Top-Heavy.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n6 p472-73 Feb 1999
A Hudson Institute study claims school administration is top-heavy. Actually, U.S. teachers constitute 78% of the instructional staff, which includes principals, assistant principals, librarians, and counselors. A 1998 OECD report shows that some nations have surpassed the U.S. graduation rate. The U.S. spends the most on higher education. (MLH)
