47. Our whole pay structure is so screwed up
in this business.

My school won an award from the state one year. Only school in our district to get it. And our principal was the lowest paid administrator in the district. The following year, she asked for a raise and was denied. They told her she wasn't heading a large enough school. So more kids means a higher salary??
