Principals or managers whose schools are in turmoil and whose students show low production, inferior quality product, and lack of enthusiasm and participation, would find themselves out of a job. In fact, a school with such poor quality indicators would soon find itself in bankruptcy and out of the business of teaching. Poor businesses and poor managers do not survive the way poor schools and poor managers survive. And unlike business, schools offer little if any financial incentives or rewards. Teachers and managers do not share in the rewards of success.
Public schools exist in perpetuity whether they are good, bad, or indifferent.
If the students in a school are not achieving, unmotivated, and disinterested in learning, schools are given extra money for remediation programs such as those for students at-risk or truants. School people operate with the belief that any weaknesses or problems present in a school, among students, in the leadership, or the organization, can best be solved by spending more money on more specialized programs. Try and run a business with such mentality and philosophy and you will be banished. If a plant manager asks for more money to boost an inept worker's production, or to motivate the worker to get out of bed and come to work, the manager will be fired. Educators never give up on anyone.
