[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The HOS is a fundraising job and it’s not easy. Teachers are definitely underpaid but they don’t have to solicit people to raise millions of dollars every single year. If a HoS doesn’t raise money, the school can’t operate and goes out of business. A lot of the schools ability to raise money is based on happy parents and happy alumni. I promise you have no idea how hard the job is and how much it is dependent on achieving clearly defined results. You can’t BS your way through the job. [/quote]
No one is saying it's not a hard job. Cleaning public bathrooms is a hard job. But just because a job is hard doesn't mean that it justifies the salary.[/quote]

The market justifies the salary. If one school went to their head and declared their salary was being cut by 25-50%, the head would leave and no worthy candidate would touch the job. So it’s not happening.  Sports stars and heads of school. And lawyers. And consultatants.  And CEO’s. Big salaries.  And they’re not coming down anytime soon. Or ever. [/quote]
