The Unbalance of Talent in Schools
In private industry, the staffing ratio is often one tech employee to 70 other employees, while in K-12 tech, it is frequently one tech employee to a thousand others. The speaker notes the disparity and the need for more employees in schools, highlighting that the current advocacy for additional staff falls short of what is truly required. The tendency to compare staffing levels to neighboring schools, which are also usually understaffed, perpetuates the status quo based on budget constraints, rather than addressing the actual technological needs and advancements.
