Funny but those CEOs are the ones who get fired when the company doesn't make enough profit. Those CEOS are held accountable for things within a company even when they had no control. Those CEOs spend more hours on the job then anyone knows. Those CEOs get paid a salary when averaged out for the number of hours and jobs they do is less then the hourly employee often. Those CEOs are on call 24/7 unless they turn their phone off- then they still can be found. Those CEOs are left with sleepless nights over what cuts they have to do and who will loose their job because stockholders demand results and if they don't someone else will make harder cuts. Those CEOs carry more weight on their shoulders then most wish torealize- just like any position there are good and bad. And being that teachers are for the most part public employees their salaries are public record. Why speak up for the CEO because they too are people with families who often don't get the luxury of spending time with their family as they like.
