quote]

I would say people’s rub is it seems like a large part of steadily climbing tuition is going to the HOS.  Meanwhile the Fairfax County Superintendent makes about $380k while overseeing 199 schools and centers from pre-K through12, student population of about 183,000 (including multiple languages and special needs, and economically disadvantaged students).  Not to mention 25,175 full-time employees and a budget of $3.5 billion.  Heck a HS principal makes only about $200k,at the very top end, and some of them have more students and staff than a private school.

The obvious solution would be to send your kids to FCPS, no?[/quote]
