...in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. Examples in education would be teachers who work and sacrifice to teach children, vs. union representatives who work to protect any teacher including the most incompetent. The Iron law states that in all cases, the second type of person will always gain control of the organization, and will always write the rules under which the organization functions.

Hence, the reason why the total percentage of administrators in Education has grown from 10% to over 50% since the 50's. Take your kids our of public school now. But make sure to research the schools you put them into: it will determine whether they become a snowflake or a productive citizen.

The poor are there so that we coastal elites can enjoy the sounds of their crunching bones under our Bentleys.
