I'm pretty sure I am what would be called underqualified.

I am literally grading master's assignments by school superintendents who are trying to get education degrees.  I have a B.A., and have never taken a single class in education.  All I know about education is from my experience as a K-16 student.  And administration?  No knowledge whatsoever.  This is ridiculous. 

More things I'm underqualified for: reviewing submissions to a journal called The Rural Educator, and writing articles to be submitted to journals like Research in Rural Education!  What.  The.  Hell.  How did I end up here?  Cosmic joke, yes?  I suggest you not start subscribing to these journals, because the likes of me are responsible for their content. 

Thus my comments never have anything to do with education.  They're like this:

There is no thesis. 
Not a strong conclusion. 
Spelling and grammar need help (this one doesn't get sent to the person who wrote it!).
This needs to be better organized.
Your graphs were good, if slightly crowded.
Think of specific factors that make Crete Public Schools unique.
Make it clear from the beginning that you'll be focusing on Maxey Elementary.
This needs a bigger font!
Include a table of contents.
You don't make your mission statement clear enough.
This would have been a very good profile if you had included achievement data.

Heh--I see a future as an editor for you :D (Don't worry, this fate is much more escapable than something Tiresias or the Delphic oracle comes up with.)

My crystal ball says piracy, highway robbery, and insider trading are ALL STILL OPEN for you.

i like "There is no thesis."

and...they don't wanna spend the money to hire somebody qualified, yes?

Well, sort of. It's more like they don't want to hire a graduate student for whatever reason. I was hired to do secretarial, clerical stuff - the woman I replaced did the same kind of thing. Gradually I've started doing things that my boss would otherwise be doing - like grading papers. I get the sense I'm more of a time-saver than a money-saver.
