Education a High Paid Jobs Program in New Mexico

Is Educational Administration a high priced jobs program for New Mexico? Here in New Mexico we spend a large amount of our taxpayer’s dollars not in the classroom but on Educational Administrator which has brought our state to the ranking of 48th in the country when it comes to quality. Teacher and students get less then forty percent of the funding and educators must spend their own personal income to provide supplies for their students while administration gives large donations to political leaders to insure their next pay increase which will not include the students or the people who work directly with those students. Smart reform would take control of this hugely top heavy system and redirect the money toward the classroom. Washington is the only state where the rate of money going to the students and teachers is less. How can a poor state like New Mexico afford such a high priced jobs program for educational administration at a time when the economy is in such poor condition? When will the quality of education for our children come before these high paid Wall Street CEO Type educational administrators?
