In the private sector, people move about in senior positions, gradually moving on until they either reach the level of their incompetence or score that top job. These people are scored on their skills and what they do for the company and are normally required to report to a board of directors, including, when they themselves reach board level. The board normally understands the business they are in to the nth degree so the cast offs get moved out fairly quickly.
Do we have an informed structure within the teaching industry and do we have the people at the top who make the appointments, sufficiently skilled in order to make these person judgements so that the whole level of teaching professional standards goes up. The answer is probably not and maybe there is a need to get the Mr D's of this world gradually moving further up the ladder so that we can have, for example, a UK el Supremo Head who deals with the teaching structure rather than a glut of council employees and civil servants setting targets and standards who have almost certainly never stood in front of an unruly class in their life.
The question was asked earlier about soldiers, sailors and airmen risking their lives for not much money. But, there is a chain of command and any serving person in todays armed forces could get the top job. How much does the first sea lord get per annum?? The same, in my opinion goes with any structure, do the job, learn the ropes and with a lot of ambition and a little luck the top job is there.
Don't expect top dollar for stacking the shelves.
