I’m confused.
Who do we see as our boss?
The department head?
The principal?
The superintendent?
The school board?
The community?
Who?
Some may say students, but we don’t really answer to them.
If we did, we would give them what they want and not what we think they need.
So who is our actual boss?

I think I agree with Ms. Shuler above. It is everyone. That is why it is so flippin’ complicated to actually make changes in the system.
I would also add that the general public is our boss. They are the ones who vote on levies and referendums that give us or don’t give us the things we think we need.

@Knaus, Complicated is an understatement.

No kidding! It is really complicated.
That’s why I hope to see education transition to the private sector. It would look more like this:
Consumer: Parent’s/Student
Producer: School/Teacher
Principals: Manager
Owner = Boss
Choices make us perform better.

@Marcus Byrd @ TeacherAde, I like it.
But I’m guessing others may not.
