The size is the problem when your a private/charter shill, this dude has written books about it lol "The Urban School System of the Future: Applying the Principles and Lessons of Chartering (2012)." Step 1. break up large school districts, Step 2. open up charter/private schools, Step 3. collect tax money for 2-3 years while providing no educational value and shut down before any mandatory education minimums kick in. Step 4. Repeat steps 2-3

It's big brain.

After getting a degree in Ed., I taught 9-12 science and math (5 preps each day) for 3 years (those poor kids) before I ran away screaming.

Of course, YMMV. The background of 'my' district superintendant (an elected position) was that he had been a Colonel in the Army. He made damn sure I arrived by 7:30 a.m. each day.

5 preps is like a second part time job.
