Hi everyone, welcome to my Become The Boss online blog. I wanted to do this for sometime. My brother, Philip, is a wizard at web technologies. It’s amazing what he has done with this and my other Become The Boss site.

In 1970, average tecehar pay was $9729, just under a third of the average pay of an NFL player. In 2009, average tecehar pay, in Wisconsin, was $48,267 — approximately half of one percent of the average pay of an NFL player. Despite the increased dollar amounts we’re throwing at education, test scores aren’t rising. Do you think it might be, in part, because the best and brightest aren’t attracted to teaching?Obviously few who might become tecehars also have the option of becoming professional football players. But bright young people do have other options. Today law schools and medical schools are roughly half female. That was simply not the case in 1970. Smart women have more options available to them than they did forty years ago.Teachers’ unions are partially to blame for this, as Tarkenton points out, by negotiating collective bargaining agreements that are lockstep rather than based on results. In their defense, this was intended as a protection against the favoritism of principals. Measuring results in the classroom is a lot more subjective than measuring results on the football field. As for the point raised by Anon. 1:07, yes, we choose to pay for football, but we also choose to pay for education. I suspect if you compared the comp packages at Marquette High or the University School, they would not look that dissimilar to public school pay.And, in the long run, if we choose to pay that much more for football than we do for education, it’ll be reflected in what we become as a nation. We’ll lag behind other nations in educational achievement.But we’ll play really good sports.
