Fine. If these administrators are so knowledgeable about education and management, one would think they'd be snatched up by DC's booming edTech sector. If an MCPS teacher or principal wants to make more $$$, they shouldn't have to leave the classroom to do so. We should cap admin / central office staff at same pay levels as teachers and/or find a middle ground and pay top teachers more $$$. Right now it is a joke in MCPS. All the cushy jobs are in central office and even young teachers are fleeing the stress of the classroom to become bureaucrats. This is insane. Our kids are losing out.[/quote]

Answer this - In what profession are people slammed for wanting to climb?  If I'm a GS 12, why can't I apply for a supervisory position if I'm bored out of my mind?

Many people outgrow the classroom.  Yes, some people flee b/c the conditions under which they work are unbearable. But those who have been successful and happy deserve to expand their skill set.

I'm not saying that central office is a lean machine.  It's not.  However, there are still qualified folks in central office who are passionate about education.
