[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume that one reason you are sending your child to a private school is for the quality of the experience. Perhaps even a world class educational experience. Always amazes me that people want an exceptional experience but think the leader of the organization should not be compensated as such. I promise you your head of school could make far more in a different role. [/quote]

I actually worry more about how well the teachers are being compensated. They are the ones doing the actual work of the school, not the HOS.

Happy teachers affect my child. Whether the HOS is there doesn’t have as much impact.

- parent AND teacher [/quote]

I am all for robust compensation for teachers. However, I have seen this simplistic, naive argument written here a million times, the argument that "real" work is being done by the teachers and administrators don't contribute much. Administrators are career professionals in finance or HR or Law, it takes intelligence, skill, leadership, experience to manage the funds, to manage the board and parents and staff. These professionals don't come cheap as they juggle a hundred balls in the air, so yes they will continue to command excellent pay.

Teachers on the other hand only need to focus on managing their classroom, there is simply no comparison. Should teachers be paid more? Absolutely. Should administrators be paid less? Absolutely not, that is if you want competent people managing and running an organization.[/quote]

HOS should make a lot.  Way more than teachers.  Their job is much harder.  In this market a good HOS is worth at least 500k.[/quote]
